The Best International Schools in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The number of expats moving to Phnom Penh is on the rise, and so is the demand for quality international schools for their children.
These days, just about every school in Cambodia calls themselves an “International School”. It can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. How can you tell the difference between a real international school and an English school in Phnom Penh masquerading as one?
Stevo and I taught and managed at schools in Phnom Penh, Cambodia from 2015-2018. While we won’t claim to know everything, we have a good pulse on the reputations of the schools in the city and can share what we do know. From our experience and what we have heard from our network of friends, these are the best international schools in Phnom Penh.
Likewise, if you are a teacher and looking to work for an international school in Phnom Penh, these are some of the best.
Working in Asia: Yoga Teacher
In early 2017 Stevo and I spent a weekend at Eden Eco Village in Kampot, Cambodia. Both mornings we were there I was the only student in Chardé’s 7 AM yoga class on the deck above the river. We chatted before and after class and I learned that she was there on a work-trade, staying and eating for free in exchange for teaching yoga and serving food. She also runs an awesome yoga website, Namasté Con Chardé. Chardé’s story opened our eyes to these types of work-trade opportunities, and we knew we had to share it with you!

We love learning about what other travelers do to earn money on the road and live out their desired lifestyle. Many people dream about traveling full-time, but it’s not always as easy as it sounds!

That’s why we started this Working in Asia series! We interview expats in Asia to learn how they earn enough money to live and travel full-time.
In this interview, Akshata shares what it’s like to work as a Divemaster in Goa, India. She delves into the nitty-gritty including the lifestyle, what it pays to work at a diving center, and where in India she did her PADI Divemaster course training.
