School video families remember.
The film a family watches before they tour decides whether they tour. We make admissions films, founding-story films, student documentaries, and program spotlights for schools, with crews in 13 states and a Best of Georgia 2023 award for videography.
How we run it.
Built around the questions families ask
Every film starts with what a parent wants to know before they visit: who teaches here, what a normal day looks like, and what happens to students after they leave.
Students and teachers, not actors
Real classrooms and real voices. A prospective family can tell the difference, and a staged version costs the school the trust it was trying to build.
One shoot, every cut
The long film for the website, a short version for the open house, and vertical cuts for the feed and the ads, all planned before the camera rolls.
Planned around the school day
Shoot schedules built with the front office, so filming fits between bells, assemblies, and testing weeks instead of fighting them.
Films every school needs.
Admissions and overview films
The film a family watches before they book a tour. What the school is, who it is for, and what a day inside looks like.
Ours: ACCA Overview
Founding story films
Why the school exists, told by the people who built it. The film that anchors the website and the capital campaign.
Ours: St. Benedict's Founding Story
Student documentaries
One student, followed through their school experience. The most persuasive thing a prospective family can watch.
Ours: Hailey and Olivia, a student docuseries
Program spotlights
STEAM labs, career pathways, and the programs that set the school apart, shown working instead of described.
Ours: St. Benedict's STEAM, ACCA in Action
Events and milestones
Decision Day, graduation, and teacher appreciation. Content that keeps current families proud and gives the feed something real.
Ours: Decision Day, 2023 Graduation
Fundraising and grants
Capital-campaign and grant films that show a funder exactly where the money goes.

Straight answers.
What types of videos should a school have?
Most schools get the most from four: an admissions or overview film for the website and tours, a founding-story or brand film, student stories or a short docuseries, and program spotlights for the offerings that set the school apart. Event films for decision day and graduation keep current families engaged and feed social media.
How much does school video production cost?
High Arc Media scopes school video on a call, because the price depends on how many films you need, how many shoot days they take, and how many cuts each one needs. Planning several films around one set of shoot days usually costs less per film than booking them one at a time.
How long does a school video shoot take?
It depends on the film. A program spotlight can often be captured in a single shoot day. A founding-story film or a student docuseries takes longer, because it is built around interviews and has to follow real moments in the school year.
Do you film students on camera?
Yes, in every kind of school film, working from the school's own media release process. We confirm with the school which students are cleared to appear before the shoot day.
Do you deliver versions for social media?
Yes. Vertical cuts for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts are planned at the same time as the main film, so the feed and the ads get content from the same shoot.
Do you travel for school video shoots?
Yes. High Arc Media is headquartered in Atlanta with crews in 13 states and teams in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
