The Liger Curriculum Secondary Education Program is a holistic academic program that provides all students with a rigorous educational foundation with tailored learning experiences that maximize student engagement, achievement, and impact. Through project-based learning modules, students have frequent opportunities to collaborate in discussing, dissecting, and proposing possible solutions to complex, real-world problems. The academic program is based on two separate, but related styles of coursework. Essential classes, including English, Khmer language, Math, and Science, underpin the level of academic rigor expected for all coursework. With the knowledge and skills gained in these fields of study, students are equipped to excel in experiential, project-based, and opportunity-based learning. This combination of traditional and 21st century coursework provides an authentic and deeply meaningful education.
In addition to frequent internal, Liger-developed assessments that are both formative and summative, a host of internationally-recognized standardized tests are utilized in Grades 7-12 to track student progress and learning outcomes across several domains. This includes: The Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) tests; the WIDA Measure of Developing English Language (MODEL); Advanced Placement coursework and exams, which can be used to earn college credit from North American universities; and the SAT and/or the IELTS, two exams that are commonly required for entrance to overseas universities.
Educators are called Learning Facilitators. Their role is to help students become an integral part of their own learning process. The recruitment, training, and retention of exceptional, diverse, and committed staff is imperative to the success of the Liger model. Generally, there is a ratio of one Learning Facilitator to every 15 students, and when the ratio includes teaching assistants, it is 7.5 students to one education team member.
