About international schools in Cambodia

British-curriculum international schools in Cambodia are concentrated mainly in Phnom Penh with smaller British-style campuses in Siem Reap and other regional centres; they typically deliver the English National Curriculum or Early Years Foundation Stage in the younger years and move into Cambridge IGCSEs and AS/A-Levels (with some schools also offering Pearson Edexcel pathways). Instruction is almost always in English, with Khmer taught as a required or offered language and many schools also offering Mandarin, French or other modern languages. Annual tuition levels vary widely by campus and programme, but a typical Phnom Penh international-school tuition sits around KHR 24,600,000, with most schools charging roughly between KHR 16,400,000 and KHR 43,800,000; expect additional one-off and recurring costs for enrolment/capital fees, transport, uniforms and exam charges. Admissions run on a largely rolling basis with an August intake as the busiest point in the year, so relocating families usually start enquiries several months ahead and should be prepared for remote assessment, waiting lists and modest year-on-year fee increases as schools professionalise.

FAQs for Cambodia

What does “British curriculum” mean in a Cambodian international school?
In Cambodia a British curriculum usually means provision of the English National Curriculum frameworks in Early Years and primary, followed by Cambridge International programmes in lower and upper secondary leading to IGCSEs (Years 10 - 11) and AS/A-Levels (Years 12 - 13); some schools combine National Curriculum content with international syllabuses or offer bespoke British-style programmes. Cambridge Assessment International Education is the common exam route, while a minority of schools are introducing or offering Pearson Edexcel qualifications alongside Cambridge.
How much should I budget for fees and extra costs?
Tuition varies by school and level, but in Phnom Penh a representative annual tuition figure is about KHR 24,600,000, with many schools charging between about KHR 16,400,000 and KHR 43,800,000; nursery and early-years fees are generally lower while sixth-form fees are often at the top of a school’s scale. On top of tuition expect one-off enrolment or capital fees, exam fees, uniforms, meals, transport and extracurricular charges, and factor in modest annual fee increases when planning your budget.
When should we apply if we’re relocating to Cambodia?
Most international schools in Cambodia operate rolling admissions but the main intake is at the start of the academic year in August, so start enquiries several months before your planned arrival to secure assessments, visit slots and a place on waiting lists. Many schools will carry out interviews and basic assessments remotely and will ask for previous school reports, proof of vaccination and identity documents as part of the application.
What languages are used and will my child learn Khmer?
English is the language of instruction in British-curriculum international schools, but nearly all schools include Khmer lessons - either as a taught subject or through a dual-curriculum route for Cambodian nationals - while many schools also offer Mandarin, French or other modern languages as options. If maintaining or developing Khmer is important, check each school’s published language policy and weekly lesson allocation because provision and intensity vary widely.
What should parents look for when comparing British-curriculum schools in Cambodia?
Compare the school’s authorised curriculum and exam boards (for example Cambridge or Edexcel), recent inspection or accreditation status, safeguarding and child-protection policies, the language programme and how much Khmer is taught, and practical matters such as campus location, class sizes and additional costs. Also ask about university or careers guidance for older pupils, the qualifications of teaching staff and whether the school is an authorised exam centre for IGCSE/A-Levels - all of which materially affect outcomes and day-to-day fit for an expatriate family.
