[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ...More would crack the most highly competitive colleges. A few of the most ambitious students wind up taking AP exams in subjects that BASIS doesn't teach at other schools..[/quote]

BASIS kids this year (and in years past) have done very well in terms of college acceptance - especially when you consider the small class size.

[/quote]  Right, no room for improvement at BASIS.  None.

Every school has room for improvement, but for a class of ~60, from a non-application, free high school, they have great results (Yale, Penn, UVA, JHU, McGill, Tufts, W&M, UCLA, UMD, VT, etc.)

You seem to have an axe to grind.  Maybe your kid didn't like it, or couldn't deal with the workload.  That's OK.

Of course. People with complaints couldn't possible have successful children at BASIS.  :roll: [/quote]

If you're the person that wrote:  "...These guys promote a culture in which students aren't given enough scope to excel academically by building on singular talents and interests...", then it would seem that your student(s) aren't excelling academically.

[/quote]

Actually, I didn't write that.  You're talking to more than one person.  I'm just a PP who is sick of boosters response being "your kid couldn't deal with the workload" to any criticism of BASIS.  It's tired (and inaccurate).   [/quote]
