About international schools in Cambodia
International schools in Cambodia are concentrated in Phnom Penh with growing offerings in Siem Reap and coastal centres, and most teach in English while following a mix of International Baccalaureate, British/Cambridge, American and other national curricula. Bilingual and trilingual options are increasingly common, with Khmer taught as a co-curriculum subject and French and Mandarin offered at a number of schools. Fees vary widely by school and grade but commonly fall in the low-to-mid thousands of US dollars for smaller, local international schools up to the mid-five figures a year at longer-established international campuses; many schools also publish one-off application, entrance or capital fees. The academic year in most international schools runs broadly from August to June with the main intake in August and a secondary intake point around January, and families should expect application fees, deposits and waiting lists at popular year groups.

Choosing an international school in Cambodia
Curricula
There are 50 international schools in Cambodia covering 27 curricula. The most widely offered are Cambridge IGCSE (18), Bespoke Curriculum (16), Cambridge (Primary) (14), Cambridge A Levels (12), British Curriculum (11). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across Cambodia runs from about KHR 1,000,000 to KHR 127,344,331, averaging roughly KHR 31,063,966. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Cambodia run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
3 of the 50 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Cambodia we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
