The Areté Media Academy has been developing — for over fifteen years — videographers and filmmakers, photographers, graphic designers and animators. Many have followed a call to create media professionally, while others have taken their media skills into other vocations. Areté students integrate concepts from rigorous English and social science curriculum into media creation, so that student production is meaningful, content-rich and contributes to more deeply understood academic principles.

Many students begin their Areté experience with little or no training, eventually graduating from the academy with employable media skills, a portfolio of professional grade production and the experience of working alongside industry professionals in carefully constructed workshop internships.
For many, the Areté Media Academy has been the motivation to pursue creative careers in media. For everyone, it is a rich environment of technical and academic education, of professional and personal relationships, and of career-building opportunities.

What Areté graduates say...

Areté was essential to where I am today. I learned fundamental methods the professional industry uses today. It gave me a head start on understanding the hardware and software I would learn more about in college and the work place. I'm the youngest person in my position at work and that would not have been possible without the media academy.

Looking back now, choosing Areté, that proved to be one of the most successful business decisions of my young career. I'm now 20 years old running my own video production company. The professional environment that the core has to offer prepares you for real life with deadlines, creative briefs, concept development, storyboards, team management, directing, you name it.

With the help of Arete, my schooling and career has been helped out tremendously. With the help of my teachers I got a full tuition scholarship, and I've worked with Nike designers and I have led a workshop at my school. If I didn’t have the foundation that Areté provided, I would not have been as successful as I am now.
