Technology is integrated into all course subjects. For example, math, English, etc. It is also taught as a standalone subject at every grade level.

Is the school ready to use virtual classrooms when needed? (e.g. teaching lessons online if the school is closed, e.g. during COVID-19 closures)

Yes

Do students practice religion at the school? What religion?

No. We are non-religious and non-political.

Academics

External examinations or assessments available

We do MAP Tests and WIDA Tests. We provide SAT prep, IELTS other English proficiency test prep and selected AP courses.

Do teachers assign homework to their students?

Yes

Approximate hours of homework given

Because we are a residential school, our students are responsible for home chores, including cleaning and laundry. Therefore, we take this into consideration and adjust nightly homework expectations accordingly.

Percentage of students who pursue further education post-graduation

Because we are a project-based learning school, we do not believe that the best pathway post-graduation is going to university. Several graduates have gone directly into starting their own business or pursuing work in a field of their interest. 88% of our students wanted to pursue higher education and did so.

Student support

Dedicated staff/programs for students with special learning needs

We interview every student and family who applies to Liger to ensure that we have the capacity to support demonstrated student needs.

Learning support offered

With two teachers in every classroom, we have ample opportunity for small group work, including repetition and review. If students have a specific diagnosis, we can implement the recommended accommodations that are suggested for their disability. Additionally, we have two full-time counseling staff.

The school supports gifted, able and talented students

Because our curriculum is so open-ended and flexible, as well as experiential and hands-on, there are endless opportunities to extend students who are talented and passionate.

Student access to education psychologist

Yes, we have two full-time staff in the counseling department as well as close ties with several external providers in case more serious intervention is required.

Admissions

Entry evaluation for students

Yes, we have a 3-step process for all students, which includes the completion of an enrollment form, submission of recent school reports, and a family and student interview. If additional screening is desired, we also have the option for MAP testing students and inviting them to a trial day in the grade they are applying for.

Waiting list

Yes, our grade 9 is full so currently you can interview and you will be placed on a waiting list until a spot opens.

Deadline for registration (new academic year)

We have rolling admissions.

Students can join after academic year begins

Yes. There are 4 terms in Liger's academic year. While we have rolling admissions, it is unlikely that we would accept new students after the third term of the academic year post grade 7.

About the school

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Our culture and curriculum are built around our 6 core values and 12 leadership competencies. Our school's mission is to raise a generation of ethical change agents for Cambodia who can practice problem-solving, comfort with uncertainty, communication, and self-awareness. We immerse our students in the values of determination, integrity, optimism and appreciation.

Teaching approach of the school

At Liger, we call our teaching staff Learning Facilitators as we firmly believe that their role is to facilitate learning alongside students in a collaborative approach. Roughly 50% of each student's day is spent in their Essentials classes (English, Khmer, Science, Math), which provide the foundational knowledge and academic rigor for 21st-century learning. The other half of the day is spent on project-based courses (Technology, Creative Arts, Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, Explorations). These courses use the world as a classroom and ground the students in proposing solutions to real-world problems by responding to essential questions and often use research, networking with experts, and technology to produce an impactful outcome.
