Location	Location Blueline International School is located at #25, Street 71, Sangkat Beong Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) in central Phnom Penh — a neighbourhood commonly used by expatriate families. The address is shown on the school website; the campus is reachable by taxi or private car from central Phnom Penh.	Location iCAN is in central Phnom Penh's Tonle Bassac (Sangkat Tonle Bassac) — the school's contact page gives the address as 15, Street 9, Phnom Penh 120101. Tonle Bassac is a central, riverside neighbourhood (near Koh Pich/Diamond Island and major roads such as Sothearos and Monivong), so the campus is close to central amenities and main city routes.
Stages	Stages The school offers programmes from Early Years (from about 22 months) through primary and secondary up to Year 12. Early years and primary follow international early-years and primary curricula (IEYC/IPC) and the school delivers Cambridge and Khmer curriculum elements; Years 11–12 are prepared under the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) pathway.	Stages The school covers Early Years and Primary phases: an EYFS Early Years programme (ages around 2–5) and Primary organised into Mileposts 1–3. Admissions information shows class/age guidance up to Year 6 (age 11).

Additional learning support The website describes a small, dedicated Learning Support team of qualified learning facilitators and support assistants who monitor progress and provide in‑class and pull‑out support, including one‑to‑one help and work with external specialists when needed.
Country affiliation	Country affiliation Blueline delivers international programmes including a Western Australian curriculum pathway and is authorised to offer the WACE International (Western Australian Certificate of Education) for senior students.	Country affiliation The school follows British curricula (IPC/English National Curriculum) but is an international school in Cambodia rather than formally affiliated to a UK governmental body or embassy school.

School day structure	School day structure The website describes the school's programmes and term dates but does not publish standard daily start/finish times or break/lunch schedules online; for exact daily timings and routine details, contact the admissions office.	School day structure The school website and calendar publish term dates and event notices but do not set out a standard published daily start/end time for every year group on the public pages. If you need exact daily hours, staggered times for different year groups, or regular early‑release days, contact the school's admissions or office for the current schedule.
Bus service details	Bus service details The school's public pages do not provide clear details about a school bus network or transport provider. If a school bus or student transport is required, contact the admissions or reception team for current routes, pickup zones, costs and safety arrangements. The school contact details are listed on its website.	Bus service details The iCAN website's public pages do not list an in‑house school bus fleet or a published transport provider; external school directories list iCAN as a day school (which suggests no boarding and no published bus service on the school site). Many families in Phnom Penh use private car, taxi, tuk‑tuk or third‑party school transport companies; if a dedicated bus service is important to you, ask the school directly about current options, partnered providers, routes and costs.

Curriculum details	Curriculum details Quick clarification before I summarise: do you mean Blueline International School (bluelineinternational.edu.kh) or Bright Line / BLIS at the site you supplied (blis.edu.kh)? Once you confirm which school you want, I'll provide a 5–6 sentence overview that includes the specific qualifications by year group/school stage.	Curriculum details iCAN British International School in Phnom Penh delivers education for children aged 2–11, organised as Early Years (iCAN Play, Nursery, Reception) and Primary (Mileposts 1–3). Early Years follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for ages 2–5 and teaches the seven EYFS areas: Expressive Arts & Design; Communication & Language; Literacy; Understanding the World; Mathematical Development; Physical Development; and Personal, Social & Emotional Development. Primary learning is delivered through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) using thematic units, with the National Curriculum for England used to structure literacy and numeracy. The school website presents the curriculum scope as EYFS plus IPC/adapted English National Curriculum for primary learners (ages 2–11) and does not list secondary year groups or external public‑exam programmes. Specialist teaching, learning support and extra‑curricular activities are indicated as complementary provisions alongside these stages.

Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning —	Social & emotional learning iCAN's published Wellbeing Policy sets out specific classroom and whole-school SEL practices, including weekly circle time, feeling boxes, morning meetings, reflection time, regular check-ins, and the use of the RULER method and Compassionate Communication to develop emotional literacy. The policy states classrooms should provide calm areas or ‘peace corners' and expectations for Learning Facilitators to create emotionally safe learning environments. The school runs targeted “nurture” sessions — intensive 1:1 interventions led by the Wellbeing leader and LST members, with clinical supervision when needed. Staff roles include a named Wellbeing lead and class staff responsible for pastoral checks, as shown on the school's team page. All these practices and roles are described in the school's Wellbeing Policy and the site's “Understand”/team pages.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) The school's website does not publish details about Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, a specialist SEND department, or which types of additional needs it can support. There is no statement on the site that the school is a specialist SEN institution or a list of supported needs and associated staff. Admissions and About pages describe curricular options but do not include SEN policies or support descriptions. If you need confirmation of SEN provision, contacting the school directly is advised.	Special educational needs (SEN) iCAN publishes a Learning Support page stating it has a small, dedicated team of qualified learning facilitators and learning support assistants who monitor progress and provide in-class and out-of-class support, including one-to-one tuition and facilitated support from external agencies. The Learning Support team works with class staff and families to identify needs and ensure access to the curriculum. The Admissions information makes clear the school is non-selective but will discuss cases where it believes it cannot meet a child's additional needs. The website does not list specific diagnoses or a definitive menu of SEN categories the school can support, nor does it describe the school as a specialist SEN institution. For full details or to check suitability for a particular need the school asks families to contact them directly.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language The Study Programs page lists a “General English Program” offered by the school, indicating some English-language provision. The site does not provide further public details about EAL assessment, in‑class EAL support, specialist EAL teachers, or entry-level programmes. There is no published EAL policy or staff list on the publicly available pages. For specifics about EAL placement or support, the school's admissions office would need to be consulted.	English as an additional language iCAN's Admissions page explains that English is the language of instruction and that children over four are assessed for English proficiency and may be placed in the school's EAL programme. The school's fees page lists an “Intensive E.A.L.” option (noting sessions are offered at the school's discretion) with a stated monthly fee range. The staff list published on the school site names a teacher with EAL responsibility (Year 2 & EAL), indicating a designated staff role for EAL provision. The school does not publish a full EAL curriculum or detailed entry-level criteria online beyond the admission assessment and fee note. For precise program content or placement criteria parents are asked to contact the school.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing The school's publicly available pages do not describe a named mental‑health or wellbeing programme, counselling services, or a wellbeing team. The About and Admissions content focuses on curriculum and admissions procedures but contains no published mental wellbeing policy or details of pastoral care staff. There are no pages that explicitly list mental‑health initiatives or support pathways for students. For confirmation of any counselling or mental‑health services, please contact the school directly.	Mental wellbeing The school's Wellbeing Policy identifies emotional health and mental wellness as core aims and describes actions such as nurture sessions, referral pathways to external mental health services, staff supervision for those delivering interventions, and a list of recommended local mental-health and therapy providers. The policy also sets expectations for staff to notice and refer concerns, and describes a referral and consent process when specialist assessment or outside agency support is recommended. iCAN states it will provide feedback to learning facilitators and meet with families as part of coordinated support. The policy includes measures for staff wellbeing, including Wellbeing Champions and access to resources, recognising staff wellbeing as part of the school's approach. These mental-wellbeing practices are documented in the school's published Wellbeing Policy.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding The school's website does not publish a child‑protection or safeguarding policy, nor does it list designated safeguarding leads or procedures on the public site. General information on the site covers curriculum and admissions but does not include explicit safeguarding or child‑protection documentation. Because the school does not make this information publicly available on the website, direct contact with the school is required to obtain its safeguarding policy and designated contacts. See the school's contact and about pages for contact details.	Safeguarding iCAN's Child Protection Policy names the Principal as the designated child-protection person and sets out mandatory reporting procedures, staff responsibilities, record-keeping, and confidentiality arrangements. The policy requires police or equivalent background checks at recruitment, mandatory child-safeguarding training for staff, and procedures for managing allegations against staff, including immediate suspension and reporting to authorities where appropriate. The policy also states that child protection is everyone's responsibility and describes how concerns should be recorded and escalated. The school's Wellbeing Policy cross-references child-protection reporting and the referral process for cases where social or emotional issues may be linked to abuse or crisis. These safeguarding procedures are published on the school website.

