"A license doesn't earn a living, but an education does." - James Federico, Founder

The Federico "playground":

...A specialized facility that promotes the creative play, exploration, discovery, learning, and defining

...Simplistically raw classroom and workshop environments, providing a blank canvas for students to paint their own picture

...Promotion of individual creative expression

We encourage play, but within an established framework. With guidelines, processes and procedures in place, you are free to focus on your creative talents and artistic expression.

Experience tells us we need to provide more than a playground as a creative outlet and technical skills. With the world-renowned Pivot Point International method, we add a curriculum designed for you to learn the 'why,' not just the 'how' so they can start to think, see and create like a professional.

With Pivot Point, students progress through a modular education system that helps the learning process. Studying each subject step-by-step with learning aids such as videos, computers, DVD, and guest presenters, we provide the ins-and-outs of everything we teach. We provide the tools for you to become confident and successful professionals.
