School Mission and Vision
Mission
East-West International School is a community of students,
educators, staff, and parents striving to achieve excellence in a
caring environment.
Vision
It is the vision of East-West to provide each and every student the opportunity to learn, to be challenged,
to be creative, to think critically, to know acceptance, and thus to provide a strong foundation for further
study and/or work in an ever changing world. East-West is dedicated to academic excellence. By making
learning relevant and appropriate, East-West hopes to instill in each child a lifelong love of learning and
the ability to solve problems creatively. East-West also wishes that each student learns about and
appreciate Cambodian culture and language, as well as other cultures of the world, thus giving them a
global perspective so that each becomes a responsible world citizen and a contributing member of society.
Respect for cultural differences, language, and background of all who are the East-West community is an
everyday expectation which engages students in the realities of this global perspective. East-West strives
to become a leading educational institution, both locally and internationally.
