Library
Both HOPE school locations in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh have growing libraries available to our families. The Learning Hub at HOPE Phnom Penh is a welcoming space where students can settle into beanbags, couches, cushions or at tables to read, study and collaborate together. We have an expanding collection of fiction and non-fiction books for all ages, graphic novels, biographies, picture books, beginning readers, board books, DVDs and Christian living books as we aim to serve the educational and recreational needs of our HOPE families. The Library at HOPE Siem Reap also incorporates their computer lab.

Student Support Team
​The Student Support Team (SST) provides a way for parents, teachers and students to communicate concerns and access resources to help foster a student’s growth. SST’s aim is to work with students in their development in becoming who God created them to be.

SST is committed to supporting students holistically, addressing their mental, spiritual, physical, behavioural, social and emotional needs in a confidential environment. The SST adopt a collaborative approach, bringing together a range of professional skills and gifts, and work alongside teachers, support staff and families.

Please email us if you have any questions or would like further information about HOPE’s Student Support Team.

Extra Curricular Programs
HOPE offers an extracurricular program to help foster the personal development and skill base of our students and has developed an extracurricular program to which our students can subscribe. Each semester a new program of activities is distributed. These activities are held outside of school hours, either at lunchtime, or after school, and run for approximately 10 weeks. The activities are run by the teaching staff, parents and volunteers and as such the choices on offer differ somewhat from semester to semester according to the skill set of those providing the service. Extra-curricular clubs may include: music tuition, sports coaching, cooking classes, or art/craft activities.
Lunch Catering
HOPE offers daily lunches and tea time snacks with a fusion of Western and Khmer flavors through Century 9 Inspired Eatery (C9) in Phnom Penh. The menu is updated monthly.
 
Snack and lunch cards are available for purchase directly from C9 via ABA or Cash. C9 sells cards at pickup and drop off several times throughout the week. Snacks are $1.50 each and lunches are $3.50 for regular size and $2.75 for small (small is generally aimed at students age 8 and under).  
 
Other students bring a packed lunch and dine together in the shaded outdoor dining area. Filtered water is available at all times.
