San Roberto International School

The school’s educational philosophy is centered on academic excellence, creativity, wellbeing, resilience, and global connectedness. It utilizes a research-led, personalized approach to learning that leverages technology and data to foster ambition and prepare students to be creative, resilient global citizens. The school emphasizes the development of human skills that complement academic achievement, aiming to empower students to become changemakers who can address global issues.

The school offers a comprehensive range of curricula, including the International Early Years Curriculum, IGCSEs, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Academic programmes are enriched by exclusive collaborations, such as a STEAM programme developed with MIT, a performing arts curriculum with The Juilliard School, and a sports and wellbeing programme with IMG Academy. Additionally, the Global Campus online platform connects students across the network for shared projects, debates, and challenges.

Students consistently outperform national averages in international examinations, including I/GCSEs. Graduates secure placements at top-ranked global universities, including institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, and UCL. Alumni are equipped with the academic results, confidence, and resilience necessary for success in their future careers and personal lives.

Every school within the network maintains a dedicated learning support team. This team works directly with parents to identify individual student needs and ensure that education is tailored to each child's requirements.

The school provides a step-by-step admissions process that begins with an enquiry, followed by a tour (in-person or virtual) and a meeting with the head teacher or principal. Families must submit details and academic records for evaluation, which may include an academic assessment. The admissions team supports families throughout the process, including those relocating internationally.

The school year is divided into two semesters. Semester 1 typically runs from early August to mid-December, while Semester 2 runs from mid-January to early June. The calendar includes scheduled breaks such as Pchum Ben, a winter break, a mid-semester school break, and Khmer New Year, with summer holidays beginning in mid-June.

The school maintains state-of-the-art learning environments, including modern classrooms, technology hubs, and fine arts spaces for music, art, and dance. Outdoor facilities feature green spaces, playgrounds, and sports areas. Specialized environments for younger students include mini gyms, 'WonderLabs,' and petting zoos designed to stimulate creativity and free play. All schools are equipped to provide a secure Virtual School Experience to ensure continuity of learning.

Students participate in a wide range of activities that extend beyond the classroom, including local outreach, volunteering, and fundraising through the Share A Dream programme. Students also engage in global expeditions, such as building and maintenance projects in Arusha, Tanzania, and mountaineering and outdoor navigation challenges at the Les Martinets centre in Switzerland. Additionally, the school offers performing arts programmes and sports training, often supported by collaborations with institutions like The Juilliard School and IMG Academy.
