Fees

Annual tuition at American Intercon School ranges from KHR 5,213,816 to KHR 8,422,319 for 2026/27.

Application & registration fees
- A non‑refundable entrance/registration fee is charged per new student. Reported amount: USD 90 per child.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term)
- Annual tuition (first child, approximate range by stage):
- Kindergarten: USD 1,300 per year.
- Secondary (upper grades / Grades 10–12): up to USD 2,100 per year.
- Sibling tuition (reported): second‑child annual tuition amounts are substantially lower; reported approximate range for a second child is USD 680–USD 1,020 per year.
- Per‑term amounts: the school operates on a multi‑term billing cycle (three main school terms). Where only an annual figure is published, a single term's fee is approximately one third of the annual tuition (annual ÷ 3). This division is an arithmetic approximation when only annual totals are available.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing follows the school's three‑term structure. Reported payment months for the academic year are at the start of each term (commonly August, a September/October term start, and February). Fees are typically due at the beginning of each term. Parents report that fees are expected on or very soon after term start.
- Late payment consequences and exact surcharge percentages were not publicly located in an accessible fee schedule for the requested year (see summary below).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered at the day campuses listed for American Intercon School; the school's campuses and contacts are described as day campuses. No boarding fee schedule was found.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- School meals: reported typical meal charge cited by families is about USD 60 per month per child (can vary by campus and meal plan choice). Meals may be optional for families who provide lunch from home.
- Uniforms: uniforms are charged separately; families report an additional cost for required uniforms. Exact uniform prices vary by item and campus.
- Textbooks and stationery: costs for textbooks and some learning materials may be charged separately or listed as a separate textbook fee depending on program/grade; families report additional textbook costs in relevant year groups.
- Transport (school bus): bus fees are charged in addition to tuition and vary by route/zone. Transport fees were reported as an additional cost by parents.
- Extracurricular/activity fees and special program fees: clubs, international trips, examination fees for external qualifications and optional activities are commonly charged extra. Specific activity fees vary by program and year.

Refund information
- No clear, up‑to‑date, publicly accessible refund policy or detailed refund schedule for deposits/tuition was found while compiling this overview for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year. Where refund rules were not posted, typical practice reported by parents is that some initial registration/entrance fees are non‑refundable; however, a specific published refund clause for the requested year was not located. See summary below for details on searches performed.

Fee payment options
- An AIS Online Payment / registration portal exists for family account access and payment, indicating online payment capability for tuition and related charges. Other accepted payment methods (bank transfer, cash, credit card) are handled through school administrative channels but explicit, campus‑by‑campus payment method lists were not publicly posted in accessible fee documents. Parents commonly arrange payment through the school office or the online portal.

Brief summary of findings and remaining gaps
- The figures above are drawn from the school's public campus pages and community reporting by parents and expatriate forums; core, consistent load‑bearing items—entrance/registration fee, an annual tuition range (approx. USD 1,300 to USD 2,100 for first child), a markedly lower rate for a second child, three‑term billing and reported meal/uniform/bus extras—are reflected in those sources.
- A full, official, up‑to‑date fee schedule specifically labelled for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 as the fallback) was not accessible during this search; certain line‑item values (exact per‑grade per‑term amounts, published refund terms, formal late‑payment penalties, and the complete list of accepted payment instruments) were not available in an accessible fee document. For that reason, some figures above are given as reported ranges or family‑reported amounts rather than a complete, official term‑by‑term published fee table.
