A group of students from a well-known private school in Banteay Meanchey Province, Cambodia, were randomly selected as a sample for this study. Most of these students' parents work to the best of their lives for their children's education, mainly English education, whether they are employees of Thai businesspeople or business owners in Thailand. Despite frequently communicating in Thai for business purposes, those parents always encourage their children to learn English. Accordingly, educational stakeholders around Cambodia and the globe can benefit from this study by being informed of the student's reflections in general. The study aimed to investigate the attitudes of secondary-level students studying English and the comparison of the attitudes of males and females towards learning English. Mythologically, this study employed a quantitative method and an Independent sample test to compare the students' genders using SPSS 22. The findings indicate that the secondary students highly valued the 5th item on the list provided in the questionnaire, which showed that they positively encouraged all Cambodian students to consider English as the must language to learn. That is why obtaining academic credentials is necessary for those to continue their education after high school, which is likely one of their primary goals. Next, they preferred English to take advantage of the technological advances of the present day. After that, they felt motivated to pursue opportunities to study abroad and acquire English for professional purposes. Remarkably, the survey revealed high confidence that they regarded English as the most essential and desirable subject among all others and could easily use it for all types of communication. Future research should focus on using a mixed method on two or more schools in the province, as the author of this study used a quantitative method on only one school.
