The Choirs Schools' Association - Choir Schools Association (CSA) (original) (raw)
The Choir Schools’ Association exists to promote and support the education and wellbeing of choristers – the young people at the heart of the UK’s world-class choral tradition.
We have three main roles:
- We are a Membership Association for schools, cathedrals and churches who wish to support the young people in their choirs through networking, support and sharing best practice
- We are a Grant Making organisation providing bursaries to families to assist with school fees and supporting our members with initiatives to enhance their choristers’ experience
- We are an Information Hub for families wishing to find out more about becoming a chorister, for the media, for government and for partner organisations working in the worlds of choral music and education

Supporting Choristerships with the CSA Bursary Trust
Through our Bursary Trust, which is supported by the Department for Education’s Music and Dance Scheme, we are able to provide means-tested support to choristers attending our member schools. The aim of the Bursary Trust is to help make a choir school education open to all, regardless of financial situation.
