The current campus in Daun Penh is adequate for our requirements for this year and the 2008 / 2009 school year but not for the years after these. We were hoping that a second campus in this area would be available for us. However, the property market is changing rapidly and we doubt that we would find a suitably sized campus for the rental that our fees allow us to pay.

We have been offered a new campus in Boeng Keng Kang 3.

 

Most of our E.S.L. students live in or near the Daun Penh area and most attend national schools when they are not attending East-West. It did not seem right to ask these students to move and we also wanted to continue to teach these students as we have built up good relationships with them and are enjoying them and the progress they are making.

For these reasons, we have decided that East-West English School, will continue to operate at the current campus. East-West General Education School will move to the new campus.

This school will have its own administrative. We are delighted that Mr. Larry Iannucci will lead and develop this new school which will focus on bringing the best E.S.L. teaching to our students. Mr. Larry has been teaching our older E.S.L. students for nearly two years. He is a trained E.S.L. teacher who is an American. He has had experience in both marketing and management.

The teachers will be English first language speakers who can teach in creative ways and who will encourage the students to listen, speak, and write. Comprehension will also be a vital part of the program.

This school will keep the name East-West for about 6 months when it will introduce its own name to reflect the goals and vision of this school.
