Now exporting our finest portfolios to Canada, zero tariffs.
Starting in Fall 2025, we’re accepting students from all across Canada into our online cohorts. Feeling left out in the cold after the closure of Miami Ad School Toronto? Scroll on to see why going to ad school online in the U.S. is better than any option you’ve had before.
No pants, no shoes, no visa.
Our online program is fully virtually and doesn’t require any travel to the US, so that means you don’t need a visa and we don’t need to deal with piles of paperwork — now that’s a win-win. You get to stay in your wonderful country all cozied up wearing god-knows-what from the waist down while you zoom in every day to your classes and meetings. Because honestly, would you really be super stoked to come live in the U.S. right now? Hey, which reminds us — if things get even worse down here can we come stay with you for a while?
Live every night, all across North America.
We share languages, borders, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Pamela Anderson, and on and on, but most importantly — time zones. That means you can Zoom in and take the exact same classes live with all of our other online students across the US.
Get the attenion of the best agencies in Canada.
We pack a lot into our intensive 16-month program to mold you into the most prepared, knowledgeable, and skilled junior creative an ad agency has ever seen. Which is to say, we’ll help you stand out and be a hell of a lot more hireable than you are right now.

Instant apps, instant gratification.
What do you think we do all day, sit around and review applications? Actually… kinda? Because we do rolling admission, we review all apps as they come in. So for you, that means the instant you apply your app goes straight to the people who actually run this joint, which then also means you don’t spend months waiting around to hear back if you got accepted or not. And because we offer the same fully-comprehensive 5 quarter programs both online and in-person, you can stop delaying your creative journey and start whenever it’s most convenient for you.
How does DAD stack up
against the rest?
If you’ve researched portfolio schools, then you know – they’re expensive as hell and all basically seem the same. Well, until we came along and started shakin’ things up, of course. With our consistently killer portfolios quarter-after-quarter and big agency job placements, why exactly would you go to the other schools to pay more and get less? Find out below…
Everybody here gives a shit.
At our core, everyone here shares one thing — we all do this because we really care about it. Remember your classes in college and how over half the class didn’t want to be there including the professor? Yeah, this ain’t that. Smash that button below to find out why everybody at DAD, starting with the founders, have your back.
Imagine actually feeling,
like, prepared to work in an agency.
Feeling like you’re not ready for the big agency pace? Hey, join the club. We all felt like that until we got our shit together. And for advertising creative students, portfolio schools are where you get your shit together. Ask our former students and they’ll tell you that after you make it through DAD, working in a big ad agency is no big deal. Our entire program is structured to feel like an agency so you’ll get what feels like an entire year’s worth of on-the-job training before you even show up to your first day of work. The fact that you know you’re not ready to work in a big agency just shows that you are ready to take your skills to the next level, so let’s get you to that next level.
