    “A veteran visual effects supervisor + a teaching desire = Mark Bénard -- it’s not an over-statement but this is what Mark really is. As a student under his supervision at VFS, I learned many things about visual effects. In just 6 months I learned more than in last 3 years of working in the motion graphics industry. Mark’s years of industry experience is valuable and priceless, his in-depth knowledge and care of details has prepared me well for pursuing a career and also helped me to land the job here.”

    Lost Boys Learning is a unique experience in every way.

    Students find themselves in a culturally rich and diverse group of people in one of the most naturally beautiful places in the world, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. We differ from traditional educational institutions with our hands-on, project based curriculum and studio-like classroom environment, with lots of “in the field” excursions. The small class size nurtures a strong learning relationship between students and mentor, and often results in a close knit group of friends who develop team work skills while recognizing and supporting each others strengths. Outside of the classroom, students often spend time together socially, getting together for movie screenings to kayaking to potluck dinners.

    We invite you to explore all we have to offer, view our Photo Galleries, and visit our Alumni section to learn more about past students.
