[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS also doesn't care much about offering a well-rounded education. Where's their music program? Stuart Hobson has a decent one. Where's their stage for performances? Where's their serious art instruction? Where's their language instruction prior to 8th grade or post AP level? Deal teaches languages from 6th grade, Walls lets kids take college level languages at GW univ, and even JR and DCI teach Spanish past AP.

Sure, BASIS is a decent option for your tax dollars in a sea of mediocrity and failure, just not all that great other than for math and science. "STEM" is a real stretch for BASIS. The franchise can't afford much in the way of tech or engineering.[/quote]

I think BASIS offers plenty via the arts.  They have great art electives starting in 6th grade (my kid loves the creative writing classes).  BASIS does a musical every semester as an after-school elective.  The music teacher runs it and is really great.  I do wish that BASIS had a nicer building, offered language instruction before 8th grade, and gave kids more outside time.  Despite these short-comings, my not particularly math/science-focused kid is thriving at BASIS and we're happy to have it as an option.  [/quote]
