[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not pp, but BASIS is not a "classics" school and does not claim to be. While Latin language is part of the middle school curriculum, starting in 5th grade (and 5th graders also take "Classics", which is an ancient history course), the main focus is on science and math. [/quote] I'd characterize Basis as with accelerated math and science, but also with some traditional liberal arts and classics foundations (though not deep, as they don't offer Greek). They go beyond Latin on math and science offerings and class hours, but will in some grades also double up on courses like English (for example separate language and literature classes) - also, heavy focus on college preparatory work with a lot of AP offerings. Some parallels to Latin, but also somewhat different. They both look to be excellent schools - better offerings than what I had growing up.[/quote]
