As part of the Cork International Choral Festival education programme, a series of concerts are held every year by visiting choirs in schools in Cork City and County. This unique opportunity allows students to experience some of the highlights of the Choral Festival by bringing world-class international choirs into the classroom.

The 2008 host schools included Clonakilty Community College, Davis College, Mallow, Glanmire Community College, and Carrignafoy Communiity College, Cobh.
