ABOUT US
We offer innovative creative tech training to prepare students for a career in games, film, XR and the metaverse.
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 just isn't an option for all artists, and it shouldn't need to be.
Vertex School is a live, online school where you can learn from AAA experts no matter where you're located. Without the burden of a physical location, we put forth that anyone, anywhere can become a successful 3D Artist. It just takes a bit of grit and dedication to the craft.
We're a higher quality, more affordable and up-to-date alternative to associate and bachelor degree programs which can be outdated by the time you finish them.
