Our school system was built for a world that no longer exists. The model does not fit, yet it remains unchanged. It doesn’t have to be this way.

“Before Future Island, no one cared about our students. Today, they’re shaping some of the most exciting projects in our community.”

Education, as we know it, is hundreds of years old. It’s outdated, broken, and leaves too many behind. Future Island is different. We built a home for those who have been told they don’t fit in. For the misunderstood. The overlooked. The underestimated.

Here, they find belonging. They find motivation. They find the knowledge and tools to turn their dreams into reality.

Future Island is not built on what is old and outdated — but on the people who understand the future. With a focus on AI, 3D, and technology, our mission is not only to save lives and give people a chance, but also to secure the future of Norway.

Because if these talents have no place to grow, the cost will be far greater than we can imagine. It’s not the football stars who build the future. It’s the undiscovered geniuses nobody believed in.

Why we do it

In 2024, 722 people in Norway ended their lives. And 6,000 tried

Future Island was born without money, without students, without government support. Would you have taken that risk? Probably not.

We did. Because we care.

We did. Because we care.

Future Island was created as a safe haven for those who don’t fit into the traditional mold. For people who have been misunderstood, overlooked, or told they would never succeed. Here, they are not just accepted — they are empowered.

We believe that Norway’s future doesn’t rest in the hands of star athletes or celebrities. It rests in the hands of the hidden geniuses, the creators, the thinkers, and the dreamers who were never given a chance.

By combining cutting-edge education with real-world projects, Future Island helps students rediscover their value, their passion, and their place in the world.

At Future Island, our students don’t just use Unreal Engine — they master it. With direct support from Epic Games and Myreze, we’ve created a one-of-a-kind environment where students learn the full pipeline: from first concept sketches to finished, real-world productions.

By working on real projects in broadcast, aerospace, gaming, and local community initiatives, our students graduate with more than just knowledge. They graduate with portfolios, experience, and connections that open doors across industries.

"Unreal isn’t just a tool. It’s the language of the future, and Future Island speaks it fluently.”
