The John Hughes Institute is composed of a group of artists, technologists, and educators, headed by VFX-pioneer John Hughes, offering the best practices in the art + science of entertainment.

We focus on custom-made curricula for colleges and universities, as well as L&D training programs for DCC houses. We feature Advanced Specialization Programs (ASP) in computer animation, visual effects (VFX), and digital narrative, through hybrid environments of physical - and virtual - classrooms. We also work with animation and VFX studios to help design and implement education/training programs (and systems) for on-boarding and cross-training.

In addition, through our educational consulting department JHI Pathways, we mentor students in their unique paths towards higher education and careers (offering services for both students who work with the JHI, as well as students anywhere in the world regardless of areas of interest). Our goal is to instill within students the  skills and confidence needed to make them competitive enough for the admissions process (rather than guarantee admission to a particular school).
