Fee payment options and practical notes

- The published fee schedule issues invoices for 10 monthly instalments or an annual payment option and specifies due dates and late‑payment penalties.

Food Options

There is a coffee shop on the AHIS campus.

House System

AHIS has a school-wide house system. Students are assigned to a house group that they will stay in throughout their time at AHIS. Students earn points for their house throughout the year, in class and in school-wide events, and the winning house each year receives the school shield. Houses are named after Cambodian animals and provinces.

Governance and Ownership

The school operates with Christian foundations and teaches from a Biblical perspective. It holds ACS WASC accreditation for PK-12 and the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport recognises the AHIS diploma as equivalent to the Year 12 diploma.

Curriculum

Asian Hope International School offers a bilingual curriculum taught in English and Khmer, based on an integration of the English National Curriculum with the Cambodian National Curriculum delivered through an inquiry-based approach. Early Years (3 years to Year 1) follow the UK Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, with a play-based, child-centered approach and a strong emphasis on early literacy and numeracy; Jolly Phonics supports reading and writing, alongside Khmer language enrichment. Primary (Years 2–6) uses a combined English and Cambodian curriculum delivered in both languages, with topic-based learning in history, geography and sciences, and a weekly joint English–Khmer lesson; Year 6 sits the Cambodian national exam. Secondary (Years 7–12) extends the integrated curriculum with Project Based Learning, continuing bilingual literacy and expanding into Art, Music, Technology and Design, while teaching from a Christian worldview. Qualifications: Cambodian National Examinations are taken in Years 6, 9 and 12; from Year 10 onward students can undertake Cambridge IGCSE examinations, which are internationally recognized and provide pathways to higher education.

Student Teacher Ratio

Approximately 756 students with around 50 international teachers; no formal published student-to-teacher ratio.

Exam Results

Cambodian National Examinations are taken in Years 6, 9 and 12; from Year 10 onward Cambridge IGCSE examinations are offered, which are internationally recognized.

Higher Education Progression

Graduates may pursue higher education in Cambodian universities or international universities, with Cambridge IGCSE offering widely recognized credentials for entry to many institutions.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Asian Hope International School supports social and emotional development through a safe and caring environment rooted in its Christian ethos. The mission and vision state the school provides a high-quality, child-centred education in a safe and caring environment where every child feels worthy and appreciated. The bilingual English-Khmer setting supports belonging and effective communication, contributing to students' social integration. A School Nurse is on site during the day to support health and wellbeing, which underpins students' ability to engage emotionally in learning. The safeguarding framework, including a Child Protection Policy and CSPN membership, requires prompt and professional handling of incidents and reinforces staff conduct standards. While a distinct, named SEL program is not listed, the environment, health support, language inclusion, and safeguarding collectively underwrite students' social and emotional development.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school employs Special Needs staff to support students with learning differences. Support can occur in the mainstream classroom or through withdrawal for specialist tuition to develop academics as well as social and life skills. A Learning Support Assistant can be appointed to support the child through the day, in addition to therapy provided by the SEN staff. Khmer language support is provided as part of the bilingual program, with Khmer teachers identifying needs and offering level-specific assistance. AHIS is not described as a specialist SEN institution; SEN support is provided within the mainstream school structure rather than a dedicated SEN centre.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school provides EAL specialists to support students who have not yet developed the required level of English. EAL lessons involve direct instruction and engaging activities, and students may be withdrawn from the main classroom for targeted support. Most children in the EAL programme receive support for between 12 to 24 months. The EAL programme focuses on vocabulary development, reading, and writing to help students access the English-based curriculum. The publicly disclosed information describes EAL provision as part of student support rather than as a separate, standalone department.

Mental Wellbeing

Publicly available information does not describe a dedicated mental wellbeing program at AHIS. Health support is provided on-site by a School Nurse who handles everyday health issues, screenings, and general health advice. The mission emphasizes a safe and caring environment, which supports student wellbeing. The safeguarding policies and CSPN membership indicate a framework intended to protect physical and social well-being as part of overall safety. Direct mental wellbeing services such as formal counselling are not described in publicly accessible materials.

