THE ACADEMY AT AMERICAN HIGH
The Academy at American High is committed to creating a sustainable ecosystem of skilled film crew in Central New York by providing our students with hands-on experience. We believe the best way to learn is to do, and that’s what The Academy is all about: providing opportunities that no other program can. Here you’re not just a student, you’re crew!
Throughout the year, The Academy hosts training seminars for film professionals, students, and community members in the Syracuse area, including classes on Screenwriting, Set Design, Tech of Production, Directing, and more! Additionally, our American High Development, Creative, and Production Internships put students on the ground floor with working professionals, allowing them to experience the film industry firsthand. Learn more about such opportunities below!
