Musica Mundi School

The school is founded on values of excellence, perseverance, dedication, social equality, and friendship. It aims to develop the musical and human potential of gifted young people from diverse cultural backgrounds, fostering a community that serves as a vehicle for peace, harmony, and reconciliation.

The musical curriculum includes two hours of weekly individual lessons on a main instrument, supervised daily practice, chamber music, choir training, conducting, and music theory (including harmony, ear training, and music history). Students also complete Cambridge IGCSE and A Level Music exams, and in their final year, they undertake an 8-month research project and a full recital for the Musica Mundi School Diploma. Masterclasses with internationally renowned guest artists are held throughout the year.

Graduates of the school have gone on to attend prestigious international institutions, including The Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, The Royal College of Music, the Barenboim Academy, and various European conservatories. Students are encouraged to use their musical education to make positive contributions to the world as artists and human beings.

Admission is based on a student's musical talent and human potential. The process involves submitting an application dossier followed by an audition, which can be scheduled throughout the year or on the official annual date. The school maintains a scholarship system to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent talented students from attending.

The academic year is punctuated by five official school concerts, typically held in October, December, February, April, and June. These events include solo performances, chamber music, and end-of-year graduation ceremonies. Additional private events and performances occur throughout the year both on and off campus.

Located in the historic Fichermont Monastery, the campus features the Bach Concert Hall, which accommodates up to 470 people. Facilities include multifunctional classrooms equipped with Steinway pianos, screens, and projectors, as well as a science laboratory, soundproof studios, and a dedicated music library with Sibelius composition software. The grounds include gardens, sports areas, and space for animals, providing a peaceful environment for study and residence.
