Instruction follows a blended learning model, combining self-paced study through the ReanKhmer platform with weekly zoom sessions. The platform enables students to learn and complete assignments independently, while in-class zoom time is dedicated to reinforcing knowledge through review, reflection, and interactive speaking practice.

The course is structured to accommodate learners with diverse backgrounds and experiences, fostering practical communication skills and confidence in real-life contexts.

Our Language School
The Cambodian School is organized by a group of Cambodian teachers, parents, and volunteers from the Cambodian-American Community of Oregon (CACO). Our school, a program under the CACO, was established in 1998 with a small number of student participants, but it has been growing larger every year since its inception.  Today there is a variety of language and cultural classes to accommodate the level of students of different background and ages. Classes are taught by dedicated volunteer teachers and by various discipline experts selected from our community. All of our staffs are committed volunteers who expect nothing in return except for student’s dedication to learning the language and self-determination for success.  Our classrooms are small but with quality instructions. They are designed to help individuals, young or old, who want to succeed in learning Cambodian language and to understand its rich culture.
Mission & Goals
The primary goal of Cambodian school is to help preserve and promote Cambodian language and its rich cultural heritage.  We want to expose our language and our heritage to others.   By teaching the language, we can also help bridge the gap between our younger Cambodian-American generation and their elders with better communication and understanding of one another.  We believe learning about own language, culture and heritage will help individuals to better understand their identity and to take good pride in themselves. Our school is committed to delivering quality learning to read, write, and speak Cambodian language.  We promote fun experience in learning while fostering family and friendly atmosphere throughout school sessions and beyond.
