If you're in California, gnomon school of visual effects will be his best option. https://www.gnomon.edu/
There are quite a few quality online schools that will cost considerably less. CGMA, Gnomon Online, Think Tank Training Centre are a few of the better ones. Tell your son to make an account here and start getting engaged in the community. It's essential in my opinion.
I'm fairly certain Gnomon has portfolio reviews in order to attend their physical school so take that into consideration.
As an aside, in this field of work a degree is meaningless and any school that says "look at our employment rates!" should be a warning sign. It all comes down to how hard your son works and if the portfolio meets the quality level of currently employed junior artists, at a minimum. Most kids exit these schools and aren't hireable for a few more years (not firsthand experience but noted many times around forums)
