The first 100 students who enrol at our school will enjoy a special discounted school fee of $5,000 per year for the next two years (2020-21 and 2021-22). Those who enrol from now until August this year will enjoy this promotional school fee. The promotion is to further provide an affordable and accessible quality education, especially during these economically challenging times.

Compared to other international schools in Phnom Penh, we are relatively affordable in terms of school fees as we are offering fixed prices for primary level from Year 1 to Year 6.

We do not charge parents any annual capital fees, unlike other international schools, and our research shows Invictus is significantly more affordable than seven of our major competitors – on average between around $1,596 and $9,250 a year.

Clive Swale, the principal of Invictus International School Phnom Penh.

We continue to stand by our commitment to provide top quality education at accessible prices to parents in Cambodia. While some international schools have raised their prices during these difficult times, Invictus has chosen to further reduce our accessible price from $8,000 per year to $5,000 per year.

Children who are unable to come to our Phnom Penh campus can attend our online virtual campus www.invictus.family at an even more accessible price of $4,000 per year.

The coronavirus situation certainly brings challenges for everyone; however, technology has offered us great workaround solutions. Parents can simply visit our website to learn more about our school, our

experienced teachers, our convenient location, robust curriculum, comfortable library and splendid campus.

We are also doing “Meet the Principal and Teachers” sessions via video conferencing to let all parents and potential students see and hear from their school leaders to make an informed decision about whether our school is right for them.

The crisis has brought about a lot of inconvenience. At the same time, we believe in the spirit of resilience, and we will overcome all challenges to provide accessible, high-quality education. One important value that is highlighted at Invictus is the value of resilience. We believe in persevering and striving for progress.

In addition to offering home-based learning to students of Invictus International School, Invictus is now offering a “virtual campus” concept – www.invictus.family – to offer full-time home-based learning to students worldwide. Grade 1 to Grade 6 students can now enrol in the Invictus Family to attend daily lessons following a structured timetable taught by qualified and experienced teachers from Invictus International School.

This is the first full-time virtual campus by the international school, after establishing three physical campuses in Singapore and two in Hong Kong, with the latest now in Phnom Penh.

We are using a combination of Zoom for video conferencing and Google Classroom to conduct our home-based learning (HBL) lessons.

The current situation has caused some difficulties and delays. At the same time, if we respond positively and successfully to these challenges, these problems need not be stumbling blocks. We can use this experience as a stepping stone to growth and success. For example, Invictus is now using technology more effectively and actively to teach and engage our students.

Our teachers use Google Classroom and Google Meet to connect with our students and educate them daily. We have also established a virtual campus named Invictus Family to provide high-quality, home-based online learning. However, our commitment to delivering top-quality education at accessible school fees will never change.

We increased our capabilities to use a variety of online tools, platforms and resources to make learning more engaging. We have shared our best practices and learning experiences among our campuses.

Indeed, we will be sharing our knowledge, skills, experiences and best practices with our team in Phnom Penh to further provide excellent education.

We will continue to stay true to our mission of providing accessible quality education that nurtures individuals in innovative and inspiring ways to be lifelong learners who contribute positively for a better tomorrow.

We will continue to use online resources effectively to complement and enhance the education provided by our teachers.

The Invictus offer is to further provide accessible quality education.

We will through the selection of excellent school leaders and teachers, as well as the provision of an effective curriculum, good facilities and resources, provide an excellent education to successfully nurture our students.

There will be a new normal, with a greater emphasis on hygiene and wellbeing. The crisis has raised the awareness of the importance of health and teamwork in ensuring the well-being of society.

Invictus Family home-based learning was born of the “unconquerable” spirit of Invictus. We have received many enquiries from informed parents from Cambodia, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and many more. Webelieve this is a new era for home-based learning. Hence, we will be offering secondary classes based on the Cambridge secondary curriculum, IGCSE and even A Levels come August.

Educators will need to be adaptable, and quality education should be available to students in school as well as at home. There will also be increased demand for high-quality education.

Technology is playing an increasingly important role, especially during this phase of home-based learning. The knowledge, dedication and diligence of our teachers in using digital learning truly will further contribute to the successful educational experience of our students.

We have further realised the importance of quality education and teamwork. We also learned to optimise the use of technology in promoting education and communication. In times of crisis, there are opportunities. During these challenging times, we can also nurture the Invictus qualities of resilience, respect, care, collaboration, excellence and joyous lifelong learning.

Let us continue to stay safe and well. Let us also use this opportunity to learn successfully and grow in terms of our knowledge and skills. Together, let us develop the positive values that will enable us to thrive in the times ahead.
