History

Aii Language Center (Aii) is a subsidiary of the Mengly J. Quach Education [3] and a sister company of American Intercon School. [4] It was founded by Mengly Jandy Quach in Phnom Penh in 2005. [5] It started with only 20 students in 2005 [6] and by 2022, Aii has over 9,000 students studying in 6 campuses in Phnom Penh, one campus in Siem Reap and one campus in Takeo and over 50,000 alumni. [7]

Aii Language Center requires staff and teachers to have a professional persona with high morality in order to provide education for all their students. Students are also instilled with a sense of respect, morality and dignity. [8]

During Covid-19 period

Since the pandemic began, most schools did not have enough tuition fees to cover paying wages, rents, utilities and interest on loans and they would have to suspend their operations. Rental fees were the biggest issue, and while there were some supports from the government and financial institutions, these simply were not enough. As an educational institution, funding requires more than just solely the tuition fee. It also relied on the school bus, food, uniforms, books and other administration fees to support the business model. [9] [10]

Like other private schools, Aii was struggling with financial hardship during Covid-19 period. In a meeting of Cambodian Higher Education Association, Mengly J. Quach stated that he tried to negotiate with the building owner, while other school owners have also attempted similar negotiations without any success. Thus, numerous private schools in Cambodia were expected to go bankrupt since many of them took loans to open their schools. [11]

During the COVID-19 pandemic which hit hard on Cambodia and its education sector, Aii continued its distant teaching activities. It plans to expand its campus to Siem Reap which will be its first provincial campus. [12]

School life

Aii offers a holistic approach in learning a second language with the integration of 21st Century skills, the Common European Framework of References, and various activities offered to students. Students engage in fun-filled learning activities and learn from innovative series of textbooks and supporting resources. Aii Language Center teaches the importance of sportsmanship and challenges students to strive for the best through the Mengly J. Quach Spelling Bee Contest, the Mengly J. Quach Pronunciation Contest, the Mengly J. Quach WordSpeed Contest, Sports & Athletics Competitions, Field Trips, Oversea Trips and Activities. [13] One of the most successful activities is "Talents for a Cause", where students of Aii Language Center and American Intercon School put on a special talent show and the proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the MJQ Foundation. [14]

Campuses

Aii Language Center is operating six campuses in six different areas of the Phnom Penh while one more campus will be opened in Siem Reap:
