[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP sorry I meant all Juniors take AP Language and Composition[/quote]

Walls only requires 2 APs?[/quote]

Why is that a question?  Most schools (public and private) don’t require a kid take any APs.  Basis is the outlier the other way.[/quote]

Basis requires at least 6 APs to graduate, starting in 8th grade.  Of course, kids often take many more.[/quote]

This is just totally wrong - they require you to pass 1[/quote]

Actually, you are wrong.

They have to take at least 6 AP exams and get a 3 on at least one.  Here is what BASIS DC says:

[b][i]We hold students to high academic standards.[/b]

The BASIS Charter School Curriculum requires
students to demonstrate mastery of challenging
material. We use the College Board’s AP Exams®
as opportunities for them to demonstrate this
mastery. [b]Students are prepared to start taking
AP Exams® as early as grade 8, are required
to take AP courses beginning in grade 9 and
will complete at least six AP Exams® prior to
graduation[/b]. The externally generated and
graded AP Exams® also count as final exams
for AP courses. This ensures that we are holding
our students to the highest possible standards.[/i]

Also, I would note this snippet is slightly out of date because, starting this last year, BASIS started requiring 8th graders to take AP US Government & Politics.[/quote]
