Why I chose Animas is because I am used to the project based learning and I feel like that is the learning for me. Not only is it what I am used to, but it is easier to get to and I feel that it helps you prepare for college and what you need to do for future life. This also helps me with presenting and public speaking skills due to SLC/s POL.’s. Another reason why I chose Animas is because I have heard that there is very personal relationship with the teachers and we are all a big family. How this compares to my old school is yes, it was a project based school, but as you got older and into the higher grades it became less project based and more public school based. It was a good school, but I was there for the project based learning which was a new type of learning to me in middle school. I really liked the school, but as I got older it became less project based and kind of boring. So far Animas is a great school and I am really enjoying it for its project based school and its community. I’m glad I chose Animas.
