[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader is happy, but we still would think of moving for high school. I'm not sure why BASIS would buy a building with no fields, no auditorium, no gym, etc. [/quote]

It's a city school. The kids I know there have lots of activities outside of school -- they're not relying on the school to provide that stuff, they're doing travel soccer or orchestra or whatever with the great resources DC has.[/quote]

OK, but Basis won't even develop much in the way of really nerdy competitive extra-curriculars like chess and debate.

Ever talk to the Certamen parents who pay all the kids' expenses to compete? None of the competing schools demand this.[/quote]

BASIS offers chess and debate and science and math clubs. All of the clubs, including certamen and sports, have fees associated with them and all of them can be paid for if the family qualifies for extra financial assistance.

What are you talking about, pp? Or are you 5+ years out of date?[/quote]
