At Paragon ISC Primary School we are committed to ensuring that we meet the National Curriculum requirements as well as the Cambridge Primary International Curriculum requirements. We aim to provide a broad range of worthwhile curricular opportunities that cater to the interests, aptitudes, and particular needs of students, and to ensure progression in students’ learning.

Throughout the educational program, we want to work toward a greater understanding and awareness of diverse cultures, races, and creeds, and to make sure all students have the same opportunities regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic status.

We have always believed in the significance of rich primary school experiences. Therefore, we seek to build learning opportunities around inspiring and stimulating activities. Students start understanding community service and involvement in social activities through the Paragon Student Council from early years.

There is a wide range of subjects offered in both Bilingual and International classes:

• Cambridge Mathematics
• Mathematics (Khmer)
• Modern Languages: Chinese
• English
• Language and Literature (Khmer)
• Science
• Science (Khmer)
• Design and Technology: Robotics and ICT
• Creative Arts and Music classes
• Cambridge Global Perspectives

Paragon International School focuses on the individual well-being of students. It doesn’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach, so teachers are highly encouraged to differentiate their instruction, curriculum, & materials to promote meaningful learning for every student.
Providing learning support for students with diverse learning needs is one of the vital components to ensure the quality of the school. In this regard, the Learning Support Department works in collaboration with all stakeholders of the school – teachers, teaching assistance, parents and the wider community to ensure that the individual needs of each referred student are met. One of the many services provided by the department is in-house training for teachers and teaching assistants on the topics of understanding learning differences and giving the right type of intervention. In this respect, the department has been organizing awareness campaigns, such as “Dyslexia Awareness Week” and “Understanding ADHD” that turned into annual events for teachers, parents and students.
Members in the learning support department try to stay updated with the latest interventions and strategies to support students with special needs. All members of the department have taken courses on understanding special educational needs, such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism and what approaches work best in teaching students with such conditions.
Additionally, Paragon International School is one of the member schools of SENIAC Local Chapter (Special Educational Needs in Asia) and benefits from the resources of the wider community to give evidence-based interventions. The representatives of more than 20 International schools have attended the PD that was held in North Bridge International School to exchange the latest intervention approaches.

Paragon ISC provides access to diverse and inclusive opportunities for students who wish to embrace the challenge of pursuing academic excellence, develop social and intellectual skills and gain fulfilment through our wide range of activities. Here are some examples of co-curricular activities: STEM Festivals, Subject Weeks, Spelling Bee, Quiz Show, Culture and Education Festival, PTC, subject-wise field trips and many more.

Homeroom teacher
Homeroom teachers are essential for both students and parents in bridging any concerns relating to academics, social well-being, and administration matters. They are guides for students and serve to support and inspire the students in their academic and character development.
Parents will receive invitations to Parent Telegram Groups and contact them for any request.

SIS APP – Student Information System
The ParagonISC APP has been developed as a downloadable application for both Android and IOS platforms. Parents and students are provided with usernames that enable them to:
Receive notifications about their child’s attendance;
Follow up on academic performance;
Check the medical, library and behaviour records;
Kept posted on the latest news;
Receive information about remaining tuition fees;
Have access to other resourceful materials.

PTC
Teachers and parents gather twice a year for Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTCs) in order to discuss student achievements and inform parents about school programs and events. This provides a forum for teachers, parents, and, at times, students to discuss academics and social development.

During PTCs, parents have the opportunity to ask questions and get clarity over any concerns or queries they may have about their child’s education or the school’s administrative process.
It’s a time as well for teachers to share relevant information about the student and calibrate expectations. A Parent-Teacher Conference is one of many ways that students, parents, and schools are committed to the success and welfare of their students.

We place the safety and security of our students at the forefront of everything we do. All of our students and staff are regularly trained so that they are well prepared and can respond accordingly to any dangerous situations. Fire and lockdown drills are conducted every term to ensure that our students and staff are prepared to respond to emergencies.

Additionally, Paragon ISC has contracted with a private security company for security guards to ensure the safety of the school environment. The security guards monitor who enters and leaves the school daily, as well as monitor security camera footage.

Students who have lost their items should report to the Secondary Campus Manager for assistance in the recovery of the lost item.

Safeguarding and Child Protection

We require our teachers and support staff to participate in Child Protection training that focuses on protecting children from abuse, exploitation, and neglect. It promotes the health and welfare of children and young people helping them to grow up in a safe and supportive environment.

Student Wellbeing

As a Paragon ISC student, your well-being is of paramount importance to us, and we strive to ensure you are nurtured in safe and effective conditions. If you have any concerns, please contact your homeroom or welfare coordinator. You can also report it anonymously using online platforms.
