[quote=Anonymous]It's a longer schlep from BASIS to GW or AU than from Walls. To my knowledge, few BASIS HS students have been taking advantage of dual enrollment. The main obstacle is that, at BASIS, kids need to taken their AP exams (at least six) by the end of junior year. Serious academics don't feature heavily in sr. year at BASIS. The focus is on applying to college, not every academically ambitious family's cup of tea. DCPS permits kids to study languages long before 8th grade. BASIS doesn't. Languages are among the most popular dual enrollment courses at Walls. It's v. uncommon for BASIS students to be in a position to handle college-level language classes. The franchise hasn't shown any interest in loosening up academic policies to support higher achievement, one of many reasons that the highest achievers tend to bail for Walls. [/quote]
