School of Rock is the original performance-based, interactive music school founded in 1998 in Philadelphia. With over 400 schools, and a strong internationally recognized brand, School of Rock is the largest after-school music education provider. Our mission is to help kids rock their worlds.

The School of Rock Summer Camps Instructors will help create a warm, supportive and inspiring environment for young musicians. This position is ideal for school music teachers who are off during the summer. Familiarity with Rock and Roll music and instruments is a must. School of Rock's summer camp program encourages young children to reach their developmental milestones through fun musical activities and playing rock and roll musical instruments. We offer 5 week-long camps spread out over the summer. Three of the camps are full day (9a-3p) and two are half day (12p-3p). All of the camps run Monday through Friday, and end with a live show on Friday afternoon, showcasing what the campers learned through the week.

In support of that goal, the Instructor is responsible for all music and education-related elements within the camps. The Instructor creates a dynamic camp experience to ensure their students are challenged and inspired. The Instructor embodies rock and roll in a positive way and is responsible for creating a valuable student learning experience.
