Elementary school
Use the school’s actual grade span, including kindergarten where offered. Younger learners need age-appropriate tasks, supervision and performance expectations.
NISMCAA · UNITED STATESYour talent.
Your talent.
Your voice.
Your future.
Music, learning and shared opportunity for US school communities. A new chapter in NISMCAA’s mission to enhance academic excellence using music as a tool.
PROPOSED Fall 2027 · UNITED STATESOUR STORY · OUR PURPOSE
Big dreams. New horizons.
Established in Nigeria in 2009, NISMCAA celebrates music and educational achievement. The proposed US project builds on that mission through creativity, belonging and shared learning.
Middle school
Record the student’s current grade. Grade spans differ between schools and districts; the school’s own designation guides participation planning.
High school
Use the current grade, such as Grade 9–12, rather than Nigerian class labels. Academic evidence should identify the student’s course and contribution.
More ways to shine.
Music and academic recognition offer different paths for celebrating student effort.
Music & performance
School choirs, ensembles and individual students create, practice and develop their musical voices.
Explore the music pilotAcademic achievement
Initial subjects: Mathematics, English, Music, and Science & Technology. Grade-appropriate criteria will guide the US pilot.
Explore academic recognitionEvery learner. Every ability.
Children with special needs are included in our plans for both music and academic awards. Schools and families can discuss access, communication, sensory, learning and performance support before participation.
Describe practical support needs privately with an authorized adult. Please do not send diagnoses, medical records, IEPs or other confidential student records by email. Arrangements and any adapted assessments must be agreed before the event.
