[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by the lack of extra curriculars? We have friends at BASIS and their kid does fencing at BASIS. I under stem they have other extra curricular stuff at school too. kid is also in soccer and ice skating. Could certainly be in Scouts too, though isn't.

I think the rest of your points are very valid though. I used to do admissions interviews for my selective liberal arts college. They do not offer college credit for a 3 on the AP![/quote]

BASIS does have a ton of extracurricular activities. And, if they aren't totally fleshed out, I think we need to remember that it's a brand new school that, until this coming school year, only went up to 10th grade. But whatever. In addition to BASIS activiites, my kids and their friends participate in Scouts (quite a few kids we know have the goal of being an Eagle Scout or earning their GS Gold Award), travel soccer, DC Youth Orchestra, ballet, horseback riding, competitive swimming, etc. We ive in a city with such a wealth of opportunities for interesting activities for kids, there is no shortage of programs or activities for kids in which to find their niche and excel.
