[quote=Anonymous]To answer the OP's original question, I think a lot of the following might help:

If your kids is getting math scores below the 90th percentile, they will find the math and science classes really stressful.

If you have an arts and humanities focused kid (over STEM), they probably will not enjoy it.

If your kid isn't great with executive functioning, they will find it stressful.

If you are a parent with helicopter tendencies (this is not a judgement, but I don't know how else to say it), you and your kid will find it stressful. (because you will be on their case about the amount of work, so there will be a lot of nagging, and they won't take over responsibility and will slowly drown in the workload).

That one is a little interesting, bc a lot of BASIS parents have really high expecations for their kids (including me). So it's a parent with high expectations but who is willing to let go and let their kid handle it.

That leaves:

Kids who find math easy, want to learn a ton, are very organized, and have parents who let them take over the responsibility for their schoolwork. These kids exist, I have one and he is genuinely happy. If you have one too, BASIS is truly a great opportunity.
