Max the Mutt was founded by artists and professionals. Our mandate has always been a commitment to teach the skills we value to coming generations. We care about every student. We are a small community where every person matters:  we know what it takes to develop your talent – because we’ve been there.

There is a difference between attending Max the Mutt, with small class size and constant access to individual assistance, and institutions where classes often have 25 to 30 people in a group,  and even the best instructors simply don’t have the time to get around to everyone!

Maximizing your education takes discipline and passion. You, as a student, have to be present, committed, and willing to do the hard work. You need to buy in to our emphasis on professionalism and focus and train yourself to organize your work, meet deadlines, deal professionally with problems, including asking for help when you need it. You need the desire and the grit to stick with it, and to keep faith in your ability to grow and develop.

For our part, we offer a comprehensive, well thought out, developmental curriculum. We are in constant touch with the industries we serve, updating course content to reflect changing times. At the same time, we have never stopped teaching the traditional art skills that are so necessary to excel in the intelligent use of computer programs.

Our goal is not just to prepare you for your first job, but to give you the knowledge, skills and professionalism to develop a long and successful career.
