History

Cambodia Adventist School is the only kindergarten through to 12th grade Seventh-day Adventist school accredited in Cambodia. The school began in 1995, and was previously called "Cambodia Adventist Primary School" (CAPS), but was changed a couple of years later.[7] In 1995 it opened with two teachers and about 30 students in kindergarten through to 2nd grade.[8] The next year it expanded to include K-5. Another grade was added each year until 2004 when the first class graduated. The elementary school was accredited in 2004 and the high school was given accreditation in 2005.[7] CAS is taught in English and is a boarding school. As of 2005, Cambodia Adventist School has 21 teachers and 330 students.[2][8]
