[quote=Anonymous]Go on, mock those who call out BASIS' relentless dreariness if you think it's cute. If your kid can crack an Ivy from an unhappy high school like BASIS, so you don't have to find one that keeps them sane, more power to you. Mine refused to return after 8th grade, which was annoying. He wanted to play his wind instrument with classmates in a school orchestra that plays the score for school musicals. He wanted to study a language at the advanced level from 9th grade, to make it a year or two past AP level. He wanted to take multiple AP physics exams eventually (there are four, BASIS only teaches the content for one). He wanted a strong visual arts program. I enrolled him at public high school in VA, where my ex lives. He missed friends at BASIS for a year or two, but that's about it. He was admitted to my alma mater, a top 10 SLAC Early Admissions in the fall. [/quote]
