Note: the URL you supplied (https://www.cisp.edu.kh) is the website for the Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS). The information below is taken only from that school website. CIS opened in 2012 and operates three campuses in central Phnom Penh: the main Koh Pich (Diamond Island) campus for Elementary, Middle and High School, plus Bassac Garden and Olympia City campuses serving the Early Years program. CIS follows the Alberta (Canadian) curriculum and offers the Alberta High School Program alongside the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme; the site also states CIS is authorised to deliver the IB Primary Years Programme. The school publishes bilingual programmes in French and Mandarin (bilingual classes make up roughly 35% of the school day for enrolled students), and Khmer, French and Mandarin are taught as language subjects. CIS's website lists close to 1,000 students (Nursery–Grade 12), an active after‑school programme (Model United Nations, Robotics Club, Eco Club, Khmer Club, sports teams and more), a Soccer Academy for Grades 6–12, and specialist offerings including an Artist in Residence programme. For fees the site links to a 2025–2026 Fee Guide (PDF on Google Drive) but does not display a simple min–max tuition range on the public pages; the fee PDF is linked from the School Fees page. (All items above are taken from the CIS website.)

The URL you provided points to the Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS); the following overview is taken from that school's curriculum pages. CIS's Early Years Program (Nursery to Junior Kindergarten) follows Flight: Alberta's Early Learning and Care Framework and is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, with play‑based, developmentally appropriate learning. Elementary (Senior Kindergarten to Grade 6) uses the Alberta curriculum within an IB Primary Years (PYP) framework, delivering transdisciplinary learning in core subjects plus weekly Khmer, Mandarin, or French and optional French or Mandarin bilingual streams. Middle School (Grades 7–9) follows the Alberta Grade 7–9 curriculum with specialist teachers in English language arts, science, mathematics, social studies, health and life skills, and complementary courses such as art, drama, music, Khmer, Mandarin, and French. High School (Grades 10–12) offers the Alberta High School Program (a three‑year program leading to an Alberta High School Diploma requiring a minimum of 100 credits and a range of required and complementary courses) and, for Grades 11–12, the two‑year IB Diploma Programme with the six‑subject structure and core components (TOK, Extended Essay, CAS).
CIS states it delivers social-emotional learning through schoolwide initiatives and dedicated social-emotional counsellors who provide individual and group work to develop skills such as emotional regulation and conflict resolution. Teachers incorporate universal, evidence-based instructional practices and homeroom teachers act as daily mentors to support students' social and self-management skills. Targeted supports are offered for groups of students who need extra intervention to build social and emotional skills. The school also refers families to external mental health resources when appropriate. This provision and the role of counsellors and homeroom mentors are described on the school's Inclusive Education and Middle School pages.
CIS describes a continuum of inclusive supports including learning support teachers, speech-language services delivered by an on-staff speech-language pathologist, and social-emotional counselling to assist students with diverse learning needs. The school states these services are targeted supports and universal classroom strategies rather than highly specialised, individualised therapies. CIS explicitly notes it does not provide specialised on-site services such as physical therapy, medical care, formal psychological assessments, or assistive-technology provision. The website therefore indicates CIS is an inclusive school offering targeted learning and communication support but not a specialist SEN institution. These details are published on the school's Inclusive Education and Admissions pages.
CIS operates a specialist English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme and describes a skilled team of EAL teachers who work in small groups or provide targeted one-to-one support to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing. The admissions guidance states EAL support is provided for students in Grades 1–9, that exit from the programme occurs when grade-level proficiency is achieved, and that participation may incur additional fees. The school's Inclusive Education and Admissions pages provide these programme details and exit/fee information.
CIS identifies mental wellbeing provision through its social-emotional counselling services present in Elementary, Middle and High School, with counsellors offering individual and group support and crisis response. The Middle School page adds the school has a dedicated social-emotional and academic counsellor and describes daily homeroom mentoring and explicit teaching of self-management and social skills. The school also notes collaboration between counsellors, teachers and families and referral to external services when needed. These elements are described on the Inclusive Education and Middle School pages.
CIS sets out a formal Child Protection and Safeguarding framework: all staff are required to complete safeguarding training (teaching staff Level 1; other staff Awareness level) via childsafeguarding.org, and a Child Protection Team with designated leads operates across the school. The school requires staff to report suspected abuse via an internal referral system; it uses a risk-assessment matrix adapted from the UN Rights of the Child and displays team contact information and a QR referral link around campus. CIS states safeguarding is the responsibility of all staff and emphasises prompt, professional response to concerns. These policies and procedures are published on the school's Child Protection and Safeguarding page.
I noticed a mismatch before I proceed. The URL you provided (https://www.cisp.edu.kh) is the website for the Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS), while your request names the Cambridge International School of Cambodia. Which school would you like me to research and produce the detailed admissions, waitlist, and scholarships information for?
Please reply with one of the following options:
1. "Cambridge International School of Cambodia (CISC)" — I will use CISC's official site (cambridge.edu.kh) and other official pages to pull admissions steps, waitlist details, and scholarships.
2. "Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS)" — I will use the cisp.edu.kh site you supplied and extract the admissions steps, waitlist details, and scholarships from that school's pages.
If you want a comparison of both schools, say “Compare both” and I will fetch and summarize admissions, waitlist, and scholarship details for each.
Also tell me if you prefer fees shown in US dollars or Cambodian riels, and whether you want information for the current academic year (I will confirm the year on the school site).
