AUPP Liger Leadership Academy teaches Bespoke Curriculum, Advanced Placement (AP) for students aged 11 to 18.

Curriculum
Liger Leadership Academy delivers an English‑immersion, STEAM‑oriented programme for Grades 7–12 that blends core “Essentials” (English language arts, Khmer literacy, math and science) with nine‑week, project‑based “Explorations,” extensive after‑school “Extensions” and explicit leadership competencies. Grades 7–8 include short, introductory Advanced Enrichments (pass/fail), while Grades 11–12 offer “Expertise” internships and elective, credit‑earning opportunities that do not affect GPA. Academic credits are earned in Grades 9–12 only. Graduation requires a minimum of 30 credits across defined areas (for example Science 5.5, Math 4, Khmer 4, English 4) and a Grade‑12 Impact Project with a reflective essay. Liger's high‑school diploma is formally recognised by Cambodia's Ministry of Education and qualifies students for Cambodian university admission, and graduates have sought recognition or admission internationally. Student progress is tracked with internationally recognised assessments and options for overseas entry, including MAP and WIDA assessments, Advanced Placement coursework/exams and the SAT and/or IELTS.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Submit the enrolment form
Complete the official registration or enrolment form online or using the downloadable version. Prepare the required documents listed by the school, including the student’s birth certificate or passport, parents’ ID or family book, and previous school report cards or transcripts. The AUPP Liger site also asks for two 4 × 6 cm photographs, so keep both digital and printed copies ready.

2. Await admissions confirmation
After submission, the admissions team will contact you to confirm your application and explain the next steps, including where to send supporting documents. This is the time to ask about deadlines, boarding options, and any missing paperwork. Monitor email and Telegram closely, as the school uses these channels for official communication.

3. Prepare and submit supporting documents
Be ready to provide copies of the student’s birth certificate, passport or national ID, parents’ ID or family book, and official school reports or transcripts. Originals or certified copies may be requested later. If the student has medical records or learning support needs, prepare these for discussion during the interview.

4. Attend interviews and any assessments
Admissions decisions are based on school records and interviews with the student and family. Some applicants may also be asked to complete additional academic assessments or attend a trial or observation day. The school indicates that an admission decision is usually made within one week of the student interview.

5. Review fees and offer details
If a place is offered, review the tuition, capital, registration, and boarding fees carefully. Published materials list annual tuition and separate one-time and boarding fees, but figures may vary across documents, so confirm the current amounts and payment schedule directly with Admissions before paying.

6. Confirm boarding and fee-freeze conditions
For boarding applicants, review the full and weekly boarding options. The school states that tuition and residential fees may be frozen until graduation for certain intakes, so confirm whether this applies to your child and request written confirmation in the offer or acceptance documents.

7. Complete acceptance and enrolment
After receiving the acceptance letter, follow the instructions to submit required forms, fees, and any health or insurance information. Keep copies of all correspondence and receipts, and confirm the start date and academic schedule so you can plan travel and preparations.

8. Clarify finances and support options
If you need clarification on fees or wish to explore sponsorship or scholarship options, contact the admissions office before accepting the offer.

Scholarships
Historically Liger operated as a residential scholarship program that selected economically, educationally or geographically disadvantaged students for full residential support. Since 2024 the organisation has described a transition to a fee-paying annual intake supported by the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP).