History	History Blueline International School's website presents the school as an international K–12 institution in Phnom Penh that delivers a mix of International Early Years and Primary curricula alongside Western Australian, Cambridge and the Khmer national programs. The site describes year groups from Early Years through Lower Secondary and highlights curriculum pathways for older students, indicating the school's curriculum focus and development over time. Public pages on the school site include enrollment notices dating back to 2018 and a permanent campus address, which show the school has been operating for several years. Local directory listings and education sites describe Blueline as a purpose-built international school serving primary and secondary students.	History iCAN British International School was established in the early 2000s; public records and profiles report the foundation in the 2003–2004 range. The school expanded its campus and learning spaces as it grew — sources note a move into a larger purpose-built facility in 2006. In October 2025 Chip Mong Group announced a major investment in iCAN, indicating recent external investment and a change in the school's financial backing. School leadership has signalled continuity of leadership over many years, with the principal describing a long-term commitment dating from 2004.
Community	Community Blueline describes an active school community built around regular parent–teacher contact: the school website notes Parent–Teacher Conferences (PTC) and parent workshops as recurring events, plus frequent parent meetings. The site also highlights student fairs and termly field trips as ways families can see learning in action, and it refers to teachers from a range of backgrounds who work with a multicultural student body. These activities are presented as regular parts of the school calendar and opportunities for family engagement.	Community The school describes an active, family-oriented community where parents are invited into learning through family learning days, coffee mornings, drop-in afternoons, curriculum evenings, unit exit points and child‑led conferences. Weekend and out‑of‑school activities — for example kite flying, family movie nights and city tuk‑tuk races — are used to build relationships between families and staff. The school keeps a calendar and newsfeed for upcoming community events so families can follow and join activities.
Parent teacher association	Parent teacher association On its "Our Community" page the school sets out a parent engagement programme that includes Parent–Teacher Conferences (it notes multiple PTCs per year) and parents' workshops that bring teachers and families together to discuss progress and classroom learning. The site specifically points to student fairs—events where pupils showcase term learning—and school-organised field trips that involve parent observation and participation. The school materials emphasise regular parent meetings rather than a detailed public description of a formal PTA committee or its governance, and they encourage parents to use workshops and meetings to raise questions or feedback. For operational details (membership, elected officers, meeting minutes or volunteer roles) the site directs parents to contact the school office at the address and phone numbers listed on the contact page.	Parent teacher association The school website does not publish a dedicated Parent Teacher Association (PTA) page; instead, parental involvement is organised through school-led events and opportunities for parent participation. Typical parent-facing activities listed on the site include coffee mornings, family learning days, curriculum evenings, child‑led conferences and weekend community events — these are the main channels for parents to engage and volunteer. For parents wanting to get directly involved or to ask about any parent‑run groups, the site lists contact points: the Primary Leader (rosie_tamblyn@ican.edu.kh) and the School Coordinator (sophak_chhim@ican.edu.kh). If you need, I can contact the school (via the addresses above) to ask whether there is an active PTA committee, current parent‑led groups, or records of recent parent-organised activities and report back.

Awards	Awards —	Awards Summary (checked the school website on December 30, 2025): the iCAN website's public sections (News, Discover, Learning, Our School, homepage) do not present any awards granted to the school in the past five years (December 30, 2020–December 30, 2025). No school-level awards are listed on the site, so there are none I can report here while following your instruction to include only information publicly provided on the school website. If you want additional verification beyond the school website (for example, external directories, local press, accreditation bodies, or child-safeguarding registries), I can search those sources and report any findings — say if you want me to proceed.