Safeguarding

AHIS has a Child Protection Policy that aims to create a safe learning environment and protect the physical, mental, and social well-being of students and staff. The school is a member of the Child Safety and Protection Network (CSPN). The recruitment process is rigorous, and confidential references are required, including a question about any reason someone should not work with children. All staff must submit a criminal record report. The policy states that incidents are to be attended to promptly and professionally, and that alleged victims will not be held responsible; it also outlines how safeguarding concerns are to be handled within the school.

History

Asian Hope International School (AHIS) first opened in January 2010. It has grown to a student body of over 720 students and serves from Early Years through Year 12. The curriculum blends the English National Curriculum with the Cambodian National Curriculum and includes English and Khmer instruction. From Year 10, students prepare for Cambridge IGCSE, national exams are taken in Years 6, 9 and 12, and three graduating classes have completed since founding. The school is led by a diverse international staff and operates in a Christian environment.

Community

AHIS describes its community as a safe, Christian environment where every child is valued. Classes are taught in English and Khmer, blending the English National Curriculum with the Cambodian National Curriculum. Community life centers on school events such as ISSAPP football and school productions that involve families. Parents and families participate in events and meetings, such as parent meetings with the school nurses.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

AHIS maintains an active parent engagement structure that functions similarly to a PTA, coordinating volunteer involvement and family participation in school life. Regular parent meetings are held, including sessions with school nurses to discuss student health and welfare. Parents volunteer and attend events such as school productions like Shepherd King and athletic events, with families also assisting in planning and logistics. The parent community participates in cross-school activities and social gatherings, reflecting a broader network of families connected to AHIS and related schools. The PTA supports fundraising and capital campaigns for new initiatives, such as the Kingdom Schools project.

Facilities Overview

AHIS is set on a beautiful campus with facilities to support the education of children from Early Years to Year 12. Across EY/Primary and Secondary buildings there are light-filled, spacious classrooms, two libraries, a Secondary Maker-space and science labs, a Primary STEAM room, a dance room, an auditorium, a coffee shop, a soccer field, a volleyball court, a playground, a covered gym, and a 25-meter swimming pool.

Cambodia Adventist International School

Instructs in English

Ages 3 - 18 years

Fees KHR 6,878,533 - 8,078,277

Type Co-educational

Cambodia Adventist International School (CAIS) is a K–12 Christian school in Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh. The school address as #419 Street Rada and gives contact numbers for registrar and finance offices. The site shows CAIS runs K–12 activities including a Khmer Spelling Bee and English speech events, a science fair, regular chapel/Church services and an on-site library catalog, and reports a student body of “500+” with a stated staff and teacher count. The principal's message on the site is signed by Mr. Dean Edwards. The school website links a School Curriculum and Tuition Fee document (hosted on the school's linked Drive), but those documents require opening to view full details. Sources: school homepage and contact pages; principal's message; event pages; curriculum/tuition links on the school site.

Location

CAIS is located at #419, Street Rada, Phum Tum Nub, Sangkat Phnom Penh Thmey, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh (Sen Sok district). The school website notes Rada Street as the campus entrance and recent on‑site construction may affect traffic on that street for short periods; contact the school for current local access details.

Stages

The school presents itself as an international K–12 provider (Kindergarten through Grade 12) in its published fees and materials.

Type

CAIS is an international day school operating in Phnom Penh; the website and public materials show it as a non‑boarding institution (no boarding facilities are listed).

Additional learning support

The publicly available pages on the school site do not describe a detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN) or Additional Learning Needs programme; the site links to a Student Handbook and Curriculum documents where policy details are usually published. Parents should contact Admissions for specifics and for any individual support arrangements.

Country affiliation

The school is based in Cambodia and is run under the local Adventist mission; it is presented as a Cambodian institution rather than being formally affiliated to another national school system.

