1. Basis will have a gym?  A gym fits in that building?  Is that where they are doing PE, since there is no outdoor space?

2. Do they have a school uniform?

3. Is there a chance that they may have to relocate to a bigger building once they expand the grades year after year?  (9th grade next year, 10th grade after that....)

4. They are anticipating to have extracurricular activities.  Where would they do the soccer or baseball (or any other sports) practice?

I know these are not academic related questions.  But I understand they aim to have a very rigorous academic program, so I'd like to learn about other areas.  [/quote]

1. No standard gym, but they'll have an "exercise room" on the 1st floor. The architectural plans for the building are on the website. They had been talking about a potential partnership with the YWCA up the street but I don't know where they are with that. They also plan to use the Mall for running around.

2. No school uniform.

3. No plans to move to a bigger building. The building in Penn Quarter is it.

Basis is planning on offering as afterschool activities orchestra, choir, drama club, soccer, running, chess club, art club, debate team, science bowl, quiz bowl, storytelling, fencing, robotics, yoga, etc. depending upon on interest. The building is permanent location and holds their anticipated total capacity. [/quote]
