BASIS DC to me was always lacking in a lot of their fields, but I can't hate on my school too hard because it allowed me to make my best connections, and made college admissions and senior year feel like a breeze.

BASIS D.C. undoubtedly prepares students for college. The curriculum is rigorous and encourages students to get out of their comfort zone and master all subject areas.

This is our first year at Basis and our daughter is so far loving it and we are nothing but impressed with what we've seen so far. She really enjoys the class material and her teachers and is just thriving. Initially, we were worried about the homework being too much but a month into school and our daughter already has gotten down the routine. Also, they have study hall during school each day where they can get a head start on their homework.

This school is very fast paced and most of the time you have to teach your self. the teachers are all horrible except a select few, and we have no time for anything out side of studying and homework. The school is very tight and crammed and cold. the expectations of us are ridiculous, and only focus...

Unfortunately I would not recommend this school. While the curriculum is rigorous, the support system is not set up to actually support the students and the administration is terrible with communication. Having a child who spent their school career in this building , I feel overall it is not worth i...
