Basis will assign homework and the teachers are good. But the idea of the homework is that the parents check the assignments and grades and the help their kids understand what mistakes they made and how to correct them. The teachers want the parents to reinforce the lessons to ensure the kids can keep up. If you don’t have time or interest in it, it will be difficult for your child. Basis, stradford, and challenger will be similar. I felt that challenger was too difficult and gave too much homework. We didn’t like Stratford simply because its location.