Religious affiliation

CAIS is affiliated with the Seventh‑day Adventist Church (the site and copyright identify it as a Seventh‑day Adventist Cambodian Mission institution and the site includes chapel/church service information).

School day structure

Published third‑party school listings indicate a typical school day runs roughly 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with short supervised periods before and after school; the CAIS website links to an academic calendar and handbook where the school's official daily schedule is set out. Prospective parents should check the current handbook/calendar or ask Admissions for exact daily timings for the grade of interest.

Bus service

Public information and a recent school listing state that CAIS does not operate a school bus service; most families arrange their own transport and the school offers limited supervised time before/after school. If a bus service is a deciding factor, confirm availability directly with the registrar as arrangements can change.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

CAIS publishes a Code of Honor on its website that instructs pupils to “respect God, respect myself, and respect others” and explicitly forbids lying, cheating, stealing, bullying and fighting; this is presented as a behavioural expectation across school pages. The site also highlights regular chapel/church services and co-curricular activities (speech and spelling events) that the school describes as opportunities for character development and confidence-building. The school's public pages do not describe a named SEL curriculum, specialist SEL staff, or a dedicated pastoral team.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school's public website and linked pages do not describe a specialist SEN provision, named learning-support staff, or which kinds of special educational needs it can support. CAIS provides a Student Handbook link on its site, but the publicly visible pages do not set out an accessible SEN policy or detailed learning‑support information. Therefore, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

CAIS's publicly available pages do not describe a specific EAL (English as an Additional Language) programme, EAL teachers, or formal language-support pathways. Because the website does not set out an explicit EAL provision, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.

Mental Wellbeing

The school's website emphasises spiritual and character formation—through its mission/philosophy and regular chapel services—which the school presents as part of students' overall wellbeing. The site does not publish details of counselling services, a school psychologist, or formal mental‑health programmes in publicly accessible pages. As such, specific mental‑health or counselling provisions are not publicly described on the website.

Safeguarding

CAIS lists a Student Handbook on its website (linked via Google Drive), but the publicly accessible site pages do not publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy text. Attempting to open the handbook/calendar link requires Google Drive access and does not expose an openly viewable safeguarding policy on the public site; therefore specific safeguarding procedures are not available in the publicly accessible pages.

History

Cambodia Adventist International School (CAIS) was established in 1995 and grew from a small Adventist primary program into a K–12 institution over the following decade. The school is owned and operated under the Seventh‑day Adventist Cambodian Mission education structure. CAIS expanded grade levels year by year and completed its first full graduating class in the early 2000s; elementary and secondary accreditation milestones are recorded in public accounts of the school's development. The school's official site and public records identify it as a long‑standing Adventist mission school in Phnom Penh.

Community

CAIS serves several hundred students with a faculty and staff team listed on the school site, and its calendar and news feed show regular worship, chapel and church services alongside academic and extracurricular activities. The school posts recurring events such as Open House, cultural shows, Christmas programs, art and science fairs, sports days and participation in competitions (for example a national spelling bee) and outreach projects like “Hope For Cambodia.” Parents, teachers and students are visibly involved in these events through the school's galleries and announcements. These community activities underline a mix of spiritual, cultural and service‑oriented programming in the school year.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

There is no dedicated Parent Teacher Association (PTA) page or PTA constitution visible on the school's public website as of this check; the site's event and gallery pages show parent and community involvement but do not describe a formal PTA structure. For information about parent committees, volunteering or formal parent governance, the school directs inquiries to its administrative offices—contact details for the registrar and vice‑principals are published on the site. If you need specific names, meeting schedules, or a PTA constitution, I can contact the school on your behalf or you can reach the registrar at the numbers and email listed on the site. In summary: public materials show active parent participation at events but do not provide a published PTO/PTA document or officer list, so direct contact with the school is the best way to get current, specific PTA information.

Facilities Overview

CAIS operates from a Phnom Penh campus at #419 Street Rada, Phum Tum Nub, Sangkat Phnom Penh Thmey, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The campus is expanding with a third-floor addition adding six classrooms and new restrooms, and the building's infrastructure and permanent roof are being completed.

