The Flexible Pathways program for diploma students at SIS (soon to be re-branded simply as the “International A-Level” program), has recently been augmented by the addition of the school’s newest academy, SIMA – The Sotogrande International Music Academy.<\/p>\n
SIMA offers its own music education and development services in partnership with one of the world’s leading contemporary music schools, Berklee College of Music of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Berklee course diplomas and certificates are valid all around the world and are happily accepted by all UK universities as well.<\/p>\n
Students with a particular interest in music and\/or music business can enroll in SIMA’s Flexible Pathways program in music, and can choose from over 100 different online certificate and degree courses as well as a dozen hands-on music art and business development sessions on location at SIS or at the recording studio at SRC.<\/p>\n

The SIMA Flexible Pathways music program for SIS diploma students consists of three complementary educational inputs:<\/p>\n
The three sets of courses will, over a two year period, prepare the student for a productive future not just academically but also artistically and professionally.<\/p>\n
The SIMA Flexible Pathways program allows the student to mix and match a wide variety of courses to best suit his or her vision of the future. Have a look at the course overview below.<\/p>\n

Students embarking on the Diploma route in their final two years at SIS must decide whether to do IB, HSD or A-Levels in order to best prepare for further university-level education or for a professional career.<\/p>\n
The SIMA Flexible Pathways Music Program, also referred to as the “International A-Levels Program” allows the student to choose standard curriculum courses best suited to the student’s interests and temperament.<\/p>\n

It’s possible to take up to three Berklee Online courses simultaneously during each trimester.<\/p>\n Each 12-week course is taught entirely online and involves one-on-one instruction with Berklee professors as well as online group interaction and flexible self-study time. Additionally, SIMA staff are available at all times to help the student whenever required.<\/p>\n Each completed course is worth three US undergraduate college credits (which can translate to between 30 and 120 UCAS points in the UK, depending on the course and target university). The course credits can also be used if the student wishes to pursue a degree program with Berklee Online or at the Berklee College of Music campus in Boston, Massachusetts, US (a fantastic option for any serious music student).<\/p>\n Course costs:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”sima” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n SIMA not only helps to coordinate the Berklee courses and SIS A-level programs for our students, but we also offer specialist courses of our own, of the highest quality.
