What NISMCAA does
National Inter-School Music Competition & Academic Award
Music and learning, together
NISMCAA brings schools together around two connected activities: a music competition for students and academic awards that recognize educational achievement.
Our mission: Enhancing academic excellence using music as a tool.
Our vision: Impacting academics through music.
In the classroom
Students create and express themselves
Students create, practice, collaborate and express themselves through music, and schools celebrate the effort and achievement that happen in the classroom.
Meet in person or online
Organizers meet in person
Our organizers gather in person so volunteers, sponsors and vendors can all take part.
And online, from any country
Online meetings bring every country team together without travel.
