Storytelling plays a fundamental role in the development of early literacy at Northbridge International School Cambodia, as it helps to establish a strong base for building literacy skills, reading, and writing.

I am not a football fanatic but I do like watching football games and occasionally playing at Northbridge International School Cambodia. The game is split into two halves and usually each half is pretty similar to each other, though one team may have different strengths than another. Occasionally though each half is completely different and a team may be winning 3 - 0 and then the other team comes on in the second half and wins 3 - 4.

Within PYP an inclusive philosophy is advocated and the class teacher is responsible for understanding the needs of each individual and catering to their learning styles within their class. There are times when students may experience barriers to learning. At Northbridge International School Cambodia we endeavour to provide programmes that enable individual students to reach their full potential.

After many months of waiting, our Northbridge International School Cambodia Aquatics Centre is finally ready. We are very excited for the opportunities that will be provided by having a state-of-the-art centre for both competitions as well as swimming lessons.

Reading is a key component of learning for our Northbridge International School Cambodia Primary students. In school, and during virtual learning, children practise their reading skills daily. But why is a daily reading routine important and what can parents do to support their children through the Virtual School Experience (VSE)?

A Mars rover called Perseverance will be landing on Mars on 19 February at approximately 3am Phnom Penh time. Though this isn’t the first time that a rover has landed on Mars, it is a momentous occasion for all of us here at Northbridge International School Cambodia as a MIT - a Nord Anglia Education partner - professor, Dr Jeff Hoffman, is involved.

There is no question that the digital age has transformed education at schools such as Northbridge International School Cambodia. In fact, there are very few industries that are as fast moving as the technology industry.

Welcome to Semester 2 at Northbridge International School Cambodia, I do hope you managed to have some time together as a family over the winter break and the students were able to relax.

There are many special and unique aspects of learning at a Nord Anglia school like Northbridge International School Cambodia, but one of the most exciting things to me is our collaboration with The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Did you know the first stages of reading are listening? Listening helps babies and children to understand the meaning and function of words, which is the foundation of reading. Before a child can read it is important that they have many listening and speaking opportunities. Listening to a variety of sounds in the environment and words, giving the child a bank of vocabulary, is a very important step in their language and pre-literacy development. These are steps that can be taken before they join school and skills that the students will continue to develop throughout their time at Northbridge International School Cambodia.

STEAM is part of our daily life. STEAM covers five subject areas, namely science, technology, engineering, arts and maths. Early Learning children at Northbridge International School Cambodia explore these subject areas through self-directed play and exploration. Teachers provide provocation tables that develop curiosity and promote inquisitive and curious minds.
