The best way to learn anything - more useful and cheaper than any school - is to apprentice and learn on an actual job by helping a professional. This is practical real-life experience and knowledge, rather than expensive theoretical school lessons.

You pick up a lot of knowledge and skill just by tracing the work of experienced pros and they are right there to answer any questions and to keep you focused on the why as well as the how of the techniques.

All the classic animators learned this way. We should bring back the apprentice system.