Accreditations	Accreditations —	Accreditations Summary (checked the school website on December 30, 2025): iCAN's official website does not list any formal accreditations for the school (for example, membership or accreditation by bodies such as CIS, NEASC, Cambridge/CAIE, or an IPC accreditation). The site does state that the school follows the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the National Curriculum for England, but that statement describes the curricula used and does not assert a formal accreditation by the curriculum providers. What this means for your request: you asked for a detailed list of all accreditations with one-line explanations. Because the school's website does not list any formal accreditations, there are no school-stated accreditations to list or to explain using only information from the school website. If you'd like, I can (a) contact the school for confirmation, or (b) search outside the school website for third-party listings or recognitions (let me know which you prefer).
Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions 1. Initial enquiry and request the Parent Information Pack (PIP). Parents should contact the school to request the PIP so they receive the school's welcome letter, application form, fee schedule and school calendar; the school's published admissions overview points parents to this pack as the first step. 2. Complete and submit the application form with required documentation. The school's enrolment page says parents must fill in an application form and submit the required admissions documents; the page also notes that a submitted registration will only be processed after the registration/enrolment fee is received, so plan to provide documents and payment together to avoid delays. The site does not publish a definitive checklist of documents online, so parents should confirm the precise list (ID/passport, previous school reports, vaccination records, proof of guardianship, or Cambodian Family Book where applicable) with the admissions office before visiting. 3. Registration/enrolment fee and processing. The school's published fee schedule (2024–2025 PDF) shows an enrolment (one‑time) fee and annual administration and capital fees (example amounts in that schedule: Enrolment $100 one‑time; Administration $300/year; Capital $370/year) — the enrolment/registration element must be paid for the application to be processed. Parents should be aware that capital and administration fees may cover textbooks, uniforms and other materials (the PDF lists what is included) and that the school states fees are non‑refundable and reviewed annually. Confirm current fee levels and refund/transfer policies with Finance before making payment. 4. Assessment and placement (where applicable). The school's enrolment information states that children aged 6 and older are given an assessment test in English and Khmer as part of the admissions process; parents should prepare recent school reports and any assessment or learning‑support information so the school can place the child at the right level. If your child requires language support or has a learning plan, share that documentation in advance so the school can advise on accommodation or placement options. 5. Confirmation of acceptance and start logistics. Once enrolment is finalised, the school confirms acceptance in writing and provides details such as entry level, start date and the child's class teacher; parents should expect that written acceptance to include the term start date and any orientation information. After written acceptance, arrange practical details — uniforms, optional meals, transport/bus registration and any medical or emergency contact forms — because some of these (uniforms, bus places) may be limited or require extra forms and fees. 6. Payment schedules, methods and deadlines. The school publishes multiple payment options (annually, semesterly, quarterly) and accepts ABA Pay, bank transfer or cheque; make sure you confirm the payment schedule you choose and whether early/late payment penalties or discounts apply. The fee document (2024–25) lists tuition by grade and explicitly states fees are payable in US dollars, non‑refundable, and subject to annual review — because fees can change year to year, ask Admissions/Finance for an up‑to‑date fee schedule for the academic year you plan to enrol.	Admissions 1. Initial enquiry and tour: Contact the school to request an information meeting or tour; the website lists the Primary Leader and School Coordinator emails and a central phone number for scheduling visits. Parents should bring a copy of the child's passport/birth certificate and recent school reports to the meeting where possible, and note that staff can explain classroom organisation and the school calendar. Tours and initial questions are handled through the school office or the named contacts. 2. Review fees and policies before applying: Before completing the registration form, read the published fee schedule and payment options carefully — the site shows annual tuition figures, two payment plans (single payment or four installments), tuition deadlines, enrolment fees, and a mandatory annual capital fee. Parents should be aware of the enrolment fee amounts and that the capital fee is non-refundable and has a specific due date; these charges are separate from tuition and from optional services such as Intensive EAL. Knowing these amounts in advance helps families budget and choose a payment plan. 3. Complete and submit the registration form with the enrolment fee: Download and complete the iCAN learner registration form and return it to the school office with the enrolment (registration) fee; the school's admissions page and join-us section describe how to submit these documents. The enrolment fee is a one-time, non-refundable charge for new learners (the fees page gives the exact amounts by key stage), so parents should confirm the fee level that applies to their child's year group before payment. If you have any questions while completing the form, raise them with the School Coordinator to avoid mistakes that could delay processing. 