It's time to reclaim a real-world childhood in the digital age!

In an increasingly digital world full of screen-time, AI, and social media, a real-world childhood doesn't just happen anymore; it takes intention. Our goal is to give kids a safe, offline space where they can show up in person, build confidence, and connect with a real community.

School of Rock has teamed up with Youth Enrichment Brands and our sister brands, SafeSplash Swim School, i9 Sports, and US Sports Camps - NIKE Sports Camps, for the Generation Real Project. This initiative was created and designed by Youth Enrichment Brands CEO Rob Price with child development experts Erica Komisar and Jennifer B. Wallace to combat the dual epidemics of digital distress and toxic achievement culture.

Want to learn how you can help your child thrive offline? Check out the article below to learn more about the Generation Real Project. Also included is part one of the Generation Real Playbook, a practical guide for families with actionable items. The new Essential Reading List for parents includes recommendations by Rob, Erica, and Jennifer that can help families no matter the challenge.

We've all had dreams of being a rockstar, playing big stages to crowds of fans. School of Rock makes those dreams a reality 🌟

At School of Rock, we always say we're more than a music school - because we are. Outside of the benefits to mental health, confidence, social skills, and more that students at School of Rock experience, one thing that sets us apart is that our schools take students on real tours.

Real concerts at real venues, with schools planning tours around the country. The ultimate goal? The School of Rock AllStars program. Every summer, the top 1% of all students from around the world hit the road for an authentic ten-day, multi-city nationwide tour. Your child could experience performing night after night at iconic venues and world-class recording studios while building incredible confidence, endurance, and lifelong friendships with bandmates from around the globe.

Check out what the AllStars tour is all about and how you can begin your child's journey to the stage today.

As the new school year kicks off, you’re probably looking for activities that do more than just fill after-school hours. At School of Rock, students of all ages learn real songs, perform together as a group, and grow into confident, well-rounded versions of their true selves. 🤘

Performance-based education means weekly private music lessons and group rehearsals lead to real, live rock concerts for family and friends!

Give your child an after-school activity where they can be louder, bolder, and more themselves than ever before.
