We are proud to announce that Media City Academy is partnering with Rocking the Future, a dynamic platform connecting schools with the world of work through immersive activations and content.

Recently, MCA was invited to engage with learners at Crawford Bedfordview, Curro Rivonia and Alexandra High School during their Career Days. We were encouraged by the curiosity, energy and questions from students, many of whom are exploring future paths beyond the traditional routes.

Media City Academy continues to capture attention across South Africa’s creative and education industries. From press features to thought-leadership articles, our story — as the first on-set creative academy based within a fully operational production studio — is inspiring conversations about the future of learning and film in the country. Here’s a look at what the media has been saying about us.

Our Spring Open Day was filled with energy, curiosity and creative spirit. Attendees explored our working studio complex, met the MCA team, and got a taste of the hands-on experience that sets us apart. Experience the highlights of Media City Academy’s Spring Open Day —

Matric finals are in full swing, and across the country, living rooms are turning into planning boards for the future. Parents and learners alike are wrestling with one pivotal question: What comes next?

A groundbreaking new tertiary institution for the creative industries – which will combine accredited qualifications with industry experience – is set to launch next year.
