SACE International is delighted to announce its latest partnership with the Australia Cambodia Education Academy (AusCam), marking the introduction of South Australian senior secondary education in Cambodia for the first time. The partnership expands SACE International’s global school network, offering Cambodian students the opportunity to experience a world-class education and a pathway to leading universities in Australia and beyond.

AusCam, located in Phnom Penh, is renowned for its commitment to excellence in education for students aged 3 to 18 years. Through this partnership, AusCam students can complete the globally recognised SACE qualification alongside the Cambodian high school certificate. The SACE curriculum is designed to prepare students for success in the 21st century. Different from the traditional models, 70% of the final grade for each subject is derived from coursework, projects, and collaborative activities, reducing reliance on a single final examination.

SACE graduates gain a robust qualification which sets them up to thrive and succeed. With a globally recognised certificate, Cambodian students will be well-positioned for placements at leading universities worldwide.

"SACE has been taught successfully for more than 40 years internationally across the Asia Pacific region. Over 40,000 SACE International students have graduated since 1982. The SACE qualification is transforming education globally, and we are thrilled to be expanding into Cambodia for the first time."

"SACE offers a different style of teaching and learning. The curriculum equips students not only with deep academic knowledge but also critical skills for success at university, in their careers, and in life—skills such as adaptability, flexibility, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These life skills help students advance on their journey to higher education and career success, whether in Cambodia, Australia, or beyond."
