(English) Footprints International School is thrilled to have hosted its second Reading Day event in support of the 8th National Reading Day on March 11th, 2023, under the theme “Reading is the path to Education Transformation.”
On Friday 10th March, students from the primary and secondary programmes attended and were excited to read in both national and international languages. We welcomed parents and guardians to join us at both campuses to read with their children and promote a love for reading. The event was a huge success and we are grateful to all the members of our community who joined us and supported our mission of encouraging a lifelong love of reading!
(English) Footprints International School held its first-ever Festival of Learning on February 11th, 2023, at both our TK and TTP campuses, which was well-attended by members of our school community, such as parents, students, teachers, support staff, and other family members.
The festival showcased the incredible talents of our students, with a wide range of exciting performances that delighted the audience. Visitors had the opportunity to tour our classrooms and see the impressive displays of student creations, including stunning artwork, fascinating experiments, and innovative projects. Additionally, coffee and snack stalls were available throughout the day to keep everyone fueled and energised.
Our partners, such as Tous les Jours Bakery, Springboard4Education, Bright Consultant Education and Travel, CamEd Business School, and HouSheng Phnom Penh Eye Clinic, helped create a festive atmosphere throughout the day. We are thrilled with the community’s support and the success of the student-led initiatives, including the STUCO and Rotary Interact Club, in raising funds for charities.
The festival was a celebration of the school’s commitment to providing an exceptional learning experience for its students. It was also a fantastic opportunity for parents and the community to learn more about our Schoolwide Learner Outcomes (SLOs), the guiding principles of our school that are embedded in our educational practice and approaches to learning.

(English) On behalf of every member of the Footprints Community, we wish to extend our deepest appreciation to the four members of the ACS WASC visiting committee for their encouragement, support and valuable guidance during their virtual visits this November.
Over the past months, Footprints International School has been engaged in a rigorous self-study process in order to renew our ACS WASC Accreditation.
The Accrediting Commission for Schools (ACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), is an internationally acclaimed accrediting association whose mission is to ensure school improvement and quality by supporting a diligent and relevant self-evaluation and peer review process that focuses on student learning.
With support from all Footprints stakeholders, the thorough and transparent preparation of the self-evaluation resulted in a detailed accreditation report, submitted to the ACS WASC committee in the first week of October, 2022.
During the virtual visits from the 21st to the 24th of November, 2022, the WASC committee toured both our TK and TTP campuses, met with various members of our school community including our Focus on Learning Committee, the Footprints Student Council (StuCo), our Administrative and Leader Teams, Operations Teams, Board of Directors and Governors, teachers, and other members of the Footprints faculty and staff.
Furthermore, the WASC Committee evaluated safety measures of both campuses, inspected student work, observed various lessons from the Early Childhood through to the Secondary Programmes, and engaged in many meetings focused on reflective and constructive discussions surrounding every aspect of Footprints International School’s final self-study accreditation report, our strengths, areas for growth, and our 2022-2023 Schoolwide Action Plan.
We are grateful to the ACS WASC Visiting Committee for so effectively creating a trusting environment in which to build rapport with our school community and to foster sincere communication, for ensuring rigour, accuracy and trustworthiness in the process and for taking the time to so thoroughly evaluate every aspect of the school.
