The Interactive Digital Media program at Sisler is leading education that will fuel growth in Manitoba’s creative industry. By implementing specialized instruction in new media (Animation, Game Design, 3D, Sound Design, App Development, Motion Graphics, Visual Effects, Movie-Making, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, etc) Sisler’s IDM framework teaches relevant skills that prepare students for post-secondary education and in many cases lead to direct employment in the industry. 

“I wanted to send you a note to say how much I enjoyed my visit, and how taken I was by the extraordinary students and teachers in the program. I found your students to be respectful, smart, inquisitive and attentive. Their questions were as good as any I receive anywhere — and I’ve spoken at Harvard, Google and quite a few other places. They are a very special group.”– Dr. Lawrence Levy, Former CFO of Pixar
“The educators and IDM program framework at Sisler are in a league of their own—it is perhaps the top IDM program in Canada.  Sisler consistently produces some of our country’s brightest young talent and we highly value their collaboration with VFS.”  – Dr. Ted Gervan, Dean of Fine and Applied Arts, Capilano University
“I am floored by the work of Sisler High School’s Interactive Digital Media students.  Thanks to the dedication of the teaching staff at Sisler, these students have developed an incredible and highly-professional skill base. It’s little wonder they are being recognized nationally for their work.” – Carole Vivier, Manitoba Film & Music CEO
