The school was founded by Daniel and Karen Pritzker in 2005 to provide world-class education to rural Cambodian students. The campus opened in September 2008 as a co-educational day school near Tachet, Siem Reap. In 2011–2012, JPA began operating as a Pre-K–12 school.
Jay Pritzker Academy (JPA) is a Pre-K–12 day school located in Puok District, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia. The campus sits on eleven hectares of gardens near Tachet Village, about 30 minutes west of Siem Reap, and is surrounded by rice paddies, sugar palms, and water not far from local farms. All JPA students are selected from local villages and receive full academic scholarships, enabling access to a rigorous international college‑preparatory curriculum. The school's high school program offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses from grades 9–12, with a continued emphasis on English‑language instruction and strong STEM offerings. The campus features two state‑of‑the‑art science laboratories and a full slate of K–12 extracurriculars. The school year runs from August to June, following the international school calendar. The program includes Preschool, Elementary, and High School, with English as the language of instruction and Khmer studies as a subject in the lower grades. The principal is Ryan Ahlers, who leads a staff delivering AP coursework and a broad range of subjects designed to prepare students for admission to top universities worldwide.
