[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recommended to open but only with grades k and 1, adding grades each year. Year one, 150 students[/quote] Will those kids' siblings get preference for MS? If this is actually about BASIS ES being able to stand on its own, they shouldn't. Otherwise, this will essentially be a tool for parents to get their older kids a leg up in MS admissions irrespective of what's best for the ESer. [/quote] Particularly a problem in the first year. I know families who would happily lottery their PK4er or Ker into BASIS, use the preference for their rising 5th grader, have their (now) Ker or 1st grader attend the first day of school and then return said kid to their IB having locked in BASIS for their family. I'm going to be honest, I currently have a Ker and a 4th grader and I would absolutely consider it. I'd tell my Ker it was a charade the whole time and he'd be back at his real school in Week 2, so not to worry about it.[/quote]