Admissions

1. Review the school's admissions page and published fees before you apply. CAIS's website includes separate online forms for new and returning students and a downloadable fees document — open those pages first so you understand deadlines, one‑time charges and the annual fee bands.

2. Complete the online application (New Student) linked on the school site. The school's New Student form is the formal first step; parents should complete every field on that form and check the form's guidance for which supporting documents are required. If the form does not make requirements clear, contact the Registrar listed on the website before you submit to avoid delays.

3. Prepare and submit supporting documents to the Registrar as requested. The website links (New Student / Returning Student) and the Registrar contact are the route the school uses for applications; expect the Registrar to confirm exactly which papers to upload or bring (for example identity/birth record, previous school record, and any immigration/visa documents where applicable). If you need clarification on acceptable document formats, use the Registrar phone or email on the site rather than assuming requirements.

4. Check fees, make any required registration/deposit payments, and confirm the payment plan with the Finance Office. CAIS publishes a fees structure (registration and annual tuition vary by grade) and the Finance Office handles invoicing and payment queries — ask for a written invoice that lists any refundable deposits, sibling discounts and payment deadlines before you pay. If you want the published fee figures for planning, see the school's fees file and summary listings (fee levels differ by grade).

5. Await the school's enrollment decision and follow their next-step instructions (placement, orientation, calendar). Once the school receives a complete application and any required payment, the Registrar will confirm placement and tell you about orientation dates, uniforms, start-of-term dates and the student handbook; the CAIS school calendar and open‑house dates are published on the site and should be checked so you don't miss any deadlines. If you need earlier confirmation for visas or housing, contact the Registrar and Finance Office directly — their phone numbers and email are listed on the site.

6. Complete final enrolment requirements before the student's first day. That typically means attending the scheduled orientation/open house, returning any signed school forms listed in the student handbook, and confirming payment/tuition arrangements with the Finance Office; if you have outstanding documentation or need a payment receipt for visa purposes, request these from the Registrar/Finance contacts. Keep copies of all receipts and the handbook pages that relate to attendance, health, and conduct for reference.

Scholarships

The CAIS website does not list a general scholarship or financial‑aid program on its public pages. There is, however, a regional scholarship reference: Asia‑Pacific International University's President's Scholarship names Cambodia Adventist International School as one of the feeder schools eligible for that particular award (the AP University scholarship is awarded to top Seventh‑day Adventist academic achievers and uses end‑of‑year results and GPA criteria). If you are seeking tuition assistance for a CAIS student, contact CAIS Finance or the Registrar to ask whether the school offers any internal discounts, need‑based help, or church‑sponsored support; also ask whether international or denominational scholarships (like the APU arrangement) may be available to graduating senior candidates. For the APU President's Scholarship criteria and the list that includes CAIS, see the APU scholarship page.

Waitlist

CAIS does not publish a public waitlist or “admissions pool” policy on its website. A search of the school site and its admissions links does not show a published waiting‑list procedure or public queue; the site directs families to use the New Student and Returning Student application forms and to contact the Registrar for admissions questions. If you expect limited capacity (for example at popular entry years such as K or Grade 1), contact the Registrar by phone or email listed on the school site to ask whether a waitlist is being operated for the specific grade and how that list is managed. For an authoritative answer about current capacity, placement order, and whether a deposit secures a place, ask Registrar (phone and finance contacts appear on the school pages).

GloLink International School Phnom Penh

Instructs in English

Ages 2 - 18 years

Fees KHR 12,873,094 - 15,689,084

GloLink International School Phnom Penh is a Christian international school in Phnom Penh that operates separate Khmer and International programmes. The school states that its International programme uses the Western Australian Curriculum (applied from kindergarten through middle school) while the Khmer Programme follows the national Cambodian curriculum; both programmes are published as accredited by the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and by the Government of Western Australia School Curriculum and Standards Authority. GloLink publishes that instruction is delivered either in English (International programme) or in Khmer (Khmer programme), and that taught subjects include English, mathematics, science and social studies alongside foreign languages (Khmer, Korean and Chinese), art, music, physical education, computer studies and taekwondo. The school's website lists preschool/kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school phases and gives a Phnom Penh campus address and admissions information; further operational details such as fees and application steps are also published online.

