Guiding you to your dream career.

Has it always been a dream of yours to work in AAA games, films, XR, or the Metaverse? At Vertex School we train students to get a career working in these industries. 

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a higher quality, more affordable and up to date alternative to associate and bachelor degree programs which can be outdated by the time you finish them.

At Vertex School we offer one on one and small group mentorship from top artists working at places like Blizzard, CD PROJEKT RED, Naughty Dog, Fall Damage, and more. 

Get industry-ready with personalized career training and mentorship from professional film and game artists.

Whether you’re straight out of high school, changing careers, or upgrading skills, Vertex School gives you direct access to industry experts who have worked at major studios, a job-focused curriculum, and career development support to help you build the skills and confidence to pursue a fulfilling career in games, film, XR, and more!

AFTER GRADUATING FROM VERTEX: 

Environment Artist at Maverick Games


"The program gave me access to advice from mentors who are industry professionals. My mentors helped me push my term III project to a level where although it was the only complete environment project in my portfolio, it was enough to land multiple interviews with AAA companies and also a job. 

To add to that, one of my mentors helped connect me with numerous recruiters and other professionals in his contacts. This included the art director at Maverick Games who connected with me personally for an interview after the referral."