4. School review against admissions criteria: After submission, the school reviews applications using its stated admissions criteria — class size, the child's age, nationality, whether a sibling already attends, any special requirements, and English language proficiency. Parents should be prepared to provide information or documentation on any special educational needs and on the child's English level, because these factors affect placement and support planning. The school also maintains small class ratios which influence decisions about immediate placement versus waitlisting. 5. Assessments and learning support / EAL: If a child has limited English, iCAN may offer Intensive EAL support (the fees page lists typical monthly costs) and the Learning Support page explains the school's approach to identifying and supporting additional needs. Parents should ask whether their child will require assessments, how EAL sessions are scheduled, who delivers the support, and what extra costs (if any) apply; the fees page states that full tuition is charged for the quarter in which a learner enrols and lists EAL costs. Clarify in advance whether support is provided in class, one-to-one, or via external providers so you understand availability and likely costs. 6. Placement, start date, and first payment: If a place is available the Principal (or school leadership) will agree a start date once the registration and required fees are received; the admissions page explains that the school confirms a start date when paperwork and payments are complete. Families should be prepared to pay the first installment (or full single payment) at that time and to sign any enrolment agreements; also check the refund and withdrawal policy (the fees page outlines the circumstances and percentages for refunds). Keep the school informed about arrival timing so staff can prepare induction and any necessary assessments. 7. Timing and late enrolment: The school year runs August to June, and the school accepts enrolments throughout the year for the current academic year up to 31 March; applications after that date are usually for the following academic year. Parents applying mid-year should confirm whether their child will join immediately or wait until the next intake period, and whether any curriculum or assessment transition materials will be provided. If you are relocating or have a fixed start date, tell the School Coordinator early so they can advise on availability and required documentation.
Scholarships	Scholarships There is no publicly advertised, ongoing scholarship or bursary programme listed on the pages reviewed. The school's tuition page and fee notices do show limited promotional discounts for the 2024–2025 academic year (for example, a 5% tuition discount for families enrolling in Grade 7 was listed as a special discount); these appear to be time‑limited promotions rather than a permanent scholarship scheme. If you are looking for need‑based aid, merit scholarships, sibling discounts or other fee concessions, request written details from the school's Admissions or Finance team — they can confirm whether any scholarships, discounts or payment plans are currently available and the eligibility criteria.	Scholarships The iCAN website does not advertise a formal scholarship programme. The published fees page does include a sibling discount policy — a 10% tuition discount may be granted for the third child (and subsequent children) for families who pay out of pocket — but there is no information on merit, need-based scholarships, or other fee remission schemes on the site. Because the website does not list scholarships, parents seeking fee assistance or special arrangements should contact the School Coordinator or Principal directly to ask whether any unadvertised financial aid, bursaries, or case-by-case concessions might be available.
Waitlist	Waitlist The school's public pages that I reviewed (the school's enrolment page and the published fee PDF) do not include a public statement describing a formal waitlist or pool system. That absence on the public pages means there is no published, permanent waitlist policy available online; in practice many Phnom Penh schools operate informal waiting lists or hold places for students who have paid deposits. For the most reliable answer for current vacancies and whether the school runs a waiting list (how places are allocated, whether a deposit is required, and priority rules), contact the admissions office directly by phone or email — the school's contact details are published on its site.	Waitlist The school operates a waiting list for classes that are full. If an application is received for a class that has reached its capacity (iCAN limits teacher-to-learner ratios), the child's name will be placed on the waiting list provided the registration/enrolment fee has been paid; families on the list are contacted when a place becomes available. Parents should be aware that being on the waiting list does not guarantee immediate placement, that priority factors (age, sibling links, special requirements, nationality) are considered during review, and that you should keep your contact details up to date with the School Coordinator.
