We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Animas has a great project learning system that differs from a standard curriculum. You also get to build great relationships with your teachers. The food is catered from local restaurants and a different restaurant serves each day.
