[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re inbound for S-H and presently on the Basis waitlist. Our child is self-motivated and excels academically but is prone to stress and anxiety. Anyone care to opine on the better option?[/quote] My DS is an 8th grader at BASIS and is happy and not stressed at all about grades. He flirts with straight A's but ually gets a B or C in a couple classes. He has never mentioned any competitiveness that I can recall. Most of the previous posters are not even parents of BASIS. The current principal has reduced HW. It's not the drill drill drill school that people think. [/quote] PP here. My main negatives are teacher turnover at the lower grades and the curriculum in the lower school moves so fast it's more survey than learning. 8th grade and hopefully HS will be more robust.[/quote]
