I believe that education is what builds the foundation of a nation.

Japan International CIESF Leaders Academy (JIC) will keep evolving by incorporating new educational approaches so that we can adapt to the coming age of singularity, when AI will surpasses human intelligence. 

I hope to nurture in our children the 'power to live' or life competencies necessary for them to navigate a future different from today, enabling them to become valuable contributors to Cambodia and create a better world.

Ultimately, we hope that JIC's educational approach will serve as a model for Cambodia's education, widely disseminating and contributing to the nation's development. 

Japan International CIESF Leaders Academy was established with the purpose of fostering leaders who will support the future of Cambodia, guided by the Buddhist principles of mutual benefit, benefiting oneself and benefiting others.

Japan International CIESF Leaders Academy is a rare school in Cambodia as we offer a curriculum adapted from the Japanese system but optimized for Cambodia, with many subjects taught in Japanese. Our aim goes beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge and skills. We aim to cultivate the ability to apply what our students have learned to real-world situations and to continue learning throughout their lives.

By the time our students become adults, robots may be working in place of humans, and humans and AI may be collaborating to build society. To navigate this coming era, we implement an educational approach that integrates character education for cultivating life competencies, self-directed learning where students continually learn autonomously, and collaborative learning where they learn together. This approach brings immense joy to the children. 

Japan International CIESF Leaders Academy continues to create innovative educational approaches together with all those who gather here to build a prosperous and happy society for Cambodia.
