Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a school bus? Yes, please call the office for your route and bus. Do we wear uniforms? Yes, all students are required to wear dark or navy blue, collared shirts on top, and khaki-colors pants or skirts for the bottom. However, are allowed free-dress days depending on your behavior and your academic performance. Also, you do not have to buy Ánimo shirts; as long as your clothes have the correct color combination, then you will not be penalized. Who picked the school colors? Mr. Steve Barr, the person who founded Green Dot and the Ánimo schools. Mr. Barr wanted to use the University of California's school colors, so he chose blue and gold. All Ánimo students wear a dark blue top with a khaki-colored bottom, not just Ánimo Venice students. Where is the school? The school is currently located near Los Angeles Internation Airport. We will move back to Venice once the construction is complete. What time does school start and end? Take a look at our bell schedule. Will we have PE class? What if we want a dancing or surfing elective class? We have a PE class for the 10th graders. To see a complete list of courses, go to the section called "academic program" under "About Ánimo Venice." Now, if you want a dancing or surfing elective, then it's up to you and your friends. Once the school year starts, you can petition for a class that you want. Will Ánimo Venice have sports teams? Yes, we have cross-country, basketball, soccer, baseball and softball. If you and your friends want to start a new sport, you can petition for it and, if approved, then the school administration will do everything it can to make it happen.
