School of Rock, the global leader in performance-based music education and part of Youth Enrichment Brands, has reached a major milestone by opening its 100th international franchise location. The new school in Chamisero, Chile, highlights the brand’s rapid global expansion and the strength of its scalable, adaptable franchise model.
With 103 international schools now operating across 16 countries, School of Rock continues to thrive worldwide—from Santiago to Sydney, Dublin to São Paulo—empowering young musicians and building local communities through music education.
“Reaching 100 international locations is a powerful testament to the scalability of our model,” said Stacey Ryan, President of School of Rock. “Our system connects cultures and communities through the shared belief in music’s transformative power.”
The Chamisero school, owned by Felipe León, operates under the Latin American regional network led by master franchisee Matías Puga-Hamilton, who oversees the brand in 10 countries, including the U.K.
School of Rock’s recent international momentum includes its first school in Uruguay, an upcoming launch in London, and a 35-unit franchise deal in Germany. The company expects to operate 446 total schools by the end of 2025, including 114 international locations.
“Our franchise model empowers local owners to make a real impact,” said Rob Price, CEO of Youth Enrichment Brands. “There’s endless potential for global growth.”
