Location

East–West International School is on Street 143 in Boeung Keng Kang 3 (BKK3), Phnom Penh; the website gives the address as

131 Street 143 (corner of Streets 360 and 143). The school describes itself as centrally located in the BKK3 neighbourhood and is reachable via Phnom Penh's main roads and local taxi/moto services.

Stages

The school runs from Early Years (Nursery/Pre‑K) through Primary and Secondary up to Grade 12, with the campus organised into Early Years, Primary and Secondary departments. Students follow IEYC/IPC/IMYC in younger years and Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A Level programs in Secondary; the site confirms classes from Nursery to Grade 12.

Type

EWIS operates as a bilingual Khmer–English day school; teachers deliver both Khmer and English instruction and families can choose the bilingual pathway or an English‑only program. The school is described as a co‑educational day school on third‑party school directories; no boarding provision is published on the school website.

Additional learning support

The school asks parents to provide medical records where relevant (for example, “in the case of learners with special needs”) and encourages parents to meet with management to discuss enrolment and individual needs. The website/handbook does not publish a detailed public learning‑support (SEN) policy, so parents should contact admissions to discuss specific support, assessment or external therapy arrangements.

Country affiliation

The school is based in Cambodia and is registered with the Cambodian Ministry of Education; it also follows international curricula and holds external accreditation (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and offers Cambridge examinations. There is no single foreign country governing the school—its curricula and accreditations are a mix of Cambodian and international (Cambridge/WASC).

Religious affiliation

No religious affiliation is stated on the school website or handbook; the school presents itself as a secular, non‑religious institution.

School day structure

Published hours vary by level. The Early Years page lists a typical Early Years day as 7:30am–2:45pm with a detailed session breakdown; the parent handbook gives more granular school‑hour times (e.g. Nursery/Preschool: 7:30–11:00; Kindergarten–Grade 5: 7:30–2:30; some Secondary groups have earlier start or later finish times). Because different pages publish slightly different timings by program, please confirm current daily start/finish times for your child's year group with the school.

Bus service

The school lists transportation as a separate fee item in admissions information (fees for transportation are charged separately), and third‑party school directories note that a school bus service is available. The school website does not name a single transport provider or publish routes; if you need bus pickup/drop‑off, contact the admissions office for current routes, costs and the provider's safety/operating details.

Type

Private international day school. No boarding facilities are listed.

Additional learning support

Country affiliation

No country affiliation is stated; the school operates in Cambodia with Cambridge/IEYC curricula.

Religious affiliation

No religious affiliation is indicated.

School day structure

Opening hours are 8:00 AM–4:30 PM Monday to Friday, and 8:00 AM–4:30 PM on Saturdays.

Bus service

A school bus service is not advertised on Brightstar's site; no transportation arrangements are listed.

Application fees

- An application fee is required as part of the admission process.

Tuition fees by year group

- The school does not publish a detailed, year-group-by-year-group tuition schedule on its publicly available Fees page.
- An independent school listing reports an indicative annual tuition range of USD 5,390 to USD 6,500 for Brightstar International School of Phnom Penh. This range should be treated as an external estimate rather than a formally published fee schedule.
- A separate short-course (summer programme) fee has been published as USD 550 for a four-week programme; this fee relates to that specific programme rather than to the standard academic-year tuition.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's publicly accessible Fees page does not provide a published billing schedule, term/semester breakdown, or standard payment terms for tuition (for example: dates, instalment options, or late-payment penalties). Parents should note that a current, detailed billing timetable is not available in the school's published fees material.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Brightstar operates as a day school and does not publish any boarding provision or boarding fees; facilities and opening hours are presented for day operation. No boarding fees are published.

Other costs and fees

- The school's admission procedures list required application steps and an application fee but do not list specific amounts for ancillary costs such as uniforms, meals, activity or capital fees, assessment fees, school transport, or learning-resource charges. No comprehensive list of additional chargeable items is published on the Fees page.
- Separate programmes and short courses (for example, the summer programme) may have distinct programme fees (USD 550 for the 4‑week summer course as reported).

Refund information

- No published refund policy or tuition-refund terms appear on the school's publicly available Fees page or admission procedure pages. No specific refund amounts, conditions, or timelines are published.

Fee payment options

- The school provides contact phone numbers and an email address for enquiries and payments, but the Fees page and contact pages do not publish accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer details, credit-card acceptance, or online payment platforms). Parents should use the school contact details to confirm specific payment methods and account details.

Summary of findings and gaps in published information

- The school requires an application fee and operates as a day school.
- A third-party listing gives an indicative annual tuition range of USD 5,390–6,500; a separate listing shows a USD 550 summer-programme fee. These items are external estimates or programme-specific figures rather than a full, itemised, official fee schedule.
- The school's official Fees page does not publish the detailed, per‑year-group tuition amounts, per‑term breakdowns, billing schedule, payment terms, a list of additional optional/compulsory fees, or a refund policy. Because a complete, current fee schedule per year group and the billing/payment details are not published, there is insufficient official public data to produce the full per-term and per-year fee breakdown requested.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school emphasizes social and emotional development and maintains a caring, inclusive learning community. SEL-related support is reflected in pastoral care integrated into the curriculum and school life. The school expresses its SEL orientation through values on the homepage, including Service, Tolerance, Aspiration, and Respect, which promote respectful relationships and well-being. Student well-being is supported by a full-time School Nurse and trained first-aiders, with a licensed lifeguard for swimming. Information on students' medical and behavioural history is collected during Parent Orientation to tailor support.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

SEN information is collected at Parent Orientation, including medical and behavioural history; examples of SEN include speech or developmental delays, ADHD, and autism. The published materials specify these SEN examples but do not provide details on the scope of SEN services or staff. BISPP's Code of Conduct emphasizes inclusion and accommodation of diversity, including disability. Safeguarding and pupil welfare are integrated into staff practices as part of the Code of Conduct. A School Nurse and first-aid staff exist to address general health needs, though explicit SEN-specific medical support is not described.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English is the language of instruction, with Khmer literacy taught weekly and Chinese offered as an additional language. English is the medium for all subjects, creating an inclusive and cohesive community. There is no explicit EAL program described in BISPP's publicly posted documents. Khmer literacy aligns with the Cambodian national curriculum, and Chinese is offered as an additional language. If families require EAL-specific support, published materials do not detail dedicated EAL services.

