The Toronto Film School Difference

This is a school that believes in doing.

 

Here, we incubate careers. We make lasting industry connections. We hone skills, grow talent, and push education beyond the classroom. At Toronto Film School, you’ll learn by doing. And you’ll learn hard and fast. 

 

That’s because we want our students to succeed in the real world. This is our mission. It’s at the heart of everything we do. 

 

It’s the reason we built the studio campus in downtown Toronto. 

 

It’s why we recruited industry heavyweights like Andrew Barnsley to lead us.

 

It’s what keeps our curriculums up-to-date, our networks vast, and our approach pragmatic.

 

The real-world success of our students is our difference.