Location

GloLink is in Sen Sok district (Sangkat Phnom Penh Thmey) at Building/No.131A on Oknha Mong Reththy St. (St. 1928), Phnom Penh. The address and contact details appear on local school listings and directory pages; the site is reachable by city roads and local transport routes in Sen Sok. Opening hours shown on listings are broadly during weekday daytime (listings show roughly 07:30–17:00).

Stages

Public listings describe GloLink as serving early years / kindergarten through primary and secondary (up to Grade/Year 12), with age range shown around 2–18 years. This is reflected in international-school directories that list nursery/Kindergarten classes plus primary and secondary levels.

Type

Listed as a co‑educational day school (no public indication of boarding). Several directories and school databases describe it as an international school operating both an international curriculum and a national Cambodian track.

Country affiliation

The school does not appear to be formally affiliated to a single country. Directories indicate it offers an international pathway and also references to a Cambodian national track; posts/listings note use of the Western Australian curriculum in parts of its programme.

Religious affiliation

Multiple local listings describe GloLink as having a Christian or ‘Christ‑centred' orientation. If religious instruction or worship practice is important to you, check directly with the school for how faith is included in day‑to‑day life and whether it affects admissions or curriculum.

School day structure

Public listings show weekday opening hours around 07:30–17:00; specific class start/finish times, break and lunchtime schedules are not published on the directories. Expect a morning start around 7:30–8:00 with classes finishing in the mid‑ to late‑afternoon, but confirm exact daily hours and term dates with the school.

Bus service

Directory summaries (international‑schools databases) list that a school bus service is not provided by GloLink. I did not find published details of a school‑run transport/shuttle service on public listings, so if you will need daily transport, ask the admissions office about private transport options, recommended providers, or nearby public‑bus stops.

Application / Registration fees
- Registration (one‑time at first enrolment): KHR 1,203,000.
- Annual capital fee: KHR 802,000.
- Annual material & book fee: KHR 802,000.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per term)
- Nursery 2 (Age 2): Annual KHR 12,832,000 — Per term (estimate, equal 3-term split): KHR 4,277,333.
- Kindergarten 1–3 (Ages 3–5): Annual KHR 12,832,000 — Per term: KHR 4,277,333.
- Grade 1–6 (Ages 6–11): Annual KHR 13,634,000 — Per term: KHR 4,544,667.
- Grade 7–10 (Ages 12–15): Annual KHR 14,436,000 — Per term: KHR 4,812,000.
- Grade 11–12 (Ages 16–17): Annual KHR 15,639,000 — Per term: KHR 5,213,000.
(First year of enrolment for Nursery 2 would total KHR 14,035,000 when one‑time and annual items are combined.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Specific invoice timing (term dates, payment deadlines, instalment plans, finance charges) are not published in the accessible fee listing for the school. The fee entries provided are given as annual totals; per‑term figures above are calculated by dividing the published annual amount into three equal parts (estimate for per‑term planning only).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not listed as part of the school's offerings or fee schedule in available public listings; boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs / additional fees
- Material & book fee and capital fee are listed separately (amounts above). Other typical items (uniform, transport, extracurricular activity charges, examination fees) are not specified in the published fee rows available. Additional charges may apply but are not itemised in the accessible fee summary.

Refunds and concessions
- No public refund policy, sibling discounts or concession details are included in the accessible fee listing.

Payment options
- Specific accepted payment methods (bank transfer, cash, credit card, online payment providers) are not listed in the available fee information.

Note: the numeric fee figures above are taken from the current public fee listings available for GloLink International School Phnom Penh and used here as the basis for the required per‑term breakdown (per‑term amounts shown are calculated estimates).

