Asian Hope International School (AHIS) first opened in January 2010. We have since grown to a current student body of over 600 students, and we currently offer classes from Preschool to Year 12.

AHIS is dedicated to providing a high quality, child-centered education in a safe and pleasant Christian environment, ensuring that every child feels worthy and appreciated. Children at AHIS learn through a unique bilingual curriculum based on the British National Curriculum which is combined with the Cambodian National Curriculum following an integrated Topic approach.

We prepare our Cambodian students to take the Year 6, 9 and 12 national exams; as well as the British IGCSE’s.  Students graduating from AHIS will be able to attend both Cambodian Universities as well as international universities.

As a bilingual school for Cambodian children, our classes are taught in English and Khmer, helping the children to appreciate and retain their own culture while being prepared to take their place as leaders in the global community. Teaching is done from a Christian worldview but always in a very open and no pressure atmosphere, recognizing that the children come from different religious background.
