My work at TFA is challenging and keeps me on my toes, but every single minute of it, even through those challenges. I can s
day on an animation piece, and that hard work shows in how th
character moves or how fluid its archs are. Whereas, at a tradit

WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE SAYING
This is the best school I have ever visited, and one of the bestjob fairs. Its a wonderful experience.
- Joe Caggiano, Rhythm & Hues Studios
What Tribeca Flashpoint Academy does so well is bridging thegap between traditional, general classes and what it is like to
really go out there and get a job.
- Lauren McGoodwin, Hulu
Tribeca Flashpoint students know what they are talking aboutThey have had exposure to real life projects. If they were hired
into any of our teams at Nickelodeon, they would be able to hit
the ground running.
