[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] While it's admirable that BASIS is a school for academics, most colleges are looking for kids who have the whole package. Grades and test scores provide some evidence of motivation, as does a rigorous curriculum, but top colleges are seeking kids who also undertake leadership roles, think critically, organize events, and master skills outside of a classroom setting. The high scoring kids with the latter skills will be the alumni who provide bragging rights. [/quote] Right, but school ends at 3:30 which leaves time for community-based activities after school, provided the student can get from the school to the activity. That's where the ample transit around Basis really helps. Granted maybe not for every fifth-grader but my seventh grader proudly carries his metro card and gets where he needs to go on his own.[/quote]
