Why I chose Animas...
I chose Animas High School (AHS), a charter school, because I am a visual and hands on learner. Being a charter school, it is a project based school which is good so I can learn through projects. Also, I came from Mountain Middle School, another charter school, and I liked it there a lot more than my elementary school I went there from. I really liked the hands on experience I got at Mountain and decided to continue to enjoy my education. I feel like I can be challenged on my own accord, by advocating for myself. I feel that at AHS you have the opportunity to push yourself and take ownership for your own education which is good ‘real world’(or not school) experience. At Animas, it is a really tight knit community between students and between teachers and students. I like the student teacher relationships because I know my teachers on a more personal level which makes it a better environment for me personally. Even at Mountain, I had some pretty good student/teacher relationships and I am glad to continue that. Project based learning, ownership, and teacher student relationships are just a few reasons why I chose Animas.
