[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the families choosing to go private for high school, have you found that your child’s middle school experience/success at BASIS is largely what caused your child to be admitted to the private school? Do you think that, without BASIS, your child may not have been admitted? [/quote] Who knows. If we could have afford private middle and high school, we wouldn't have gone with BASIS for the former. We didn't rely on the school for extra curricular achievement. We plugged away outside with music and art, which paid off. DD auditioned for music scholarships at privates and was successful at one. We hire a writing tutor and have pushed for the kids to progress in a language taught at BASIS but only from 7th grade (from 8th grade as of this fall). All of this cost us almost as much as a basic parochial school would have. The kids' strong math and science grades and scores on entrance exams can't have hurt. [/quote]
