Admissions

Step 1 — Eligibility and intake: Jay Pritzker Academy selects students every year at the age of four from the rural Puok District in Siem Reap Province. Most entrants come from rice‑farming families and have limited access to medical services and basic infrastructure.

Step 2 — Applicant volume and places: There is a history of high demand relative to capacity, with about 60 available places for new students. In the early years, the school reported around 600 applications for these places, illustrating the competitive nature of admissions. This context underscores the selectivity inherent in the intake process. The school campus is located near Tachet Village, about 30 minutes west of Siem Reap, Cambodiа.

Step 4 — Enrollment and scholarships: Admitted students receive full academic scholarships, providing access to JPA's international curriculum. The scholarship coverage is described as full, supporting the education of children from rural Siem Reap. High school offerings include AP courses, and all high school students enroll in at least one AP class, reflecting the program's college‑preparatory emphasis.
