While Liger is an English immersion school, we value the importance of our students maintaining their Khmer culture and identity and this includes instruction on the Khmer language (Cambodia’s national language). 🇰🇭 #languageimmersion

It’s vital that our students graduate with the skills necessary for further study or entering work. In preparation for graduation in 2020, our seniors' schedule now closely resembles university with approx. 22 hours of study per week that they allocate toward multiple projects.

I have to say that talking with Jeff Holte from Liger Leadership Academy has been totally enlightening! Our discussion: how do we serve communities at home and abroad with excellent educational opportunities that don't promote our own cultures, but allow them to make change in their own?

Things I’ve been inspired by at the GlobalSchoolAlliance meetup: 1) Open learning space at @FreemansbayScho & Stonefields School. 2) Epic #PBL projects Liger Leadership Academy (books read by millions!) 3)Community services provided by Hilltop Road PS (swim lessons, job training, etc for parents)

This pushed my #PBL thinking so much further! Liger Leadership Academy talking about the 400 page textbook his 60+ middle school students wrote, photographed, laid out, collected data for, published, then raised $10K to distribute across Cambodia. As Natalie See says, “that’s next level”

A lot of the GlobalSchoolAlliance schools focus on the UN sustainable development goals for the #PBL units. These are really compelling goals that could motivate authentic learning. un.org/sustainabledev…
