[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We wanted a rigorous, classics-based, college preparatory track school for DC, and Latin was definitely very high on our radar, it looks like a fantastic option.  Tough choice, but we ended up going with BASIS for a couple of reasons - we think BASIS will have somewhat greater rigor and academic culture as they don't do social promotion and will not be accepting students at the higher grades - also, for us DC's commute to Latin would have been brutal, but BASIS is much easier for us to get to.   Latin would definitely be our alternate.[/quote]

We are not yet ready for either school.  In scanning the BASIS website for curriculum offerings, I see rigor for sure but I don't really see that it provides superior offerings in the classics.  Or a classics-driven curriculum if you will, in the manner of Columbia College's core curriculum.

If you're still here, would you come back and point me to what you mean?

(for Latin, this aspect jumps out at you immediately)[/quote]
