At Sisler, we don’t just learn, we create!

Dream of Becoming an Animator? Here’s Your Shortcut.

Welcome to the CREATE, the post-high Animation program at Sisler High School — Winnipeg’s free, hands-on animation program designed to launch your career straight into the industry or to create cool stuff.

If you’re into Story, 2D Animation, Cut-Out, 3D, World-Building, VFX, Storyboarding, or Character Design, this is your playground. You’ll work on real projects, get mentored by actual pros, and build a killer portfolio that opens doors.

And the best part?
If you’re under 21 and a high school grad, the post-high animation program is 100% FREE. No tuition. No debt. Just studio time, mentorship, and pure creative hustle.

Heads up! This program is full-time.

Classes run Monday to Friday, September to June — like a real studio job (but way more fun). If you’re planning to work full-time or take another school program, this won’t fit your schedule. Think of it as your 9-to-5 for chasing that animation dream.

Who will you learn from?
How about artists and creators from Nickelodeon Animation, Bardel Animation, Jam Filled, Disney Animation, Netflix Animation, Sinking Ship Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, Wacom, and more? Plus, we’ve got an Industry Liaisons whose job is to help you land internships, gigs, and industry connections.

CREATE is a grind—in the best way. The more effort you put in, the more skills, connections, and opportunities you’ll walk away with. What you give is what you grow!

You’ll level up fast, but only if you show up and put in the work. The more effort you give, the more skills, connections, and career-ready experience you’ll gain.

Important: If you miss 10 days in a semester (that’s like missing 4 full classes a day), you risk being removed from the program and opportunities. So yeah… don’t book any vacations. This is your time to hustle and build your future!

Since 2015, CREATE has been helping young artists turn passion into profession. You’ll train on industry software, get certified, visit real studios, and build a portfolio.

So, if you’re dreaming in frames and sketching every second of the day, it’s time to CREATE your future. Let’s animate that dream into reality.

Let’s turn your passion into your profession.
CREATE your future.
