(Phnom Penh): AUPP Liger Leadership Academy is proud to announce the expansion of its educational pathway with the launch of its new outstanding Primary School. By utilising the innovative world-class Victorian 2.0 Curriculum, this exciting development strengthens the Academy’s commitment to providing a future-focused, world leading education that nurtures curiosity, digital literacy, leadership, creativity, and academic excellence from the earliest years of learning.

Designed to prepare children not only for academic success but also for life in an increasingly global and rapidly changing world, the world-renowned Primary programme combines rigorous international standards with inquiry-based learning, innovation, and character development.

“At AUPP Liger Leadership Academy, we believe education should inspire children to become confident learners, digital-driven professionals, compassionate leaders, ethical entrepreneurs, and creative problem-solvers,” said Ms. Janet Tartaglia, the Academy Director. “The Victorian Curriculum 2.0 Framework provides a strong academic foundation while allowing students to develop the critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills they need to thrive in the future.”

Why the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 Framework?

The Victorian Curriculum 2.0 Framework, developed in Australia, is recognized internationally for its modern, student-centred approach to education. It emphasizes both academic achievement and the development of essential human capabilities that empower children to succeed beyond the classroom. Practically unique amongst primary schools, the curriculum includes Technology, Economics, Entrepreneurship, and Business, alongside the more traditional subjects

Key strengths of the curriculum include:

Strong Foundations in Literacy and Numeracy

Students develop deep skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and communication through engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences that build confidence and mastery from an early age.

Critical and Creative Thinking

The curriculum encourages children to ask questions, explore ideas, solve problems, and think independently — preparing them for the demands of the 21st century.

Inquiry-Based and Experiential Learning

Students learn through discovery, projects, collaboration, and real-world connections that make learning meaningful, relevant, and exciting.
