I chose Animas for many reasons. I am a hands on learner and need project to really engage with the topic. I really love being able to build what I am learning. My brother went hear all four years of his high school career and we moved here just for this school. I love the challenge of time management and being able to work with a team. I went to a traditional school for the first seven years of school, I really struggled for those years. Once I went to Mountain Middle School I knew this type of schooling was for me. I also went here for the teacher relationships I can have. Being able to talk to the teachers without feeling threatened or scared. This school has made a perfect learning environment from the love of learning in the students and the love of teaching in the teachers. With all of the love of learning in this school it make it clear that we are here to learn. The culture is amazing ever since I stepped in this school I knew it was for me. Now Animas may not be the best for everyone because of the different learning style but Animas is the best school for me.
