[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, BASIS has a narrowly defined target student. It’s not just students of a certain academic caliber. [b]It’s also kids with specific goals and a family that likes and will buy into the BASIS approach. Some BASIS kids are very well rounded, but that usually means having activities an interests that don’t require school support but for which they get lots of family support.

Which is why a lot of families ultimately decide it’s not the right fit. The tricky thing is that if you don’t like your IB, your alternatives are also kind of narrowly focused. It’s not like ITS or CHMS are universally appealing.

I do think Latin Cooper is filling this role this year— an alternative for kids who are pretty academic but where BASIS doesn’t feel right. Obviously the original Latin campus as well, but generally that’s harder to get a spot at than BASIS.[/quote]

I'd say you're right re: who is the right fit for BASIS. If you are this type of kid and family, then BASIS is a great fit, because you're in a school with many families like yours. [/quote]
