We believe a great education is one that balances academic outcomes, character development and student wellbeing.
By openly exploring wellbeing, we’re able to create a school culture where our students feel empowered to flourish academically, socially, physically and psychologically. Our students leave Northbridge with the tools to enjoy the wonderful moments in life, and also ‘bounce back’ in times of adversity.
Our collaborations with world-leading institutions will help your child discover and foster their natural talents, while developing important life skills through exciting global projects.
Performing arts are so much more than what is seen on stage. They encourage self-expression and self-awareness, as well the development of empathy, confidence and cultural exploration. Our collaboration with Juilliard, the world-renowned performing arts school, combined with our outstanding dance, drama, and music programmes, inspires our students’ creativity, team-work and resilience.
The Juilliard School is recognised around the world as a leader in the performing arts; our exclusive collaboration with them harnesses their expertise and experience to create an arts programme that both inspires our students and sparks their passion to pursue their talents and interests.
Our students are encouraged to enjoy the many sports we offer in our outstanding facilities.
All Northbridge teams compete locally with other Phnom Penh schools, and are proud members of the regional Asean Sports and Activities Conference (ASAC).
Football
Practiced and played on two grassy outdoor fields, football is a big part of student life at Northbridge.
Basketball
We teach our students the basic skills of basketball before they learn how to tactically use them in complex play on the school team.
Volleyball
Our volleyball team has the perfect conditions for our students to develop resilience, discover the meaning of sportsmanship, and commit to a cause greater than themselves.
Swimming
We see learning how to swim as one of life’s essential skills for our Northbridge students. Our dedicated Aquatics Centre is designed to teach all students how to swim, while the best go on to join the school swim team.
Cultivating children’s creativity is key to their success and happiness.
Dance
Under the guidance of expert instructors, our Northbridge students dance until their hearts are content in small developmental performances and larger routines. The world leader in performing arts education, The Julliard School guides our dance curriculum.
Drama
Our students broaden their improvisation and acting skills, as well as grow their self-esteem by working from scripted materials, playing games, and writing and performing their own screen plays through our drama programme.
Our music programmes encourage your child to engage with music in the most powerful way. We aim to instil a love of music that will last a lifetime.
Music
From an early age, our students explore the fundamentals of melody, first by learning to play the keyboard, followed by developing their musical skills and knowledge to be able to identify and understand harmonies.
Learning Outside of the Classroom.
We’ll help your child find the best ways to look after themselves, and develop the resilience to thrive in life.
All our teachers receive dedicated wellbeing training through the world-renowned Anna Freud Center, so they’re even better equipped to take care of our students, and our specialist staff offer a full range of academic and wellbeing support services.
While mindfulness is embedded in Primary and Secondary, our students can also independently access a wealth of resources to keep their minds and bodies fit through our exclusive online platform, Global Campus.
Our spacious 8-hectare campus is a leafy oasis, providing a much-needed park-like atmosphere for our students in a city where green space is lacking. They play outside on tree-lined fields, in a quiet atmosphere far from the busy city that lies beyond the school walls.
MORE ABOUT OUR CAMPUS
BUILDING LOCAL & GLOBAL CHANGEMAKERS
We believe it’s important to nurture a generation of wise, responsible global citizens, who feel empowered to make positive differences to their communities.
Our students understand that their success is not solely reliant on their academic achievements, but also on their character and actions. As part of the IB Diploma, students complete at least 150 hours a year of extracurricular endeavours, and through our Share a Dream initiative, they grow into dynamic change agents by fundraising, researching, advocating for and serving local NGOs.
Our Global Campus platform also challenges and inspires our students through Global Goals, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the UNICEF Global Challenge.
