[quote=Anonymous]Put simply, Basis does not tolerate behavioral challenges. It distracts from the rigorous and test intensive environment in all grades. The structure can even be tough for mainstream kids with no issues at the elementary level. Regarding “getting off the train” something for you to seriously consider is that other privates don’t really understand the Basis rigor and it’s impact to grading. Even really smart kids end up with some mediocre grades. Add to that the SSAT/ISEE test optional environment and the kids don’t stand out at all after putting in all of that effort. Not to mention that the Basis model is to keep kids there since it goes through 12, which means no real help or support in applying out. The result is often that kids get stuck there or going to public as there is not a great track record for those that seek admission to other competitive local privates.[/quote]
