[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chill to cram four years of HS classes into three? Right.[/quote] It actually is pretty chill, believe it or not. I have had two kids in HS at BASIS. It's very comfortable and kids are support one another because they've been together so long. [/quote] PP here with the first "chill" comment - what I meant is that all of the drama I see in my niece's fancy suburban high school is missing. Generally friend groups are established, no "mean girls", no fights, threats, gangs, drug/pill/booze culture. Not overly materialistic and the competition has dialed down from middle school. Having the non-AP senior year enables them to not freak out about college applications. Junior year is kind of intense, but the students aren't nervous and overly worried about APs since they are used to them and the SAT isn't scary.[/quote]
