[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't recommend Basis for 5th or 6th grader. It is a brain drain of worksheets and unrealistic responsibility standards. Choose a school that allows your kid to be creative and hands on. Basis is not that.[/quote] Like all schools, BASIS has its pros and cons and is not right for everyone but it is very right for many kids. Do your own research and determine for yourself and your child if it is a good fit. My DC loves it there and although the greatly increased responsibility is a bit much at times, I cannot deny how much DC has grown. And the science and math DC is learning far superior to what would have been learned at DC's inbound school for 5th grade. Also, DC is taking Art, Latin, Classics, English and Geography all at a level far above what DC otherwise would have had. Not always easy but for us worth it.[/quote]
