About the school

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

The Australian Cambodia Education Academy (AusCam Academy) is committed to providing the very best education for students from Early Years to Year 12, aged 3 – 18 years old.

Our Motto: “Nurturing Global Citizens”

Vision: To enrich Cambodia and the global community socially and economically through the cultivation of global citizens with well-balanced and innovative education.

Mission: To enable students to acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities with a global perspective through a fun, dynamic and supportive education process.

Teaching approach of the school

In the Early Years, our Montessori approach encourages young children to learn better through the questioning, exploring, and discovering process. From Pre-Primary to Secondary School, students are with unique programs, which is a blended Cambodian and Australian curriculum.

Students will be taught and supported in a world-class education setting and cutting-edge facilities. This unique curriculum is innovatively designed to develop successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and informed global citizens.

With the support from the Victorian Department of Education and Training and collaboration with our sister schools in Australia, AusCam students will be able to extend their learning horizons.

In addition to the Cambodian high school certificate, AusCam senior secondary students will have the option to undertake two years of Australian State and Territory Education Certification or an Australian university foundation program.

AusCam Academy provides full support and advice on entry into our sister schools or universities both in Australia and worldwide allowing a smooth transition into their international education journey.
