About the School

The Giving Tree is a well - established International Preschool and Primary School, operating in 3 campuses in Phnom Penh, since 2008. We welcome children from 18 mo to 12 yrs old and offer a quality education in English, following the IB PYP (International Baccalaureate Primary Years Curriculum) alongside our own specially developed early years curriculum. We are a proud member of the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children, US). At The Giving Tree, we offer a lot of fun activities for our little students such as Swimming, Yoga, PE, Art, Sport, ICT and Music. At The Giving Tree, we believe that each child is a unique and special individual that needs an environment in which to grow, develop and learn about the world around them through exploration and discovery. Our goal is to create this nurturing environment where children are free to imagine, create and express themselves as they gain confidence and understanding. Our learning environments are designed to stimulate curiosity, to develop an appreciation of beauty and nature, and to foster creativity and imagination. Each of our caring international and local practitioners brings unique knowledge and experience to The Giving Tree. In addition to their education and training in early years or primary learning and their extensive experience working with young children, our practitioners and teaching assistants bring with them skills in music, art and photography, role-playing, dance, among others. We believe that sharing our skills with each other will benefit all of our young students and the life of The Giving Tree in general.
