[quote=Anonymous]NB.  Basis has an amendment to add a ES, and even if in the beginning due to lack of child-led philosophies, it is less than successful, at some point, parents may choose that option to guarantee admission into Basis for MS/HS.  Thus, it may be more comparable to SWW @FS in a few short years.

I think CMI has potential to become a MS competitive with BASIS MS (Latin, etc) in those same short years.  However, it would need to invest in that decision (only resource being DCUM forums, so I'm referencing separate teachers for all the subjects, respected textbooks, hard sciences, AP options, etc).  However, I also think that CMI has potential to stand out as a leader in as a high-class SN MS if it invests in that decision (SN priority, SN resources, perhaps additional non-school options, etc).  At this point, it sounds like CMI has not made a decision to invest in its future one way or the other -- it wants to have a few SN-friendly ideas with the same teacher, for example (but not SN priority and not an SN commitment) and and some academic prestige with the labs, for example (but not invest in a MS hard science teacher and science textbooks).  I think the indecision is hurting it and a decision each way will prove it to be successful either way (using its successful ES model as proof).

Another poster asked DCUM to give it one month to make these decisions and start to forge its path here in DC.  I'm interested to see if that one month makes any difference at all, or if it's just a way to postpone these decisions in the first place which should have been made last year or earlier.[/quote]
