[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BASIS DC is the best option for any academically minded kid.[/quote]
I think the IB is a much more rigorous program than taking a bunch of AP tests. I think DCI offers much more in terms of sports, clubs, extracurricular, than Basis.[/quote]

+1.  Absolutely agree about IB and wanted to add that it focuses a lot on writing and critical analysis which I believe is very important.  I say that as someone who is in a STEM field.

As to sports, clubs, and extracurriculars there is just no comparison.  DCI blows Basis away.

Also, I want my child to have a good, happy well rounded middle and high school experience like I did, not some pressure cooker, AP focus at the expense of all else.[/quote]

LOL.  If these are the 16 or so clubs at DCI, I don't think the school blows anyone away:

Seems pretty similar to BASIS DC except the latter doesn't have a dog walking club.[/quote]

16 clubs and 8 sports for quarter 4.  Other offerings in clubs and sports for quarters 1-3.  So yes, totally blows Basis away.  [/quote]

Actually, you have no idea what you are talking about.[/quote]

I'm not the person you're replying to, but saying "Actually, you have no idea what you're talking about" and then not providing a shred of "corrective info" to show what YOU are talking about is useless. So for now, that other poster's info still sounds good.[/quote]
