🤩 A New Chapter: Onyx Partners with I-PATH 🤩
Onyx School of Performing Arts is now a proud member of I-PATH (International Performing Arts & Theatre), a renowned exam board that offers children and young people worldwide the opportunity to achieve graded qualifications in all performing arts disciplines.
I-PATH collaborates with leading choreographers and performers to develop exceptional syllabuses and programmes. As a member studio, our students now have exclusive access to these exciting opportunities. We can align with I-PATH’s syllabus and offer their exams, giving our performers a pathway to recognition, growth, and success.
One of the standout benefits? Grades 6, 7, and 8 carry UCAS points, supporting your child’s future educational journey. Prefer a non-exam option? I-PATH also offers Achievement Awards, celebrating progress and learning in a fun, supportive format.
We can’t wait to begin this exciting new chapter with I-PATH and see our students shine!
