If your child may need learning support, contact the school admissions office directly to ask about assessments, in-class support, or external specialist arrangements.

The High School programme (Grades 10–12) is described as a 40‑hour week offering English, Khmer literature, maths, social sciences, laboratory work, ICT, home economics, arts and regular sports (including swimming). The school website outlines national and international tracks but does not list specific external examination awards (e.g., Cambridge or IB) for particular year groups, so contact the school directly to confirm formal qualifications or leaving certificates.

History	History KCE International School is a privately operated trilingual school serving Phnom Penh; its public website describes the school and its programmes but does not list a formal founding year. Mrs. Sopheak Lar is named as the school principal and a small senior management team is listed on the school site, which indicates an internally managed leadership structure rather than a publicly listed corporate owner. The school has engaged in international outreach and partnerships (for example, a delegation visit to Chulalongkorn University on 4 July 2022). Recent public postings and the school's campus pages reference a main Phsar Depo campus and additional campus activity (Tram Khnar), showing the school operating at more than one site.	History True VISIONS International School of Cambodia was founded in 2013 by H.E. Dr. Seng Bona and operates under the True VISIONS Education Group. The group has expanded to multiple campuses across Phnom Penh and reports thousands of registered students as it grew beyond a single campus. The school is registered with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) to run its international and Khmer programmes. Over time the institution added higher‑grade levels and held its first high‑school graduation in 2022, reflecting that growth from early years into a K–12 provider.
Community	Community KCE runs a calendar of school-wide events that include the KCE Debate Competition, annual colouring competitions and campus open houses, which are listed on the school events pages. The school also stages cultural celebrations that involve families and local neighbours—most recently a Khmer New Year parade and performances that included students, teachers and parents. The school's public posts show health and community activities (for example, dental workshops and family costume competitions) alongside school clubs and extracurricular programmes, indicating regular opportunities for students and families to take part in community-facing events.	Community The school community is trilingual in practice, with programmes and daily instruction delivered in English, Khmer and Chinese. True VISIONS organises whole‑school and family events—examples include the “One School, One Community” gathering in May 2025 and regular graduation ceremonies that involve parents and staff. Parents and caregivers also use a school parent channel (Telegram @ParentCommunity) for announcements, coordination and informal community discussion.
Parent teacher association	Parent teacher association A formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is not described on the school's publicly available pages; the website and recent profiles reference parent–teacher meetings and parent involvement in events but do not publish a dedicated PTA contact or constitution. Parents commonly participate in campus events such as the Khmer New Year parade, open houses and family competitions, and the school advertises workshops and community activities that involve families. Because the school's public materials do not list a PTA coordinator, families wanting up-to-date information about any formal PTA, volunteer groups or parent committees are best advised to contact the school directly (info@kce.edu.kh or the phone numbers shown on the school site) to ask about current parent groups, meeting schedules and how to join.	Parent teacher association Families at True VISIONS are organised informally through a parent community that the school links to publicly (Telegram channel @ParentCommunity) and that is used for announcements and coordination. That parent group has taken part in schoolwide initiatives such as the “One School, One Community” event, which brought parents, teachers and students together for activities and information sharing in May 2025. The school's public news and notice pages show parents are kept informed about examinations, graduation dates and term events, indicating regular parent–school communication around academic milestones. At ceremonies such as the first high‑school graduation, the school publicly acknowledged parents' support, showing that parents are active participants in milestone events. Overall, the PTA/parent group functions through online channels, event volunteering and attendance at formal school occasions rather than as a separately incorporated organisation on the public record.

Reputation	Reputation
Awards	Awards No school-level awards (awards granted to the institution itself) from the past five years are listed on KCE International School's website for the period January 1, 2021 – December 30, 2025. The school's public pages show events and competitions (for example debate and colouring competitions) but do not list institutional awards or prizes granted to the school as an organization in that timeframe. Note on verification: Because your request asked to include only awards publicly provided on the school website, I did not include external articles or directories. If you'd like, I can (a) contact the school's listed email/phone for confirmation, or (b) search official Cambodian education registries to see whether any formal recognitions are recorded there.	Awards Summary (five-year window up to December 30, 2025): The school website does not list any awards that were given to the school as an institution in the past five years. The news items on the site that mention “awards” or “outstanding” refer to student awards, graduation ceremonies, or recognitions of individual students (for example: “Top Three” outstanding students, Class of 2023 outstanding awards, and kindergarten/high‑school graduation ceremonies). These are student-focused recognitions rather than awards presented to the school itself. Examples from the site (to show what is present on the site, all are student-focused): - “Top Three” outstanding students (news item, Dec 22, 2022) — describes awards to students for exam results. - Announcement of International High School Graduation and “Outstanding Awards Class of 2023” (ceremony scheduled July 29, 2023) — a ceremony and student awards for graduates. - Kindergarten graduation post (July 5, 2024) — celebrates graduating kindergarten students. If you'd like, I can (a) search other publicly available sources beyond the school website for any third‑party accreditations or institutional awards, or (b) contact the school (contact details are on their site) and request confirmation of accreditations and institutional awards.
