Leadership and learning are two big areas that go hand in hand. Just like Proverbs 27:17 says: As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”, let's continue to strengthen the bounds of unity to learn and lead effectively in faith.
Charlie Staunton and Yaejun An have been selected as the new school captains for the 2025-2026 academic year. We extend our sincere appreciation to the other outstanding candidates— Jihwan Kim, Isaac Jorgenson Seyhe Park, and Julia Oh—each of whom has consistently demonstrated remarkable leadership, compassion, and vibrant faith throughout their time at HOPE.
Selecting school captains is a tough decision, but we are excited to see Charlie and Yaejun stepping into a new leadership role knowing that they reflect of HOPE’s mission, vision and core values.
As School Captains, they will be key team players, showing strong character, Christian faith, communication, and organizational skills. They will provide spiritual and practical support to younger students and lead the Secondary Student Council, while serving as a bridge between students, staff, and the community.
Thanks to our parents for a valuable Parent University Session 2, focusing on faith, health, and relationships. For those who missed it, the recording, slides, and audio are linked below. We look forward to bringing you more insightful sessions next year!
Cambodia International Schools Safeguarding Association (CISSA) is a collaborative effort among 11 international schools in Phnom Penh to ensure the safety and well-being of students. It aims to establish a shared commitment to safeguarding practices and procedures across member schools. CISSA is a platform for sharing resources, information, and collaborating on projects related to child protection. This step further strengthens HOPE’s commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for all our students.

This informative session will give parents and students a comprehensive overview of the IGCSE program at HOPE in Grades 9 and 10, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme at HOPE for Grades 11 and 12, including our subject options and alternate pathways.
We are looking for parent volunteers to help with the school production. The role of the volunteer would be to lead a group of students on one of the teams: hair/makeup, costumes, backstage manager, sound and lights. They will need to go through the volunteer approval at HOPE to participate. We have filled some key roles already, but are looking to build our support team. Please contact Taara Portela.
Our awesome extracurricular clubs for Semester 2 will be finishing up next week unless otherwise notified. A huge thank you to all the volunteers and parents who have supported our students!
Week 18 - John 14:3–6
Week 19 - Psalm 37:23–24
Week 20 - Matthew 7:13–14
With hearts overflowing with gratitude, we reflect on God's faithfulness to HOPE International School. Celebrating 10 remarkable years at this Sensok campus, we are filled with gratitude for His constant presence in the school’s journey. This year holds a particularly special significance as we rejoice in the completion of the loan, a testament to His provision, allowing us to move towards securing our permanent place here, a blessing realized by His grace.
These incredible milestones feel like a true miracle gifted to our community. Join us for a brief ceremony of celebration on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 2:45 pm on campus, to honor God's amazing goodness and steadfast faithfulness. We invite you to share in this heartfelt community celebration, complete with joyful fellowship and an ice cream social.
The Primary Court will be closed next week as we undertake a floor resurfacing project. This proactive measure is being taken to ensure a safe and optimal playing surface for everyone. We appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.
