Looking ahead at this semester, the calendar is filled with wonderful events, sports activities, musical productions and assessments for students at Northbridge International School Cambodia.

Music education is about more than learning to play an instrument, or learning to sing. At Northbridge International School Cambodia, we know that a holistic music education, preparing students for a lifelong enjoyment of music, has far reaching benefits. Music is a universal language, connecting communities and cultures around the world. As an art form, music is unique in the way in which it stimulates our brain. The impacts of a high quality musical education are astonishing.

The Juilliard School is a world leader in performing arts education. Our Northbridge International School Cambodia collaboration with Juilliard provides our students with high quality learning experiences, and also provides high-level professional training and personal development opportunities for our teachers.

Is academic success enough? There’s no question that academic success is a huge part of what we’re about here at Northbridge International School Cambodia. However this alone is not enough as we prepare our students for the world of the future. We also place a high value on students being balanced, caring and principled; these attributes form part of the IB Learner Profile and our school wide Learner Outcomes.

Not many people get to say how they made a tangible difference in the world. Not many people get to talk about how they laid bricks and mixed cement to build a school, or changed the life of a family by building a goat shed, or providing a stove and solar panels that will improve their quality of life.
