Our School Background & Basic Information
ZAMAN International School (ZIS) is an independent, nondenominational, co- educational day school offering courses designed for students aged 13 to 18 years who seek an international education in Phnom Penh. The School was founded in 1997 by Zaman International Development Organization and currently has an enrolment of more than 340 students from Grade 8 to Grade 11. ZIS is certified by the Cambodian Ministry of Education and it is a member of ECIS (European Council of International Schools). Since 1997 The School has been housed in an attractive purpose-converted four-story building situated in a convenient central city location in street 71 off Mao Tse Tung Blvd near the junction with M o n i v o n g . Specialist rooms and areas include a computer information technology center, a whole school library, boarding facilities, kitchen, canteen and dining room, fully equipped art room and a full range of t e a c h i n g r o o m s. The courtyard has been remodeled and incorporates an out-door playground. The sports area and gymnasium are located on the roof. ZIS is open to children of all lin-
guistic, religious, cultural, ethnic and national groups. The School actively welcomes diversity in its student population and has no prescribed quotas or other such constraints in its admissions policy.
All teachers are qualified in their own country and hold at least a bachelor's degree and teaching certificate. All are concerned with their own continuing education and regularly attend courses and inservice w o r kshops. Teachers take a sinc e r e interest in a l l aspects of their student's lives and are committed to their personal and academic well being. The staff work closely together in an atmosphere of co-operation and mutual support.
Our Philosophy
We believe that children of today should grow up with selfconfidence, self-discipline and high ethical standards ready to communicate and operate within the increasingly complex global community with creativity and proficiency. The School seeks to p r e p a r e s t ud e n t s t o become citizens of the world through its commitment to the development of the w h o l e c h i l d, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Children are born with the love for learning; thus we encourage autonomous learning and aim to crea t e l i f e l o n g l e a r n e r s. We respect each child as an individual and thus encourage self-respect, decision making, independence and selfd i scipli ne. The Sch ool
emphasizes the need for acceptance of responsibility, concern for others, service to the community and an understanding of people of different races, religions and social Continued page 2
