Mission and Vision
Asian Hope International School is dedicated to
provide a high quality, child-centred education, in a safe and pleasant
environment, ensuring that every child feels worthy and appreciated.
Asian Hope International School is a bi-lingual
school for Cambodian children. Our classes are taught in English and
Khmer by native speakers, helping the children to appreciate and retain
their own culture, while being prepared to take their place in the
global world.
Teaching is done from a Christian world view
but always in a very open and unpressured atmosphere, recognizing that
the children come from different religious backgrounds.
Curriculum
Asian Hope International School curriculum is based
on the English National Curriculum and linked to the Cambodian National
Curriculum through an integrated topic/theme approach.

Children must be three years of age by August this

by August this current school year to be eligible for Kindergarten 3
and six years of age by August this current school year to be eligible
for first grade. Every attempt will be made to place the child
in the grade they are applying for. However, if through assessment tests
or other evidence, it is determined that the child may not be
adequately prepared in school work or behaviour for the next sequential
grade level, it may be necessary that the student repeat the previous
grade.
