[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has the structure and educational/administrative resources of an incredibly well run large organization and the feel of a very small school.  This was demonstrated a few years back when a principal left mid-year right before the pandemic.  The turnover was seemless, with the corporate head of curriculum moving from Arizona for the rest of the year to take over and simultaneously look for a replacement.  Then when covid hit, the school didn’t even blink.  I’ve compared a lot of experiences, but Basis had the administrative skill to send all the kids home with a week of packets of actually helpful on topic work, switch spring break to the next week to regroup and then seemlessly went remote, not letting either academics or extracurriculars slide.  You can knock the place for a lot of things, but the administration is pretty rock solid.[/quote]

How long have you been at BASIS? Sounds like 1-2 school years. 8 years in for our eldest, I can't agree with most of this.

The current HOS is an asinine as administrator though you may not have noticed this if you haven't brought pressing concerns to him. He's about the WORST we've dealt with, and we've dealt directly with half a dozen. 
The one female HOS was the best by a longshot. BASIS' strong suit is far and away the peer group and maybe half of the faculty, not the administration or AZ inputs.[/quote]
