An announcement from the G-Star School of the Arts for Film, Animation and Performing Arts


The G-Star School of the Arts for Film, Animation and Performing Arts has been ranked in the top academic 1.4% of all high schools in the nation! Each year the Washington Post ranks the best high schools out of 37,000 high schools in the country. In the just-released report, this year G-Star School of the Arts had one of the highest advances in the rankings by jumping past 315 other top ranked schools. In 2011 G-Star was rated in the top 2.9%; in 2012 the school was rated in the top 2.3%; and now in the top 1.4%. Four years ago when Mrs. Kim Collins became Principal she implemented a new educational plan working with each department in the school and the school's administration. In that four year period G-Star achieved full national accreditation from AdvancED, began a new International Baccalaureate World School Programme, and installed a new Digital Media Career Path in 3-D animation and film. Today G-Star is an "A" rated school that graduates 99% of its students with 97% going on to college. This past semester 41% of G-Star students have a 3.5 Grade Point Average or above; and 21% have a 4.0 GPA or above. In addition, the Raindance Film Festival, Europe's largest independent film festival, held in London, UK, named G-Star "The Number One High School for Film in the World". Also during this time, G-Star built the largest motion picture sound stage in Florida where major film stars, celebrities, and corporate productions (NIKE, Rolex, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc.) work with our students as interns on their sets.

Congratulations to Mrs. Collins and her incredible staff. We are proud of your accomplishments!

Letter From A G-Star Success Story
Mr. Hauptner,

I wanted to thank you again for everything you've done for me. I currently work at Blue Sky Studios near NYC as a stereoscopic technical director and compositor working on Epic. I would like to thank you for all your support and quite honestly I wouldn't be where I am without G-Star and the amazing education I got there. I learned many things there, but most of all I learned not to stray from what you want to do in life and to never settle on any less then what you want in life. After graduating I remember looking for jobs in film and then deciding to take the leap and go to LA. G-Star made that possible and provided me with the education to get me started. In the 4 short years I've been working in the industry I have found that there are many film schools that claim to teach you what you need to know to make it, but at the cost of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. I have found that most of these people will never pay that off. G-Star saved me from that. I have no student loans and have a resume with over 5 feature films and 3 major studios on it. Thank you for providing me with this. I remember you making the call to Ron Martin and recommending me for the job at Digital Domain. You are personally responsible for my initial break in to the VFX industry. I consider what I accomplished at DD a great success. Due to the environment that was provided at G-Star where equipment was available and teachers encourage personal growth I learned very quickly and moved up at DD. At DD as you know I accumulated a number of box office releases ranging from Transformers to Prometheus. After the collapse of DD that day in Port St. Lucie I didn't go home. I went to G-Star because I feel comfortable and I know I have my roots there. My G-Star family. You have looked out for me. You have recommended me. And you have made me successful. I now work at Blue Sky making over 100k a year and on my way to a full time staff position and thanks to G-Star I have an education in the film industry and no student loans. You have provided me with a future that I know many people wish they could have and I thank you for it.

If there is ever anything I can do to help you or the school please let me know. I will do whatever I can in my power to contribute and give back what has been so generously given to me.

Sincerely,
Alex Hatfield
