[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea if I want to send my kid to Basis or not (they're still in early elementary). But I'm genuinely asking...does anyone know why they're asking to start an elementary instead of a second middle/high school? I get that Basis wants to prepare students for its academic approach earlier than grade 5, but DC has a lot of strong elementary schools. There aren't nearly as many strong middle/high schools. Aren't there more than enough interested families to fill a second Basis middle/high? [/quote] It is part of the Basis model. Every other Basis school in the country has a K-4 program. So they are trying to remedy what they see as an anomaly within the Basis system, not respond to a demand inherent to DC.[/quote]
