[quote=Anonymous]AZ Basis mom here. Just to clarify a few things: my oldest kid entered Basis in 7th grade. They were tested in the summer before 7th using the 6th grade math and language arts comprehensive exams. They passed with no issues, and it was assumed that they’d be able to jump in and handle all of the other subjects. If they had not passed, they would have entered in 6th grade. Basis is not placing kids multiple grade levels below their proper grade. It’s really common out here for kids to enter Basis after 5th. Also, it’s hardly a fringe educational program. If anything, most public school programs are fringe with their educational fad of the week and excessive screen time. My kids’ school feels much more like a 1980s-ish traditional education, with textbooks, note taking by hand, exams, homework, minimal grade inflation, and minimal tech. It’s the opposite of being fringe. [/quote]
