Course 1

Official Khmer curriculum from the MoEYS is followed for the Khmer classes.

Students will study the following units in English: Reading and Writing Skills, Maths, Science, History and Humanities. They will also be introduced to the essential study skills and learning tools they need to ensure their educational success. They will be encouraged to be independent learners who engage fully in, and take responsibility for, their own learning. They will be introduced to research and critical thinking skills and will be encouraged to be open-minded and social responsible thinkers.

Collaboration and communication with their teachers and peers will create a dynamic and interactive classroom where they will be able to build on their individual strengths and weaknesses. Students will be given continuing assistance to ensure educational and personal growth through high school and beyond.

The students study Khmer, Khmer maths, English, English maths and Thinking skills. With engaging textbooks and enthusiastic teachers learning is fun. Each child is treated as an individual and we believe that each aspect of their education is equally important. Each child's particular skills are paid attention to and there is the opportunity for extra, more challenging work for gifted children or one on one classes for those progressing more slowly. Every child feels involved and confident in this creative and interactive environment.

Kindergarten 1 aims to introduce children to the classroom. The focus on these classes is routine, vocabulary and motor skills. We aim to make a child's first impression of school a positive one. Children are taught in small classes, in English, through games, songs and play.

Kindergarten 2 is a natural progression in the child's early development. Writing skills are advanced along with broadening vocabulary and number skills. Similarly to K1, routine and motor skills are considered very important. Children are taught in small classes, in English. We continue to emphasise that learning is fun, with the inclusion of songs, dance and language games.

Kindergarten 3 is a very important year for young children, they develop exceptionally fast and are preparing to enter primary school. The focus of K3 is to expand children's English skills in all area's: reading, writing, listening and especially speaking. We aim to improve on numeracy, beginning with basic math. At this stage we also begin to introduce Khmer studies in preparation for the Primary 1 national Khmer curriculum.
