Champey Academy students working hard to perfect their skills on May 6, 2020.

Assistant painting teacher, Sopheak, is working on a very large painting of Hanuman, the monkey king, as he attempts to woo the mermaid, Sovanamacha.

Our assistant male dance teacher, Ly Hour, helps young student, Pharith, to perfect his style. Pharith has been studying dance at Champey Academy for one year now. On Pharith’s right is our male dance teacher, Thy Sinak, demonstrating proper form for his young students.

The walls of our music classroom are padded with foam packing sheets and the windows are blocked to spare our neighbors from listening to the sounds of some of our beginner music students first learning to play their instruments. The room is dark but the upside for the music students is that this is the only classroom space at Champey which enjoys air conditioning. Cool!
