Chairwoman's Welcome Message

Dear GGAS Community,

It is with immense pride and joy that I welcome you to Golden Gate American School, a place that has been close to my heart since its founding in 1994. When I envisioned GGAS, my goal was to create a nurturing environment where education would not merely be about academics but about cultivating the full potential of each child—their moral, intellectual, and physical being.

For over two decades, we have remained committed to this vision. Our approach to education is holistic, ensuring that students are not only equipped with knowledge but are also encouraged to develop a strong sense of character and physical well-being. We believe that true education extends beyond the classroom, fostering a love for learning, an understanding of one’s self, and a respect for others.

In a world that is constantly evolving, we hold steadfast to the values that have been the cornerstone of our school since its inception. At GGAS, we embrace the belief in the intrinsic worth of every child. Our mission is to guide them in their journey to becoming thoughtful, well-rounded individuals who will make a positive impact on the world.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Together, we will continue to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and compassionate citizens.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Heng Sokunthea
Chairwoman, Golden Gate American School
