There is no application or cost for this class - if your student is between the ages of 13-18 and lives in L.A. County all you need to do is sign up. This is a rigorous learning environment so we do ask that students who sign up for this program have an expressed interest in art and the capacity to learn in this environment for the full 30-weeks.

We understand that 30 weeks is a long time commitment! Animation takes a long time to go from idea to finished project, so the 30 weeks are packed with content. If you need to miss more than two weeks during the year outside of existing program breaks this program may not be the best fit. 

This class will require students to work independently, utilize fine motor skills, follow multi-step processing directions, and be in an environment that sometimes has loud noises and/or flashing lights. Please let us know when you register if your student requires accommodation to be able to learn in this environment.

Unfortunately due to limited capacity in our classes we do not allow students to be enrolled in more the one class at a time.

We accept students into the program in August or September of every year. If your student's enrollment or position on the waitlist has been confirmed you will get an email at the address you provided when you signed them up. If you registered them after October and you have not heard back they have been added to the waitlist and you will get an email if a spot opens up at the site you requested. 

Students are moved from the waitlist as spots become available at the beginning of class. If someone drops out of class too late in the semester or in the year there may be too much information for a new student to catch up on. We will let you know as soon as we can if a spot opens up. If you do not hear from us in the early weeks of the program, unfortunately your student will likely remain on the waitlist.