Community

Public posts and local school listings show GloLink running regular community and student activities including health/vaccination days and participation in competitions such as school debate events in mid-2025. Directory and magazine-style profiles also describe a program of extracurriculars (e.g., taekwondo, music, arts) and community-service projects that involve students and parents.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Multiple school profiles emphasise parental involvement through parent–teacher meetings, workshops and other engagement activities, but I could not find a publicly posted, formal Parent–Teacher Association (PTA) constitution, officer list, or a regular-event calendar labeled “PTA” on the school's website or directory pages. Public social posts from the school's Facebook account show parents being notified about events and health initiatives (for example, vaccination day and student competitions in 2025), which suggests parent coordination around specific activities. If you'd like, I can (a) scan the school's Facebook/Telegram feed for named PTA groups or recent meeting notes, or (b) draft a short message you can send to the school asking for their PTA contact, recent minutes, and upcoming parent events.

Admissions

1. Initial inquiry and eligibility check — Contact the school's admissions office to confirm current availability for the grade you need, the school calendar (term start dates) and the most recent fee schedule. Ask specifically which curriculum stream (American / Cambodian) you want for your child, and whether the school has any age/grade cut‑offs or minimum attendance requirements. Because the school's official website was unavailable at the time of checking, call or message the school's listed phone/WhatsApp or use its directory listings to reach admissions directly.

2. Complete and submit the application + required documents — You will normally need to complete the school's application form and provide standard documents such as the child's birth certificate or passport, recent school reports or transcripts (if any), up‑to‑date immunisation records, proof of residency/parent ID, and passport photos; international families should also be ready to show visa or work‑permit documents if requested. Parents should check whether the school requires originals or certified copies and whether any documents must be translated into English. Because GloLink's public listings describe an application process that includes interviews/assessments, confirm the exact document checklist with admissions before you prepare couriered originals.

3. Admissions assessment and interview — GloLink is reported to use an application process that includes interviews and academic/placement assessments (typically age‑appropriate literacy and numeracy checks and an interview with the child and/or parents). Expect the school to assess English ability and overall readiness for the requested grade; for younger children this may be informal classroom observation or play‑based checks. Ask ahead whether assessments are carried out on campus, remotely, or via a prior school report, and whether there is any preparatory guidance or sample materials.

4. Offer, contract and payment of enrolment fees — If a place is offered you should receive a written offer and a school contract that sets out fees, one‑time charges and payment deadlines. Public fee schedules published by school directories show a typical first‑year breakdown (example: registration fee, capital fee, tuition and materials — the database lists a Nursery 2 first‑year total of 14,035,000 KHR and annual totals by grade), so review the contract carefully for which charges are one‑time versus recurring and whether any discounts or sibling concessions apply. Ask about accepted payment methods, payment plans, refund/cancellation terms and any required deposits (these details are not consistently published and should be confirmed with admissions).

5. Confirmation, pre‑start requirements and orientation — Once the contract and initial payment are completed, confirm the child's start date, uniform requirements, health records (vaccinations), school hours and available transport/bus routes. If your child will need classroom support, language support (ESL) or special‑needs accommodations, raise these before the start date so the school can plan staffing and placement. GloLink's public listings show active enrolment and seasonal promotions at times, so confirm whether any promotional offers are being applied to your contract.

Waitlist

No formal waitlist system is clearly described in the school's public listings. Major directory profiles and local write‑ups for GloLink (school directories checked) do not publish a formal “waitlist” policy or a centralized admissions pool; instead, parents are advised to contact admissions directly to check current availability and next‑steps. Because many smaller international schools handle demand case‑by‑case (holding names on a priority contact list or offering places as they become available), if you cannot secure a place immediately ask admissions whether they keep a waiting list, how long the list typically is, how offers are prioritised (e.g., siblings, returning students, date of application), and whether there are any interim enrolment options (short‑term or part‑time places). For the most reliable answer, contact the school's admissions office directly.
