[quote=Anonymous]The lack of ability to take a foreign language at a more advanced level sooner than 8th grade at BASIS is disappointing. But it wasn’t a deal breaker for us when we considered that schools that do emphasize foreign language studies around here seem to do so at the expense of other subjects that we happen to value more. Families who value foreign language above all else should not choose BASIS. This has been discussed on DCUM ad nauseam. Don’t come to BASIS and complain about the foreign language program - they don’t hide the info on this so you make a knowing choice to come to BASIS. Lots of students learn languages and other subjects of interest outside of school. It can be tricky when DC has lots of traffic and BASIS has lots of studying or homework, but it can be done. I’ll note that so many middle school students love the linguistics class and the teacher for that class is phenomenal. [/quote]
