SOA – Powering the Future of Digital Creators
Founded by Faisal Khawaja | Est. 1993
It started with a spark...
In 1993, I founded the School of Animation (SOA) to meet a growing need — the demand for next-generation talent in a world being transformed by visual technology and digital experiences.
What began as a mission to teach 3D animation has now evolved into a future-forward ecosystem that shapes the very edge of immersive technology.
Today, we train minds for tomorrow’s frontiers
Our focus is no longer just animation — it’s on the tech shaping the 21st century:
- AI and Simulation Systems
- NLP and Cognitive Interfaces
- Metaverse & Multiplayer Game Engines
- Advanced Character and Environment Design
- IoT Integration & Real-World Interfacing
- C++ and Python for Game + Hardware Integration
- Hardware Testing, Prototyping, and Immersive Playgrounds
We don’t just teach tech — we co-create it.
Real Innovation. Real Impact.
- Joint R&D with Top Institutes — We partner with leading universities and labs to stay ahead of the curve.
- Tech-Driven Curriculum — Constantly evolving, always aligned with global trends.
- Project-Based Learning — Students build, test, and launch real-world solutions from day one.
- Industry-Proven Alumni — Our graduates lead in studios, startups, and simulation labs worldwide.
Why SOA?
Because at SOA, you don’t just learn the future —
you become it.
