Our Mission

Our mission is to equip students with the skills, experience, and certifications to be in the business of technology. When our students leave the Digital Media Academy, they will be ready for various careers and opportunities in the area of technology.

What Are We

Charles W. Flanagan’s Digital Media Academy is a group of our school’s top innovative students who have an interest in the world of technology and digital media arts. We emphasize creativity, professionalism, and excellence as we strive to be the future innovators of tomorrow. The overall goal is for students to design/create enhanced digital creations beyond a simple photograph, bland website or text based composition. By doing so, students become proficient with Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, and more. Students learn to study existing layouts and design in print and digital media to learn the concepts of contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity.

Why You Should be Certified

Certification is the validation of your knowledge and can affect your career opportunities. In this digital age, people who stay ahead of the technology curve increase their marketability and have a competitive edge. Certifications are based on global standards designed to verify your understanding of technology and your readiness to meet and overcome challenges. Students in the Digital Media Academy have many opportunities to earn various industry certifications. All certification exams are offered free of charge to students enrolled in Digital Media Academy courses.

DESIGNING FOR
SOCIAL IMPACT

Digital Media permeates many aspects of our everyday lives, even if we may not actually be aware of it. Most people might think digital media just refers to websites, but it is in fact a whole lot more than just that. Nearly every product around us has been involved in some element of digital development at some point. Anything that involves the use of web design, digital imaging, or 3D modelling relies on digital media.
