IB DP Music

On-Site School Programme

We offer the On-Site School Programme to schools, providing a comprehensive and flexible approach to IB DP Music.

 

Our bespoke On-Site School Programme enables schools to enhance students’ learning through various modules and teaching methods. As facilitators, we prepare students for the syllabus components of the IB DP Music curriculum — Exploring Music in Context, Experimenting with Music, Presenting Music and The Contemporary Music Maker — offering schools and students a valuable alternative to continue and deepen their IB DP Music studies.

Applications for the 2025–2027 Programme are now open and will close on Friday, 3 October 2025.

 

We warmly welcome prospective Year 10 students planning to take the GCSE Music or IGCSE Music Examination before IB DP Music commences. Additionally, prospective Year 12 and Year 13 students (Grades 11 and 12 / Secondary 5 and 6) are encouraged to discuss module options with their school music teachers. Students interested in applying can complete the application form and submit it via mail or email by Friday, 3 October 2025.
