School of Rock, a leading music education brand, to launch in the UK

School of Rock, the renowned music education brand, is set to expand its international reach with a new master franchise agreement for the United Kingdom. Matias Puga-Hamilton, who successfully led the brand’s growth in Latin America, will spearhead this new venture. Puga-Hamilton, inspired by the transformation he witnessed in his daughters as School of Rock students, is eager to bring this concept to his home country of Chile.

Under Puga-Hamilton’s leadership, School of Rock plans to open 30 new schools across the UK over the next 11 years, adding to its established presence in countries like Chile, Mexico, and Colombia. The first UK location is set to open in London in early 2025, expanding the brand’s European footprint.

Anthony Padulo, School of Rock’s Chief Development Officer, emphasized the importance of international expansion for the brand. With over 330 franchises worldwide and a 25% growth rate over the past three years, School of Rock is a leading music school franchise. Offering lessons in guitar, singing, and piano, as well as musical instruments through its GearSelect program, the brand provides a unique and immersive musical experience for students.

With its recent ranking on the Franchise 500 List and a commitment to continued growth and innovation, School of Rock is poised to make a significant impact in the UK and beyond. As the brand continues to inspire and empower aspiring musicians, the future looks bright for School of Rock and its global community of students and franchisees.
