About international schools in Cambodia

Chinese-curriculum international schools in Cambodia are concentrated mainly in Phnom Penh and range from trilingual community schools to full bilingual campuses that combine Mandarin immersion with international programmes such as Cambridge or IB or with the Cambodian national curriculum. Schools commonly teach in Mandarin alongside English and Khmer, with the relative emphasis varying by whether the school follows a Chinese-style programme, a bilingual track, or an international curriculum that includes Chinese language streams. Tuition varies widely - some bilingual or locally oriented international schools publish annual fees under about USD 5,000, while full-service international campuses with Chinese streams can charge into the mid-to-high five-figure range; families should also expect one-off registration or capital levies plus costs for transport, uniforms and exams. The academic year is typically aligned to the international school calendar (terms commonly begin around August) and admissions usually require an application, supporting documents and payment of registration/material fees to hold a place, so families relocating should start enquiries several months before arrival.

FAQs for Cambodia

What does “Chinese curriculum” mean in the Cambodia international-school context?
In Cambodia the term covers several models: schools that deliver a version of the Chinese national curriculum, bilingual Chinese - English programmes, and international campuses that offer Chinese language streams alongside curricula such as Cambridge or IB. The exact academic content and university pathways differ by model, so check whether a school is following the Chinese national syllabus, a bilingual pathway, or an international curriculum with added Mandarin classes.
Which languages will my child learn and which language is used for instruction?
Most schools offering a Chinese curriculum teach Mandarin alongside English and often include Khmer lessons; the primary language of instruction depends on the school’s model. In Chinese-national or heavily bilingual schools more subjects will be taught in Mandarin, whereas international or Cambridge/IB schools typically teach most subjects in English while offering intensive Mandarin classes or a Chinese stream.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Annual tuition published by Cambodian Chinese-stream and bilingual schools varies from roughly under USD 5,000 at more affordable local-international options to well over USD 20,000 - 30,000 at premium international campuses; many schools publish explicit fee schedules. Beyond tuition, families should budget for one-off registration or capital fees, exam and activity costs, uniforms, meals and transport, and any additional language-support or special-needs services a child may require.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Admissions are generally tied to the international school calendar with the main intake before the new school year (terms usually start around August) and many schools publishing next-year fee schedules and place-holding policies in the months beforehand. Typical requirements are a completed application form, birth certificate, previous school reports, an interview or assessment for some grades, and payment of a registration or material fee to secure a place.
Will a Chinese-curriculum school in Cambodia prepare my child for university in China or elsewhere?
That depends on the programme: schools following the Chinese national curriculum or offering Chinese upper-secondary qualifications tend to align with Chinese higher-education pathways, while bilingual or international schools that run Cambridge or IB programmes provide routes recognised by universities worldwide. If university plans are important, check the school’s senior-school qualifications, language of final examinations and graduate destinations to confirm alignment with your child’s goals.
