NYFA I New York Film Academy

Just taking a moment to admire the New York Film Academy from the outside, dreaming of one day being a part of this incredible place.

Sometimes, dreams feel improbable, Here’s to manifesting the impossible in the city where anything is possible! 🎬✨

They’re game Design degree is useless, I learned more from YouTube videos then they’re worthless teachers.

My daughter Kate was in the summer camp at New York Film Academy Paris. It was expensive but I was most devastated by the final performance. All the students were using absolutely inappropriate language, cursing, and profanities. I am not sure if only the teachers at the Paris location teach this but I can assure you this is not the model in the U.S. and NYC. In America, it is absolutely irresponsible to teach profanities to young students. The boarding in Paris location is absolutely ridiculous. No supervision and students are smoking and even taking drugs. For my deepest regret, this was the place where my daughter was introduced to drugs and this is my biggest regret to send her to NYFA Paris summer camp.

Excellent Professional Conservatory to learn Film, Acting and Musical Theatre. Awesome teachers, wonderful environment. Pic is from one of NYFA's room.

I was a former summer student at the Teen Animation Program and made wonderful friends and had great lectures. The program itself was a great experience

The (limited) number of students that actually care is the only reason this school gets 2 stars. I attended the Masters Cinematography program in Los Angeles, and I am here to tell you that for that program- I can't speak to the others with as much in depth knowledge- the school is a joke, and serves to print money for itself.
I was to attend for two accelerated semesters, and during the first, I found work doing what I was going to school to study and basically checked out mentally. When time came for my second semester, I had done very little for my classes, and went to our instructor to tell him I was leaving. The part that confused me was when he said that I was one of the best students in class, which made me laugh, as I had been working on set for the proceeding two months, hadn't attended class, or screened any projects for the class.
I pointed out these facts to him, went to the bursers office with my story, and within 5 minutes I was holding a check for 40 thousand dollars: a complete refund of my tuition for both the previous semester, and the upcoming semester.
My question is this: if they don't know they are scamming all their pupils, why were they so eager to hand over so much money and bid me farewell? Seems like an admission of guilt, and an effort (which admittedly worked) to prevent me from commenting on my experience.
All you need to do is look at the top 5 most common jobs for degree holders from NYFA. The most common is elementary school teacher. The rate of alumni body working in thier field of study is a jawdropping .008%.
Yea. Not worth it. Do yourself a favor, and watch all the films on AFI 100 greatest films list, then learn how blender and composition work, buy yourself a camera, and make a film.

NYFA is one of the leading schools in singing, acting, dance, film and performing arts in the US. Classes are intense but super helpful, and graduates get a solid preparation for a future on Broadway or in the movie business as actors or director alike. everyone is very helpful and supportive towards each other and right now, it's maybe one of the "Covid safest Schools" in NYC that I'm aware of. the administration is excellent and extremely responsible, making sure that everyone can be/stay safe and healthy while learning. A must school for every artist 👍🏼
