I'll put in my vote for avoiding the 'trade' schools, and going with an undergraduate degree in something that interests you (including film, should you prefer).
Depending on your goals, there are a lot of folks who study film at the graduate level rather than undergrad. This is one approach, no more valid than any other though.
So are the 'trade' schools, but perhaps not for everyone. There are dozens of resources for researching schools online, keep looking, ask people who've attended. As a graduate of an "Art Institutes International" program (pretty much right out high school) as well as a graduate of San Francisco State (many years later, BA in Film), I can tell you I wish I had not spent all that money/student loan debt on the AII program. Too much money for what was essentially highly specialized equipment training with little background fundamentals. Others will disagree and say that 4 year college is a waste of time, blah, blah blah.
My opinion: 4 year college. All the way, major in anything. History, communications, film studies, whatever. Study things that interest you, enjoy your time in college (not too much though) and that will help to refine your goals in film and in life. I'm a big believer in a college education. Even if you decide you want to be in a technical department (say a gaffer rather than directing/writing/producing) I think there's value in a 4 year degree. Heck, if you wanted to be a gaffer study electricity, phyiscs (light), and engineering (grip-o-nomics) and have a huge head start on the theoretical aspects of that department's craft.
Last bit of advice:
Beware of links or information posted by folks with a recent join date and a post count of 1. (see post that precedes this one) They are often (not always) pimping a product of theirs in some fashion. Apologies to liptrick if this is not the case, or in fact, if you happen to be hawking a very useful site. Just letting the OP know the territory.
