New Life School offers Cambodian children the opportunity to receive a quality education regardless of their economic status. With this education we are preparing our students to lead the next generation of Cambodia with character and integrity.
Students are educated to the highest Cambodian educational standards by professional Cambodian teachers. Students are encouraged to dream big and to study hard to make those dreams a reality. We want the students at New Life School to understand the world around them and be able to enter that world as leaders with character.
We seek to provide an excellent learning experience in the local Khmer language that focuses on history, geography, math, reading, writing, the arts, science, health and social studies. We also offer English language classes to our students. Our students have a 98% pass rate on Cambodia grade 12 final exams.
In addition to our academic curriculum we focus on 3 things every day with our students.
Instilling Hope
Building The Ability To Dream
Children who come from difficult situations often struggle to dream of a life different from that of their parents. Our teachers are constantly working to help students dream bigger and brighter, while giving them the education they need to make those dreams a reality.
Building Character
We want our students to be aware of opportunities, evaluate them with character, and intentionally choose to live a life of service.
Quality Education
We give students a quality education, practical to their native language and culture, that will give them the knowledge, character, and integrity to be role models and leaders in Cambodian
society.
The teachers at New Life School are local professionals who are committed to educating children and helping them reach their full potential. Our teachers are given the tools they need to excel at their profession. They receive regular training, mentoring, and evaluations that help them refine their teaching skills to better equip their students for the future.
Our teachers and staff provide students with intentional instruction and care to help them grow into people of character that will impact Cambodia in the future.
New Life School is registered with Cambodia’s National Ministry of Education. Our curriculum meets and exceeds national standards and our school is regularly evaluated by officials from the Ministry of Education.
Affordable
We want families to financially invest in their children’s education as much as possible. Families who can afford to pay the full tuition cost for their children are expected to pay the costs associated with their students education. For families with limited income, we ask them to commit to pay an amount they can afford. Even a small monetary investment in their child’s education dramatically increases how much value they place on their child’s education and the amount they engage in their child’s learning process.
We are always looking for more generous sponsors to cover the difference between what a family can afford and the actual cost of educating each child.
Empowering Leadership
Our goal at New Life School is to produce students of character who have the skills to lead the rising generation of Cambodia.
Students are encouraged to step out, take initiative and lead. Our teachers and staff are available to help students explore leadership and learn to lead with character.
Over the last few years our students have started and continue to lead a number of extra curricular activities. Our high school students have started and help lead the following programs:
- STEM Club
- Robotics Club
- Drama Club
- Peer Tutoring Program
Raising a generation of children to have knowledge, skills, and character that equips them to build up the local church and encourages positive change in Cambodian society.
– Mission Statement
History
New Life School was founded by Charles McCaul and New Life Fellowship in 2006. The school opened with Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades with the commitment to add an addition grade each year after that. New Life School has grown steadily over the years currently has over 600 students enrolled in grades pre K – grade 12.
Daily operations of the school are managed by a team of professional Cambodian administrators and teachers. Students come from a wide variety of social and economic backgrounds but have equal opportunity to receive a quality education.
The future is looking bright for New Life School. We have a beautiful new school building for our children to study in. In 2021 we added another 100 students and we have room for more!
Students
Our students are successful when they graduate and are able to move on and continue their education at local universities and vocational schools.
Academically they are successful when they complete their coursework and yearly final exams.
Our students are successful in life when they have done the work required to be able to take advantage of opportunities that are presented to them. Then, because of the character they have built while in our care, they choose to live a life of service to their communities.
Teachers
Success for our teachers is using the tools they are given to inspire children to hope, dream and excel.
Successful teachers build lasting relationships with students, becoming trusted mentors and advisors as students grow.
We evaluate a teachers contribution to the school culture through student academics, student character growth, and their ability to help students realize their full potential.
Community
On a community level we are successful when we see the academics we teach, and the character and integrity we model, bringing positive change to the communities our students live in. This change is both practical and spiritual and affects all areas and levels of a community.
We expect our students to be positive agents for change, not just in the future when they complete their education, but in real time as they apply their daily learning to their lives.
Organizational Accountability
New Life School is part of the New Life Fellowship family of ministries. The Board of Directors for New Life School is accountable to the Board of Directors of New Life Fellowship.
