Every single day, over 400 energetic young minds swarm into the Greenway School in Samraong, Cambodia. Why? Because they’re hungry for knowledge, and they truly appreciate folks like you who can join them on their educational journey.
This school wasn’t conjured out of thin air. It was built, operated, and continues to thrive thanks to people just like you. And guess who’s leading the charge? None other than Mr. Ya Nuth, a passionate Cambodian who’s been working his magic in this community since 2008. His mission? To transform local schools and hospitals with a little help from amazing souls like yourself.
In 2013, the Greenway School emerged as a beacon of hope, offering free education to those who otherwise might not have had the chance. You see, these students attend public school for just three hours a day, where they barely scratch the surface of English. But the magic happens when they come to our school during their free time. They come voluntarily, and they love every minute of it.
Our classrooms might look traditional, but we’re all about embracing your creativity when it comes to teaching. Just remember to stay within the curriculum’s boundaries and timeline. Teamwork makes the dream work, and you’ll be working alongside local teachers and fellow participants. It’s like a dynamic teaching squad, with opportunities for small group interactions and one-on-one support when needed.
Before you dive into the action, there is an orientation session to help you get acquainted with your teaching team and the specifics of your assignment. Our pace is set to ensure comprehensive coverage of the material and sticking to the schedule is key. No skipping ahead here. Everyone follows the curriculum, giving students the best shot at nailing weekly progress tests and year-end assessments.
These amazing kids hail from Pul village and five other nearby villages, spanning ages 6 to 15. English might not be their strong suit yet, but with our structured curriculum, we cater to beginners and up to level 5. Class sizes range from cozy 10-student setups to lively groups of 30. And while we’ve got the basics covered with whiteboards and flashcards, feel free to bring your own teaching goodies or donate some to our school.
Your generosity opens up exciting teaching possibilities!
Now, let’s talk transport. You’ll be cruising to and from your accommodations and the school on bicycles – a local touch that adds to the adventure!
So, what’s on your teaching agenda? It revolves around English, of course! Your mission includes prepping awesome English lesson plans, guiding these eager minds through English lessons, and conducting those all-important weekly progress tests. But there’s more to it than that. You can also sprinkle in some basic hygiene tips and share your unique experiences and cultural background.
Here are the big-picture goals:
1. Light up the educational future of village children.
2. Arm them with the knowledge to create brighter lives.
3. Get hands-on teaching experience you’ll cherish.
4. Foster a cultural exchange that broadens horizons.
5. Give our local staff an extra pair of helping hands.
