Learning

Students will be taught in the Australian Curriculum that is a world-class education by setting out the knowledge, understanding and skills needed for the 21st century. More importantly, the AusCam Academy offers a rigorous Cambodian Curriculum which Cambodian students to be equipped with Khmer literacy, culture, and social values. The Academy encourages students not only to cherish their own identity but also to become successful global leaders in future.

Early Years 

At AusCam Academy, our Early Years program, guided by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supports holistic child development through two stages: Early Year 1 and Early Year 2. Early Year 1 focuses on exploration through play, fostering curiosity, confidence, and social-emotional skills, while Early Year 2 builds on these foundations to enhance cognitive, physical, creative, and independent growth. Through rich learning experiences and close collaboration with parents, we create an inclusive environment that nurtures each child’s unique development, fostering a love of learning and a seamless transition into formal schooling.

Primary

At the AusCam Academy, the Foundation (Pre-Primary) to Year 6 Curriculum is designed to provide a caring and supportive environment where each student is nurtured to build a strong educational foundation and the best start to their learning journey. We focus on developing essential foundational skills in literacy and numeracy both in English and Khmer. Our primary students enjoy a fun, engaging and globally minded learning program which allows them to learn the way they like best; by asking questions, investigating, and sharing what they have learned.

Disciplinary knowledge, skills and understanding are embedded in the eight learning areas of the Australian Curriculum: English, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Arts, Technologies, and Languages.

Junior Secondary

Year 7 to Year 10 is one of the most important developmental years between childhood and early adolescence. At the Junior Secondary, our students continue to explore and discover their own interests and passions through an education emphasising intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth. With high-quality teaching and learning, students learn how to discover and apply in-depth knowledge and practical skills in the real world. The Junior Secondary Curriculum challenges each of our students to take responsibility for their learning, think for themselves and make real-world connections in their education.

Senior Secondary & University Foundation Program

AusCam Academy is proud to offer the Senior Secondary Program in partnership with SACE International which allows our students to complete the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) alongside the Cambodian High School Certificate. The SACE curriculum is designed to equip students with critical skills for success in the 21st century, including adaptability, flexibility, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Graduating with a SACE qualification opens doors to higher education and career success worldwide, giving students a competitive edge as they move forward into global opportunities.

Additionally, we offer a University Foundation Program designed to prepare students for entry into top universities in Australia and worldwide. This program provides an alternative pathway for students who may not wish to complete Year 12, offering a direct route to university admission.

“I would like to congratulate both the SACE Board and AusCam for this shared vision of fostering academic achievement and supporting young learners to reach their full potential. This partnership represents the future of education, and I am confident it will offer Cambodian students a pathway to globally recognised qualifications and success.” – His Excellency Derek Yip, Ambassador of Australia to the Kingdom of Cambodia

“SACE has been taught successfully for more than 40 years internationally across the Asia Pacific region. Over 40,000 SACE International students have graduated since 1982. The SACE qualification is transforming education globally, and we are thrilled to be expanding into Cambodia for the first time.”
“SACE offers a different style of teaching and learning. The curriculum equips students not only with deep academic knowledge but also critical skills for success at university, in their careers, and in life-skills such as adaptability, flexibility, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These life skills help students advance on their journey to higher education and career success, whether in Cambodia, Australia, or beyond.” – Michaela Bensley, Chief Executive of the SACE Board of South Australia
