Learning Khmer
ENGLISH English Language skills are an essential foundation for success in life. We teach students to speak, read and write English fluently and accurately in a short space of time using our renowned Phonics program. Speaking and listening skills are taught to help students express themselves clearly and confidently.
MATHEMATICS Mathematics is a creative and highly interconnected discipline that provides a foundation for understanding the world. Students are encouraged to discuss, solve and try out challenges for themselves. Through practical, mental and investigative work we aim to develop mathematical skills that stay with the students for life.