Mental Wellbeing

The school highlights emotional development and a safe, inclusive environment for students. Pastoral care is referenced as part of student welfare in the Health and Safety Policy. A School Nurse is on staff, supported by trained first-aiders and a licensed lifeguard for swimming. The school's core values—Service, Tolerance, Aspiration, and Respect—support positive relationships and wellbeing. Orientation activities collect medical and behavioural history to help monitor and address wellbeing needs.

Safeguarding

Staff must comply with duties to promote safety and welfare and to observe child protection policies as outlined in the Code of Conduct. BISPP has a formal Complaints Policy to handle concerns, including safeguarding considerations. The Complaints Policy outlines informal and formal stages, timelines, and confidentiality. The Health and Safety Policy requires safety practices and welfare for students and staff, including safeguarding. The presence of a School Nurse and trained first-aiders contributes to safeguarding by ensuring medical support on campus.

Admissions

1. Stage 1 – Application submission and document check. The applicant completes and signs the BISPP admission form and submits it along with supporting documents: a copy of the family book, the parent's passport or identification document, the student's birth certificate or passport, three recent passport‑sized photographs, a copy of the vaccination certificate, copies of previous school reports, and an application fee. The registrar reviews the submission to verify completeness and to determine initial eligibility. Placement of the student at BISPP also follows age‑based criteria aligned to the Cambridge curriculum; parents should consult the Grade Level Placement table to confirm the correct class. This stage establishes whether the application can advance to testing.

Waitlist

2. Stage 2 – Admission test and interview. Applicants proceed to an hour‑long cognitive test, after which an interview is conducted with the academic manager. If the test and interview are successful, the application is accepted; if not, BISPP conducts a communication session with the parents to discuss next steps. The admissions process does not publish a formal waitlist or pool system; all decisions proceed through testing, interview, and document review.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No public, detailed billing schedule (for example term dates with amounts due or installment percentages) or explicit payment terms (deadlines, penalties for late payment) were listed in the material reviewed. Parents should treat the tuition ranges and the one‑time/annual administration fees above as the known cost elements; the school did not publish a specific billing timetable in the sources consulted.

Fee payment options
- Specific, published payment methods (for example bank transfer, credit card, cash, online payment portal) were not listed in the publicly available material. No formal list of accepted payment channels was found.

Summary of sources and data limitations
- The information above is based on recent public listings and expatriate school guides that publish the school's annual fee ranges and the listed one‑time and annual administration fees. The school's publicly accessible material and the guides consulted give annual ranges by section rather than a complete per‑year‑group or per‑term fee schedule, and do not publish billing timetables, payment method details, or refund terms. For clarity: the only specific fee figures consistently published in the sources consulted were the one‑time enrollment fee (USD 100), the annual administration fee (USD 250), and the annual tuition ranges by section noted above.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Treehouse International School emphasizes a holistic approach to learning, where personal, social, emotional, and physical development is as important as academic development. The school's values promote social-emotional maturity, including fairness and equality, respect and care, confidence and independence, and creativity and imagination. The British National Curriculum is adapted to support a multi-national community, helping integrate social and emotional aspects into teaching and learning. In the Early Years, Personal, Social & Emotional Skills are explicitly identified, including self-confidence, self-awareness, managing feelings and behaviours, and making relationships. PSHE is listed as a foundation subject in Primary, reinforcing personal and social development alongside core academic subjects.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Saskia Erasmus, the Head of Early Years & Primary, is from South Africa and is a qualified Early Childhood teacher with a specialism in supporting children with Targeted Needs. The school founders Clive Butler have qualifications to support children with Special Education Needs, including a Masters in Psychology and a recent SEN-related qualification. The school has staff with targeted needs training, including Led, who has an Autism certificate and a Dyslang certificate, indicating capability to support SEN including autism and dyslexia. This suggests SEN support is integrated in the school through staff with targeted needs qualifications rather than a standalone specialist SEN institution. The school is not described as a dedicated SEN institution; SEN support appears embedded within a standard international school structure.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English as an Additional Language (EAL) is supported by dedicated staff. The school lists Robbie as an EAL specialist with a TESOL qualification. Mr Deon serves as Computing / EAL, with TEFL certification and over 10 years of IT experience, indicating cross-cutting EAL support. Led is also listed as an EAL specialist with over 10 years experience working with targeted needs and holds an Autism certificate, a Dyslang certificate, and a Phonics certificate. The school structures EAL provision through specialist teachers and dedicated staff, including multiple EAL roles among the staff.

Mental Wellbeing

Treehouse International School emphasizes holistic development, with personal, social, emotional and physical development treated as important as academics. EYFS lists Personal, Social & Emotional Skills such as self-confidence, self-awareness, managing feelings and relationships. PSHE is a foundation subject in Primary, supporting well-being and social-emotional education. The values emphasize kindness and respect (Fairness and Equality; Respect and Care), which underlie student wellbeing. The site does not publicly disclose information about dedicated mental wellbeing programs beyond the holistic approach.

The site shows contact details for the school and a recruitment page, but there is no dedicated safeguarding policy text visible.
