Global Pathways: Paññāsāstra International School Partners with Global Academy Agency
PHNOM PENH, March 5, 2026 — In a ceremony that marks a major expansion of international opportunities for its students, Paññāsāstra International School (PSIS) has officially entered into a partnership with the Global Academy Agency. The MoU was signed under the distinguished patronage of H.E. Dr. Kol Pheng, Chairman of PSIS and Founder of Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia (PUC), a visionary known for integrating character education with academic excellence.
A Strategic Bridge to the United States
The Global Academy Agency, based in Russey Keo, Phnom Penh, specializes in bridging the gap between Cambodian talent and international academic institutions. This partnership focuses on four transformative pillars:
- Direct Pathways to the USA: Creating a seamless transition for PSIS students to move from Cambodian secondary education into prestigious American high schools and universities.
- Academic & Cultural Exchange: Facilitating programs that allow students to experience American culture firsthand, broadening their perspectives beyond the classroom.
- Faculty Empowerment: Collaborative programs designed to upskill PSIS teachers and administrators, bringing modern international pedagogical standards to the local campus.
- Fostering Global Citizenship: Encouraging mutual understanding and a global mindset, preparing students to become leaders who can navigate diverse cultural and professional landscapes.
Why This Matters for PSIS Families
From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, this MoU is more than just a formal agreement; it is a promise of future security and opportunity.
- Guided Ambition: Navigating US university applications can be overwhelming. This partnership provides students with the expert guidance needed to manage visas, applications, and cultural transitions.
- Global Competency: By exposing students to international standards early on, PSIS is ensuring its graduates are “university-ready” for the rigors of Western academic environments.
- Institutional Quality: The focus on training administrators and teachers means the entire school ecosystem benefits from global best practices.
We congratulate H.E. Dr. Kol Pheng and the leadership at PSIS for their continued commitment to excellence. For the students of Paññāsāstra, the world just got a little smaller, and their futures a lot brighter.
