About the Post-High Create Animation Program

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.

Portfolio Requirements:
