Footprints is excited to announce the introduction of a new study pathway for our students: the International Programme with Khmer Language and Culture.
Currently, this pathway is on offer to G1-G5 students, and incorporates both the Cambridge International curriculum and Khmer language and culture lessons.
It provides students with our International High School diploma, which is equivalent to the National High School diploma and allows for acceptance into Cambodian universities.
The main benefits of this pathway include the opportunity for students to excel in the Cambridge curriculum while still having time to enjoy extracurricular clubs, social activities and school life.
Dear Parents, Guardians and wider school community members, welcome to the 2022/2023 school year.
My name is André Struve and I serve at Footprints International School as the School Director and Vice-President.
It was wonderful to see both familiar and new faces during the first weeks of classes.
All of our new staff have arrived and those from overseas are settling in nicely. Our school has become even more diverse through the hiring of new teaching staff.
During our teacher orientation week, we celebrated the addition of teaching professionals. We are excited to welcome them to our team and to have them make their own unique contributions to our school.
Our international faculty now consists of professionals from more than 15 countries including America, Australia, Great Britain, Cambodia, Canada, The Philippines, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Portugal, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Syria, who lead the learning of more than 1000 students across our two campuses.
We wish you and your family all the very best for the new school year ahead. Please always reach out to our family engagement team for any questions or concerns you may have.
Stay confident,
André
We would like to congratulate our Class of 2022 on graduating from Footprints International School in a ceremony held on the 25th of June 2022.
We are immensely proud of the determination, passion and hard work each of our students has shown.
As they continue on their journeys, we are sure that their knowledge, talent, and the core values of compassion, determination and responsibility will guide them towards success.
Footprints graduates will always have a family at Footprints International School, and we look forward to hearing about their exciting adventures and accomplishments in the coming years.
On Friday, May 6, 2022, a group of approximately forty Upper Secondary students from Footprints International School participated in an event sponsored by Everwave. During this event supervised by members of the Footprints management team, students scoured the riverside of the Tonle Sap, picking up paper, plastic and other debris that had been left behind. It was a great demonstration of compassion and responsibility put forth by our eldest students.
This was also a great opportunity for the students to perform some learning activities outside of the classroom setting. With the dwindling number of COVID cases taking place in Cambodia and around the world, it is our hope that this was one of the first of many opportunities for our students to participate in field trips and community service activities that allow them to experience the world beyond our campuses. For the most part, students enjoyed the activity they performed on the riverside and voiced a hope to have more opportunities to get out into the community and serve.
It was hoped that in performing the activity, students would give thought to the effects of littering and how hard people have to work to try to keep the environment clean. If you spend any time on the riverside, then you know that it didn’t take long after the students’ clean-up activities for more trash to gather beside the river. As a result, we anticipate that we will periodically return to the riverside to continue to make Cambodia and Phnom Penh beautiful.
