The Rookies Picks The Best Creative Schools

The Rookies presented the top schools as calculated based on over 1,800 student submissions of portfolios from over 500 international schools in 77 countries. The ratings are based on the quality of content submitted to The Rookies’ judging panel by students, not the grades provided by staff and facilities. The data, however, doesn’t features factors like facilities, staff, and curriculum.

Students are judged on their overall presentation, technical skills, creative skills, industry skills, variety of content, and how suitable their skills would translate into the real world or production by the panel of judges.

So, here are the best schools you can find:
