Reviews
- Parents describe a school that has scaled fast (over 1,000 students across two campuses) while keeping a community feel and an emphasis on character and leadership alongside academics.
- WASC accreditation plus Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level authorisation give the academic route legitimacy in a Phnom Penh market where that is uneven.
- Teachers describe a school with sound values but a relatively junior international staff, and salaries reflect that compared with peer international schools in the region.
- A 2018 account from a teaching candidate noted disorganised interview admin, which was the only structural negative reported.
Positives
- Growth with retained community feel. Parents describe Footprints as keeping a personal feel despite expanding to two campuses and over 1,000 students.
- Accreditation and curriculum. WASC accredited; offers Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level alongside an English-Khmer dual track.
Considerations
- Teacher experience level. Glassdoor review notes teaching staff skew junior, with salaries to match.
- Admin polish. Older candidate report described a disorganised interview process.
