The main thing that drew me to AHS is that I wanted a change from traditional schools, where I felt like I wasn't being stimulated and creative enough. Animas's combination of both academic and artistic aspects intrigued me. The schools I had gone to before hadn't involved much art in the work. I learn best by doing, So a project-based school sounded like a perfect fit. Unlike the traditional public schools I've attended throughout my life, Animas's work is purposeful, and skill-building, not mind-numbing, busy work. Animas also doesn't teach to the test so I retain what I'm learning, and I can take pride in my work. I feel I can be an individual at Animas because the school is small so it's easy to get to know the other students and the teachers. Which makes advocating and asking for help a much less daunting task.
