Sala Monkey Primary School is a donor supported rural primary school offering free, innovative and modern education. We support Cambodian children living in rural poverty by offering high quality education.
Our curriculum is based on the Singapore Ministry of Education's "Nurturing Early Learners" syllabus and taught in English. Our students also receive additional instruction in their mother tongue language - Khmer.
We've recently opened our Kindergarten - Primary 1 program here at Sala Monkey and we have a current goal of opening the entire primary program by the beginning of 2017.
We currently have 62 students enrolled in the afternoon kindergarten program and over 300 students on our waiting list ready to enroll in the core primary program.
We serve the children from within our village along with the surrounding villages here in Kep.
We're changing the face and the standards of rural education, proving that a school educating children living in rural poverty can have the same resources, quality teachers, and modern facilities as private education.
Responsible for travel, visa costs, motorized transportation and meal outside of school hours, and accommodation.
Note: We hope to have our long -term volunteer housing completed by early 2017. Presently, volunteers will need to source accommodation on their own.
