ABOUT USAIS

 

To prepare a generation of thinking and committed citizens who are capable of contributing towards continued growth and prosperity of their country and beyond, the USA International School has adopted a prestigious curriculum, the Cambridge Curriculum to ensure that the skills and knowledge taught in school meet the challenges of the 21st century and the millennium goals set by of the Royal Government of Cambodia.



USAIS aims to provide students with a holistic and broad-based education. Under the bilingual concept, every student mainly learns English which is the common working language at school. Students also learn their mother tongue language (Khmer), to help them retain their ethnic identity, culture, heritage and values.
