The Experience

Our mission is to teach English to young children in the rural areas with a reasonable price. We mainly focus on helping children who cannot afford an education to be able to study English as normal children do in private schools in the city. We also give a 100% scholarship to the poorest students who can't afford paying. We give the scholarship to students secretly because we don't want other students to get jealous as the majority of the

Volunteering at LBS School was a great experience. The kids were curious, respectful, & excited to learn. I enjoyed leading the teacher trainings & connecting with my fellow English teachers in a fun and meaningful way. The school is in a rural setting, so the accommodation is basic with just a fan, and power or water may cut out during storms, but it is manageable and all part of the experience. Meals are local with a $3 daily budget and optional reimbursement. Salath is passionate and truly committed to creating a space where all kids can thrive. I would love to return someday!

I made friends with the local teachers who are caring and really hard-working, and I have learned a lot about local life in Cambodia - which I'm truly grateful for. The kids are also great and willing to learn (+ there's an adorable dog). A special thanks to teacher Tharith, Binh and Rata. The wifi is good, but it's hard to work remotely with the teaching schedule. So I asked to change my hours - which mostly was ok. The dorms are very basic and running water is not guaranteed. It's a 20 min. walk away from food stalls (remember food is not provided). There's also no bikes.

I had a great time at LBS School. Saleth runs an extensive number of classes with the ambition to elevate the children's language skills are provide them with more career opportunities. He is incredibly passionate and this shows in his commitment to the school. The teachers are hardworking and committed, the children are incredibly driven and eager to learn. The accommodation and school is in a rural location so perfect for someone wanting some quiet time to just focus on volunteering with the opportunity to explore Battambang city at the weekends. Great first experience teaching English!
