[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several families who chose Basis over Latin (mostly for the location).  I would also like families to comment who have had a child at both schools.  It seems like anecdotally from our friends, that kids in aftercare at Basis get their homework done, versus kids at Latin who bring it home and it kind of takes over family life.  I guess we will apply to both for my kid.[/quote]

I have an older child at Latin and a 5th grader, who is very math/science focused.  My older child is very happy, thriving, learning and exceling with the curriculum at Latin and I wouldn't have moved her from Latin for a new untested (in DC) school where she would have been in one of the top two leading classes.  I was attracted to Basis for my second child based on Basis's promise of a science/math focus.  However, the other kids I knew who were going to Basis from his school were the most disruptive kids in the class.  So, in the end I decided to go with what we knew and were familiar with.   I haven't regretted the choice.

When my child at Latin has opted for study hall in school or after, most of the homework has been done by time she gets home.  Mostly she prefers doing it at home.  [/quote]
