I am Ivy Marie Acla from Philippines. I’ve been living in Cambodia for 10 years. A little about me, I am Bachelor of Elementary Education graduate with license in the Philippines. My educational career, I’ve been a Teacher for Pre-School and Primary students for solid 9 years and been operational school managers for 5 years. I also had an experience to create a curriculum program for Autism and an opportunity to work for Autism kids in 2 years. My experiences working with people on the spectrum has led me to believe that we, as a society, need to develop a deeper understanding of autism, as well as empathize better with those living with the disorder. After all, we need to learn to accept differences in all people, helping others without judgment or uninformed bias. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”-Nelson Mandela. This quote is the core reasoning that I want to work in an Educational Institution. I am extremely proud to be a part of this amazing school community! I believe that I get this great opportunity each and every day at Forest Hills International School. My job, ultimately, is to help every child find success and it is through the collaborative efforts of parents, staff and students that we get to make this happen! Thanks for your support as we find success for EVERY child!

I have had the pleasure of teaching in and becoming part of the school management for over 10 years and find great pleasure in seeing children and young learners challenged to grow and became the best they can be. I would love the opportunity to share my experience to you. I am extremely thankful to be part of Forest Hill International School. I have lived and worked in Cambodia since 2018. I was born in Manila, Philippines. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at St. Dominic Savio College in 2010. After graduating, I went on to become the Psychometrician for two years. I was drawn by the culture and history of Cambodia, so I decided to come and teach back in 2012. Upon my return to the Philippines in 2013, I realized that teaching was not only the career path that I wanted to follow, but something I was very passionate about. I decided to take Continuing Professional Education whilst working as the Officer in charge for Guidance, Testing, Counseling, and Placement Office and also teaching College students in the Philippines. I decided to move back in Cambodia in 2018 to teach full time. Over the course of teaching in Cambodia, I have taught in Early years’ program and Primary level. In my free time I enjoy reading, drawing and painting as I have a keen interest in Arts and Design, History, and Geography. I love travelling with my family when I can and experiencing the areas of outstanding natural beauty, the culture and historical sites that Cambodia has to offer. I am very positive on this educational journey with Forest Hill International School, and I believe that FHIS offers a sophisticated, well-structured and dynamic approach to education.
