International Schools in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Phnom Penh’s international schools form a broad, tiered market that ranges from smaller English-medium and bilingual campuses to larger schools offering full international accreditations; families can choose British (Cambridge/IGCSE/A-Level), International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), American (US diploma/AP), French and several other curricula. English is the dominant language of instruction at most schools, though there are French-language campuses and many schools include Khmer language and culture classes alongside additional languages such as Mandarin and Korean. Annual tuition sits on a wide spectrum - a few thousand US dollars a year at lower-fee campuses to well into five figures at established IB or long-running international schools - and headline fees should be budgeted up by another 15 - 30% for one-off capital/enrolment charges, transport, meals and curricular trips; fees are normally quoted and paid in US dollars. The school year commonly begins in August or September, many schools operate rolling admissions with popular year groups filling early, and most schools require passport and health records, previous school reports and a short assessment or interview (often arranged remotely) before offering a place.
