We combine rigorous academics with meaningful engagement, ensuring that students develop strong multicultural awareness. Our holistic curriculum is delivered by skilled educators and designed to be accessible to all. Invictus utilizes the United Kingdom’s Early Years Foundation Stage (UK EYFS) curriculum for our Nursery and Reception classes—part of the national curriculum used in the UK. This curriculum covers a broad range of learning areas, including communication and language, understanding the world, personal, social and emotional development, physical development, literacy, mathematics, and expressive arts and design.

Our Young Learners Curriculum

Our preschool curriculum is founded on the understanding that every child is unique, constantly learning, and has the potential to be resilient, confident, self-assured, and capable. Each child is given the opportunity to learn through positive relationships and enabling environments, developing self-confidence at their own pace. Teachers observe and understand how each child learns, responding to their needs, interests, and emotions. Children are encouraged to become independent learners, supported by nurturing relationships with their educators.

We recognise that early education plays a formative role in a child’s mental and social development. The curriculum incorporates games and play-based learning, allowing teachers to assess progress and plan the next steps tailored to each individual child. Children thrive in enabling environments where educators and parents work in partnership to ensure learning experiences are responsive to their unique needs.

The UK EYFS curriculum lays a strong foundation for students to transition smoothly into the Cambridge Primary Curriculum. Invictus International School offers a unique bilingual program, allowing learners to study in English alongside Khmer, French, or Mandarin—giving them a competitive edge in today’s globalized world.
