Stung Meanchey School

Students at the Stung Meanchey school have classes in the Cambodian national curriculum each weekday from 7:45 am to 11:00 am. Those subjects include, Khmer Literature, Mathematics, Social Studies and Science. It also includes Life Skills and Sport. At the end of Grade 6 students sit the national examination for admission to high school. In recent years the pass rate has been 100%. From 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm students at Stung Meanchey learn English. The classes follow the PIO English curriculum based on the Let's Go series of books. Students are assessed at the end of month.

Stung Meanchey is also the site for the PIO high school. Following approval from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport in 2016 PIO provides high school classes for students in Grades 7 - Grade 9. The students follow a curriculum comprising 14 subjects, exactly the same as in public schools.

The rationale for extending PIO to include lower secondary school classes is to increase the likelihood that students graduating from primary school will remain in education and remain at high school until a least passing the Grade 9 examination for admission to upper secondary school (Grades 10 - 12.)
