Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a required class for all students wishing to complete the International Baccalaureate Programme Diploma, which is what most students graduate with at Northbridge International School Cambodia. It is often described as a class that asks the students to examine the basis for knowledge, in other words, how do we know that we know something?

As a teacher with a background in information communications technology, I understand why it is easy to feel left behind – Web 3.0, NFTs , the metaverse, hyperautomation, extended reality, gamification, augmented reality, quantum computing, “Internet of things" ... even if you have heard of some of these words, how many people really know what they are or what their potential is? And while the “distributed cloud” sounds like a rainy day at Northbridge International School Cambodia, it really has nothing to do with the weather.

We have already planned and prepared so much for this semester and all under the wonderful guidance of our student leaders at Northbridge International School Cambodia.

It was a joy recently to share our fabulous school with 6 representatives from the International Baccalaureate. September 5th through to the 7th was the culmination of 18 months of reflection, refinement and envisioning together as a community our plans for the continued success of our 3 IB programmes at Northbridge International School Cambodia.

It has been an eventful and exciting few weeks for the grade six students at Northbridge International School Cambodia. Their secondary school transition began in the last term of grade five with a series of events designed to make the transition to secondary school a less stressful, more positive experience.

Many people wave their flags of diversity without digging deep. People, including at Northbridge International School Cambodia, will not admit to thinking “Everyone is different but should not be different enough to bother me.” On the other extreme – those who think “I am different, so I cannot accept others who can’t accept me.” There are no winners here. A lot of that has to change and we know it’s not that simple! It is not natural for us to celebrate our differences, so it will require responsibility. How?

Every year, as part of Nord Anglia Education’s collaboration with UNICEF, student ambassadors from all around the world gather to meet in New York, the headquarters of the United Nations. This year Northbridge International School Cambodia was lucky enough to send (virtually) two ambassadors to attend this event. Please read on to find out more about what Gyubin and Seo Yun got up to.

As we approach the last days of the semester at Northbridge International School Cambodia, we can look back fondly on the successful return of sports for our community following the Covid restrictions since 2020. So nice to be back.

School traditions are often unique to their individual schools and are special moments that bring the community together and elevates the overall school spirit. Last Friday, Northbridge International School Cambodia started a new tradition with their graduating class, the 'Senior Walk'.

In my last blog, we discussed recreational mathematics. More countries around the world, such as Ireland and New Zealand, have embraced the idea of recreational mathematics and have 'math week' where members of the community participate in the fun events. This includes life size mazes that have an algorithm to follow or having number-themed treasure hunts.

This week the Grade 12 IB Diploma students at NISC complete a major milestone in their DP journey: the submission of the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) essay. This 1,600-word essay is the culmination of two years of reading, study and thought, centered around the question of “how do we know what we claim to know?”. Some people may feel that this question is either so obvious as to not warrant discussion, or so opaque as to be unanswerable. TOK students strive to uncover their own, and others’ cognitive biases, assumptions and intellectual blind spots in order to create a firm foundation on which to build their intellectual world as lifelong learners.
