                      Why I Chose Animas

                      A little over three years ago I had the choice to go to Animas, DHS, BHS, or Campion Christian Academy in Loveland CO.  There was a lot of pressure on me to go Campion because mostly everyone on my Dad's side of the family has gone there. But I chose to stay in Durango because I feel like if I went to campion I would have basically moved out from living with my family at the end of 8th grade. And that's not something i wanted. But I still had to decide between DHS, BHS and Animas. I could have either chosen between a school that has been around for many years or a school that hasn't even started yet. But I ended up choosing Animas in the end because I liked the idea of a small school having small class sizes allowing me to have a closer relationship with my teachers and classmates. The other huge factor that played a roll in my decision is that Animas offered project based learning. This way I am able to apply the knowledge I lean and display that in a project allowing the knowledge have a larger impact on me versus the traditional school system when you study, test then forget everything you learned. Being a Junior I can still remember back to what I learned in freshmen year because I am able to associate certain content to a project.
