Ammerican Curriculum
GGAS provides an American curriculum best of its kind in Cambodia.
Pre-Kindergarten
At GGAS, we recognize the importance of free-play in children’s emotional, psychological and academic development. To support this, we offer our students an interactive playroom to further stimulate our young learners. Overall, through the year, your child will take part in many hands-on activities such as arts and crafts, cooking and music. All classes are taught in English by Native-English speaking teachers with Khmer assistants.Kindergarten
In Kindergarten, we introduce your child to the basic concepts of Mathematics, Social Studies, Geography, Science, Music, and Art. With our experienced, caring, native English-speaking teachers as your child’s guide, our Kindergarten Program will give your child a strong start on their educational journey and foster a desire to become healthy and morally responsible individuals. We apply the latest teaching practices and utilize modern technology, encouraging a positive, creative, and fun environment. This ensures your child will develop a solid foundation for future intellectual growth. All classes are taught by professional, qualified, experienced Native- English speaking teachers who care about your child’s education and well- being. Golden Gate believes that learning should be fun! We encourage your child to use their creativity and imagination as much as possible, while teaching them to use confidence in such areas as coping with everyday challenges, learning independence and having positive interpersonal relationships with fellow students, adults, and teachers. Our student base is from many different countries and backgrounds. These increases global exposure and creates a multicultural environment for our Cambodian students.Primary Program
In the Primary Program, students extend their knowledge of subjects already learned in Kindergarten, such as English, Reading, Science, and Mathematics, and they also explore new subjects such as ICT, Social Studies, and Physical Education. They have the option to participate in various extra-curricular activities like music, drama, football, and art. At GGAS, our students benefit from a high standard of education. Our curriculum is provided by an American educational institution with the support and insight of qualified teachers. These are full-time courses that cater to grades one through eight. With our multicultural environment, all of our students are encouraged to use English at all times throughout the campus, not just in the classroom.Middle School and High School
