OUR MISSION

We are on a mission to help creatives get rewarding careers through mentorship from industry experts and hands-on learning. Our vision is to build future-proof careers. 

OUR START

Vertex School was founded in 2010 by Ryan Kingslien with a vision for how to help creatives land jobs. Spending $100,000 on a college education isn't an option for everyone, and it shouldn't need to be.

Vertex School is a live, online school where you can learn from industry experts no matter where you're located. Without the burden of a physical location, we put forth that anyone, anywhere, can find success in the world of 3D. It just takes a bit of grit and dedication to the craft.
