American Curriculum International Schools in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

American-curriculum international schools in Phnom Penh are typically English-medium schools that follow US-style learning standards and often award a US high-school diploma; many also offer Advanced Placement (AP) options or sit alongside other pathways (IB/British) at some campuses. Khmer language classes are commonly part of the programme and larger schools frequently offer additional languages such as Mandarin or French, plus English language support for non-native speakers. Annual costs vary a lot by school and year group, ranging from several thousand US dollars for younger years up to the low- or mid-five-figure range for senior secondary places, and families should expect separate application/enrolment deposits, capital or development fees, and extras for uniforms, transport and exams. Most schools operate an academic year that begins around August - September, take applications many months in advance, and use interviews, placement tests and waiting lists, so relocating families should start enquiries early, check accreditation and boarding/transport options and allow time for visas and local registration formalities.
