[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6th grade BASIS parent here. Do I feel sad that the facilities suck? yes, I do. Is my kid learning things above and beyond any other public DC middle, yes he is. Does it suck to not have a proper auditorium, yes it does. BASIS is for strong academic content. Nothing else. If this is what you and your kid want, then BASIS is for you. It's not that complicated.[/quote] I'd agree with you if the BASIS curriculum wasn't so narrow. Strong academic content is too general descriptor, particularly in the upper high school grades, to tell us all we need to know. If you switch to J-R for 11th and 12th grade your kid can prep for more than 1 AP physics exams (that's right, BASIS only teaches content for 1 of the 4 AP physics exams), along with Spanish lit, past the AP level, and variety of rich academic electives BASIS doesn't offer. We left mainly because we wanted strong high school academics we couldn't find at BASIS. [/quote]
