Digital Media Academy at Argyle Secondary     

The Digital Media Academy will be of interest to Grade 11 and 12 students who wish to pursue a media career path.  The Academy is designed to give students hands-on experience in Digital Media Art and Design and will prepare students to enter college and university programs in art, design, animation, film and television, sound recording, game design, photography and other areas involving strong media literacy skills and a creative ability to solve problems.

The Academy best suits students who are highly motivated and self-directed learners who have a strong interest in art, design, and digital media.  Academy courses will be scheduled into the student’s grade 11 and 12 schedules.  Students will work in cohorts and take their core courses together in small classes.  Field trips, guest speakers and workshops will be offered so that students can make contact with media professionals and experience various settings in the digital media industry.
