Various levels of weird on this question. Why would you want a boarding school for your kid in PP - that would imply that the parent is planning to go overseas and leave their kid in Cambodia; who does that - oil rig worker maybe?
I'm putting money on this request actually being a badly dressed up way for a "TEFLer" to find a boarding school in Cambodia "where nobody can hear 10 year old boys scream".
* apologies if you really are an oil rig worker or similar.
Apology accepted.
My Khmer wife and I live in BKK where I work. Our son is struggling in school here as he is the only Khmer kid. His hometown schools are very bad so we thought this might be an option worth investigating.
Damn it Private Pile, now I have to be serious!!
Only Khmer kid in which school- that sounds very odd. All the schools I looked at for my son had lots of Khmer or at least half-Khmer kids. Or by “BKK” you mean Bangkok?! If so I’d be looking more towards Malaysia or Singapore for boarding schools given their British “heritage”.
(If you mean BKK “Boeung Keng Kang, PP) My son is at Learning Jungle up in Toul Kork- a great mixture of Western (Canadian root) education, but they teach Khmer also. It’s a way from BKK, but thoroughly recommended if you need your son to pickup English or Khmer- renting/buying is cheaper than BKK1, moving could be a better option?
I think as Vlad said, if PP/SR is your preferred location whilst you work in Bangkok(?) then trying to find a home to place him, whilst he attends a Cambodian school might be the best bet. Sounds a bit odd, but perhaps at the right price to cover all living costs, a good Khmer friend or family could take care of it? Good luck.
