At King’s we are committed to holistic, all-round education, focusing on the highest academic standards, supported by opportunities for wider personal growth. The Early Years setting provides children with a warm, welcoming, nurturing environment that fosters a sense of belonging. More widely, our community-focused environment allows children to feel like part of something much bigger while receiving all the support they require from an experienced team of staff. Our philosophy is grounded in ensuring our students have every opportunity to develop each facet of themselves. To thrive, to grow, and to become strong, resilient and compassionate young adults. What matters most in education is the way a school cares for its students and the values and beliefs it instils in them. We are guided by the 4Rs:

Respect: Guided by kindness, we listen to one another, value everyone’s opinions and understand that everyone has feelings. This helps us to build positive relationships and fosters teamwork, empathy, and conflict resolution

Resilience: We are determined and adaptable. We keep going when things get tough. We learn to handle disappointments, setbacks, and failures as we know these make us stronger and make the good times even better.

Responsibility: We do the right thing even when no one is watching. We are honest, admitting our mistakes and learning from them. We are growing up to be reliable and trustworthy. You can count on us!

Readiness: We love to learn and are always prepared for learning. We are curious and open to new experiences. Growing and changing is exciting for us.

With a rigorous curriculum, high-quality resources, bespoke learning space, and a highly skilled teaching team, children are encouraged to become independent, resourceful learners with the keys to unlock their own success.

At The King’s School, Vattanacville, we embrace a British-based education model that prioritises the holistic growth of every young learner under our care. While steeped in history – spanning over 1400 years – we have a research-based and internationally approach.

Our commitment to transforming education is fueled by ambitious vision, clear goals, and unwavering effort. We aim to instill a lifelong love of learning in our students. This commitment underpins everything we do, from fostering social and emotional awareness to nurturing cultural understanding.

In their earliest days with us, children experience a nurturing, child-centered environment. Our classrooms, facilities, and curriculum encourage play, exploration, and wonder, igniting their imaginations. Our dedicated, highly qualified staff create a positive atmosphere where students thrive and achieve their best as independent learners. Energy, enthusiasm and creativity abound. We adhere to the UK Curriculum framework, supplemented by the IPC curriculum. Our students follow the National Curriculum for Khmer. In addition, Mandarin is offered across the school.