Accreditations	Accreditations No institutional accreditations are listed on KCE International School's public website as of December 30, 2025. (I checked the school's main/about pages and program pages; they do not show any formal accreditation statements or named accrediting bodies.) Note on significance: When a school lists an external accreditation (for example from a national ministry of education or an international accreditor), that normally indicates a formal review of standards by an independent body. The absence of an accreditation statement on the website does not prove the school lacks any recognition — it may simply not be published online. For definitive confirmation you can request documentation directly from the school or check the Cambodian Ministry of Education and recognized international accrediting bodies.	Accreditations Summary (checked on the school website as of December 30, 2025): The True VISIONS website does not list any formal external accreditations (for example, international accreditation bodies such as CIS, WASC, or Cambridge) or a dedicated “accreditation” page. The site does state that the school's Khmer classes follow the “Official Khmer curriculum from the MoEYS,” which indicates alignment with Cambodia's national curriculum rather than an external accreditation. One-line explanation of the item shown on the website: - Official Khmer curriculum from the MoEYS — The school's site says it follows the national Khmer curriculum set by MoEYS (Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport); following that curriculum means the school teaches the nationally approved subjects/standards for Khmer-language classes, but the website does not present this as (or link to) a separate external accreditation certificate.
Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions 1. Initial enquiry and information gathering. Contact the school to request the current application form, published fees and the academic calendar; KCE publishes tuition and fee amounts on its website but some pages are blocked for direct viewing, so confirm the latest figures with the admissions office. (Source: KCE website contact and fees summary). 2. Complete the application and pay the application fee. KCE's fee page lists an application fee (USD 100) and an administration fee (USD 100); parents should confirm whether these are payable at submission or only after an offer is made, and whether these fees are refundable if a place is not offered. Provide accurate identity documents (birth certificate/passport), previous school reports (if applicable) and the completed application form — the school may require originals at enrolment so bring certified copies and originals for verification. Ask in advance what proof of residence, visa or health records (vaccination) the school needs for international students. 3. Assessment and/or interview. For nursery/preschool the school typically uses informal interactions; for primary and secondary grades prospective students are often assessed academically and may have an interview with admissions or the Head of School to determine placement. Parents should prepare recent school reports and, for older children, samples of school work and any results from external examinations; confirm whether the assessment is in English or another language so you can prepare the child. Be clear about the timing of assessments — ask whether there are placement tests for English, maths or other subjects and whether remote/online assessment is possible. 4. Offer, contract and payment of fees. If the child is offered a place the school will issue an offer/acceptance form and a fee schedule; KCE's published schedule shows options to pay tuition yearly or by semester and lists tuition by grade (examples: Kindergarten yearly USD 2,900; Grade 1–2 yearly USD 3,000; Grade 10–12 yearly USD 4,500). Parents should read the contract for refund and withdrawal terms, note payment deadlines (annual vs semester billing), and confirm which one-time fees are due on acceptance (application fee, administration fee, material/uniform fees). Keep receipts for all payments and ask for a written statement of what is included in tuition (books, tests, activities) and what is optional (lunch, bus). 5. Materials, uniforms, transport and meal arrangements. KCE's published fees list a material fee (the school page lists USD 250 for materials such as notebooks, course books and two uniform sets, and the page also shows a $300 figure in the same section — parents should confirm the exact amount and what it covers). The site lists optional items such as monthly lunch (USD 60) and bus fees charged by route; parents should confirm bus availability for their address, exact route cost, and whether lunch menus meet any dietary requirements. Before the child's start date, complete any medical forms and sign permission forms for activities; confirm start-of-term orientation dates and drop-off/pick-up procedures. 6. First day, orientation and ongoing communication. Attend the school's orientation (if provided) so you understand daily schedules, communication channels (who to contact for academic, pastoral or billing questions), and school policies (attendance, behaviour, homework). Keep the admissions and accounts office contact details and request the parent handbook or school policies in writing so you can refer to procedures for absence, illness, or fee disputes. If anything in the published information seems inconsistent (for example fee-line items), request written confirmation from admissions before making major payments.	Admissions 1. Initial enquiry and campus selection — Contact the admissions office by phone or email to confirm which campus and programme you want (kindergarten, primary, secondary, or day-care). True Visions lists multiple campus phone numbers and a general email on its contact page; use those to ask for the up-to-date application pack and the campus-specific availability. Ask at this stage about intake dates and whether the campus you prefer runs the English‑medium, Khmer or bilingual programmes. 2. Request the application form and pre-enrolment information — Ask the admissions team to send the official application form, fee schedule and any pre-enrolment checklist (some schools send these as PDF or provide them through a parent portal). The school's public site does not publish a full online admissions pack, so parents should obtain the current paperwork directly from the office. If you prefer, request the admissions form for the specific campus you selected so the school can advise about any campus‑specific requirements. 