The JESUS SCHOOL

The school was started in 2002 to serve the children who live on or near the dump in Phnom Penh .  One of the goals of the school is to help break the cycle of poverty.  Education is viewed as one of the keys in helping break that cycle.  Coming from very meager backgrounds, a goal of the teachers and other adults who work at the school is to ensure that the children feel valued and treated with the kindness, love, and dignity that all children deserve.   In addition to the governmental approved curriculum, children are taught lessons from the Bible that focus on compassion, loving, forgiving, and grace.

Approximately 100 children attend school in grades one

through four.  The children are placed in the grade that most closely aligns to their academic skill.  Children needing to learn to read are placed in the first grade, etc.  

Teachers provide a loving hand and a warm smile and seek to love the children as Christ loves children.  For many of them, the school provides the only teachings about Jesus Christ they receive.  Because of the strong Christian influence, the children have named the school “The JESUS SCHOOL.”
