JPA integrates social and emotional learning (SEL) across its programs from preschool through high school. The Preschool program explicitly states that it develops cognitive, social-emotional, and English language skills, and emphasizes teaching children to share, cooperate, and navigate peer interactions. The extracurricular program offers a wide range of activities that foster teamwork, leadership, creativity, and well-rounded development. The Student Council provides student leadership roles, supporting peer relations and responsibility. Collectively, these elements reflect an embedded SEL approach that supports students' social and emotional growth across the student body.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, staff, or facilities. The publicly accessible pages do not specify SEN support, staffing, or dedicated services. There is no indication that JPA is a specialist SEN institution. No details about assessment methods, individualized education plans, or inclusive practices are provided.
The curriculum includes English language instruction as part of its core program across levels. In Preschool, English language skills are taught as part of early literacy and language development. In High School, the English program focuses on advanced reading, writing, and communication, including AP English Language and Composition. There is no publicly described separate EAL department or program; English language development appears integrated into the standard curriculum rather than a standalone EAL program.
No formal, standalone mental wellbeing program is publicly disclosed. However, social-emotional development is explicitly addressed in Preschool. The Extracurriculars program and the Student Council offer activities and leadership opportunities that support social connections and well-being. Together these elements indicate a holistic, SEL-informed approach to student well-being across the school.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding or child-protection policies.
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.
