The teachers are incredible, some of the best lessons and conversations I have ever had. Project-based learning isn't for the faint of heart, so be ready to work hard.

5/21/2020

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.
