There is absolutely no single model for excellence on the list of top animation schools. Some are regions of arts and design schools, including: CalArts, Ringling College of Art and Design, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Rhode Island School of Art and Design, École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Royal College of Art (UK) and RMIT (Australia). Some are departments inside a larger general university, for example University of Southern California, Sheridan College, Bournemouth University along with the University of Teeside. Some are portion of film schools, such as Vancouver Film School plus the National Film and Television School (UK). Some are animation focused schools, like Gobelins L'Ecole de L'Image and Supinfocom, in the France, both non-degree granting, yet rated on the list of top three animation programs on the planet.

In Asia, the highest animation schools are in Korea and japan. Some follow the Japanese anime style. They teach in Japanese or Korean, and thus less accessible to international students unless they're willing to learn Japanese or Korean. You will discover reportedly as much as 1,000 schools in China offering animation related programs even so the quality is uneven. Some top schools with CG related programs have Asia campuses, such as SCAD in Hong Kong and Digipen (game focused) in Singapore.

In Asia, a premier animation school which teaches in English is ArtFusion Media School, formerly called Egg Story Digital Arts School, based in Singapore. ArtFusion posseses an international faculty with proven industry experience from America, Europe and Australia.
