Osprey Blocks
Part of the Animas Experience
Osprey Blocks are three-week long courses designed to engage students through academically rigorous, cross-disciplinary, immersive studies that connect classroom learning to powerful, real-world experiences. The world becomes our classroom, and Osprey Block classes take advantage of the shift in our schedule by engaging in more frequent off-campus excursions and activities, including wilderness-based expeditions and travel. Osprey Blocks are team-taught, and students receive .5 academic credit upon successful completion, as they do for semester-long elective courses.
Ospreys Blocks are just one of the many programs that provide students The Animas Experience, but it is also one of the more expensive programs to run. AHS provides Ospreys Blocks at reduced course fee levels to support greater equity and access for students and families. AHS subsidizes the program from its budget and students who qualify have course fees waived.
This is why we ask for your support today. By making a tax-free donation to Osprey Blocks you allow choice, not cost, to guide student decision-making while ensuring other robust, school-funded programing can continue. Our budget is not unlimited (we wish it were!) but it can be flexible with your support.
Help AHS continue to think creatively about what public education can look like.