3. Register in the school's parent system / download the school app — True Visions has a parent app and they publish instructions for parents to use it to receive notices and track progress; ask admissions whether initial forms or payments can be submitted via the app or whether they require in‑person submission. Downloading the app early will let you receive official notices, confirmation receipts and follow-up instructions from the school once you apply. If you don't receive app access details, request them from the admissions office so you can track the application. 4. Prepare and submit required documents — Typical documents schools request are the child's passport or national ID, birth certificate, vaccination/health records, photocopies of parents' ID, recent school reports or transcripts (for entrants above kindergarten), and passport photos; True Visions' website does not list a formal documents checklist, so confirm the exact documentary requirements with admissions before you submit. Keep originals available for verification at the campus office and ask whether notarised or translated copies are needed for non‑Khmer/English documents. Submitting a complete set the first time avoids delays in scheduling assessments and confirming placement. 5. Assessment / placement meeting — For most grade levels the school will organise an assessment or placement discussion (language and age‑appropriate academic checks) to determine the correct class and any English‑support needs; the school site describes its English, Khmer and bilingual programmes, which implies language placement is part of enrolment. Ask whether the assessment is done on campus, online, or at a specific assessment day and whether you need to bring prior school reports or work samples to that session. Also confirm whether younger children have a short classroom visit or observation rather than a written test. 6. Fee schedule, deposit and payment terms — Before accepting any offer request the current official fee schedule and written invoice: third‑party school directories list annual tuition ranges for True Visions but those figures should be treated as indicative only; the school's office will provide the authoritative, current fees, any one‑time enrolment/registration charges, and the size and timing of the deposit required to hold a place. Ask specifically whether the quoted amount includes learning materials, uniforms, transport, meals or extra‑curricular fees and whether payment is accepted in KHR, USD or by bank transfer. Keep a written receipt when you pay a deposit and confirm the deadline by which the balance must be paid to secure the place. 7. Offer, acceptance and confirmation — After assessment the school will issue an offer (conditional or unconditional). Review the offer letter for the start date, the class, any conditional requirements (for example, evidence of immunisation or completion of previous grade), and the deadline to accept; sign and return the acceptance form and pay the required enrolment deposit by the date specified. If you need to defer the start date, ask admissions as soon as possible whether deferral is permitted and whether the deposit will still hold the place. 8. Orientation, uniforms, transport and ongoing communication — Once enrolled, ask for orientation dates, school day timings, uniform and booklists, and the bus routes or transport arrangements for your campus. The school publishes parent communications channels (including a parent Telegram group and a parent app) you should join so you receive term calendars, exam dates and emergency notices. Finally, keep the admissions office contact details saved and confirm who to contact for fee receipts, timetable changes or pastoral matters.
Scholarships	Scholarships There is no information on KCE's public pages or on the third‑party listings reviewed that describes school-wide scholarships or regular financial-aid programmes. Major published items on the school site cover tuition, application and material fees but do not list merit or need-based scholarship schemes. If a family requires fee assistance or if the school occasionally offers bursaries, those details are typically provided directly by the admissions office, so request written confirmation from KCE about any scholarship opportunities, eligibility criteria, deadlines and required documentation. For transparency and to avoid misunderstandings, ask the school whether any fee reductions are offered, whether they are renewable, and whether there are any application dates or assessment requirements.	Scholarships The True Visions website includes a short mention of a “Scholarship Facility” on its public pages but does not publish details or application criteria on the site's scholarship/research page (the school's scholarship listing is empty), so no formal scholarship programme details are publicly available on the school site. Parents should contact the school directly to ask whether the school currently offers need‑based scholarships, merit awards, sibling discounts, or programme‑specific concessions and request the written eligibility rules and application form. Independent reporting and local news coverage indicate the school has offered discounts or financial support for specific training programmes and targeted students (a recent report referred to discounts of up to 50% for an eligible skills‑training intake), but these appear to be programme‑specific initiatives rather than a broadly advertised, permanent scholarship scheme; verify current availability and eligibility directly with admissions. If you intend to apply for financial assistance, be prepared to provide evidence of household income, a short statement of need, and any supporting documents the school requests; ask the school what the application deadline is and whether awards are renewable each year.
Waitlist	Waitlist KCE's publicly available pages and third‑party school listings that summarise the school's admissions (site content and fee page) do not mention a formal waiting-list or pool system. Because the school's website and listings do not describe a waitlist, the safest assumption is that any oversubscription or informal hold on places would be managed case-by-case by the admissions office. If you need certainty about whether a waiting list exists, how long it typically is, or how places are allocated from it, contact KCE's admissions office directly (phone/email shown on the school page) and ask for their current policy in writing; this is the most reliable way to confirm local practice.
