Introduction

Eco International School operates multiple campuses in Phnom Penh and runs Early Years, Kindergarten and Primary programmes (Early Years 2–5; Kindergarten 5–6; Primary Grade 1–6). The school's website states it uses the Cambodian national curriculum alongside international curricula from the United Kingdom and runs STEAM and environmental-education activities; it also notes a five-day trial for children under five and free late pickup until 17:30. Campuses are listed in Daun Penh (Samdach Pan Ave and Street 242), Boeung Snor (National Road 1) and a Veng Sreng campus opening in ISI Park (site lists addresses for each campus). The website shows small class sizes (stated as 15–20) and mentions an available school-bus service (with campus-specific bus options).

The Essentials

Eco International School has typical class sizes of 15, instruction in English.

Location
Eco International School has several Phnom Penh campuses: Campus 1 on Samdach Pan Avenue (214) in Daun Penh, two Chaktomuk addresses on Street 242 (Khan Daun Penh), Campus 3 on National Road 1 in Chbar Ampov (Boeung Snor), and a Veng Sreng campus (KMH Blvd., ISI Park) opening August 2026. These sites are in inner-city and suburban districts with road access to central Phnom Penh; specific campus addresses and phone/email contacts are listed on the school website and FAQs.

Stages
The school currently runs Early Years (from age 2), Kindergarten and Primary (Grade 1–6); a Secondary programme (Grades 7–12) is listed as “coming soon.” Program ages and the listed stages are on the school site.

Type
Eco International School operates as a day school serving preschool through primary-age students; the website and public listings describe day programmes and do not mention boarding facilities. The school admits both boys and girls (co-educational).

Additional learning support
The school's public pages and FAQ describe admissions, trials for under‑5s and general pastoral care but do not provide a dedicated description of Additional Learning Needs / SEN provision. Prospective parents should contact admissions directly for details about individual learning‑support services or specialist staff.

Country affiliation
The school is based in Cambodia and delivers the Cambodian National Curriculum alongside international (United Kingdom) curricula elements; it is not presented as being affiliated to another country's national school system.

Religious affiliation
No religious affiliation is stated on the school website or public listings; the school presents itself as a secular international day school.

School day structure
Early Years and Kindergarten hours are listed as half‑day 08:00–11:00 or full‑day 08:00–16:00 with free late pickup until 17:30; Primary is listed as a full day 08:00–16:30 with free late pickup until 17:30. Office hours for campus visits are Monday–Friday 07:30–17:30 and Saturday 08:00–12:00.

Bus service
A school bus service is available but appears limited to specific campuses (listed as available for Campus 3 / Boeung Snor in the school's announcements and third‑party directory pages). The school has in the past promoted discounts for the bus on particular campuses and advises parents to contact admissions for routes, fees and registration.
Diving Deeper

Governance and Ownership
The school operates four campuses in Phnom Penh: Campus 1, Samdach Pan Ave. (214), Khan Daun Penh; Campus 2, Chaktomuk Campus at Street 242 (Nos. 71 and 63-65), Khan Daun Penh; Campus 3, Boeung Snor Campus (No. 28), National Road No.1, Khan Chbar Ampov; Campus 4, Veng Sreng Campus (KMH Blvd., ISI Park Veng Sreng), Khan Porsenchey (opening August 2026).
Fees

Annual tuition at Eco International School ranges from KHR 15,745,960 to KHR 17,739,119 for 2026/27.

*Application fees*
- The school does not publish a separate, non‑refundable application or administrative fee on its public admissions pages; the school's promotional material lists “Affordable tuition – No administrative fees.”

*Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term notes)*
- Published, public fee schedules with line‑by‑line per‑year‑group and per‑term charges are not available on the school's official site. Third‑party school listings report annual tuition ranges for Eco International School as approximately KHR 16,322,000 to KHR 18,388,000 (common range reported for Early Years and Primary levels). Use these annual ranges as the available public guidance.
- Per‑term detail is not published by the school. If the school operates a standard three‑term academic year (academic calendar entries indicate multiple term starts during the year), a simple division of the annual figure by three gives an indicative per‑term amount; however, no official per‑term tariff is published.

*Billing schedule and payment terms*
- The school calendar references term starts and term events, indicating a term‑based academic year. No official, detailed billing schedule (exact invoice dates, due‑dates, penalties for late payment, or whether tuition is payable annually, per term, or monthly) is published on the school's public pages. Parents should expect termly billing consistent with the school calendar unless otherwise advised by admissions.

*Boarding fees*
- Eco International School is presented as a day school; there is no published boarding provision or boarding fee schedule. No boarding fees are listed in the public material.

*Other costs and extra charges*
- Specific line items such as uniform costs, textbooks, activity fees, transport (school bus), exam fees or capital levies are not published in a detailed public fee schedule. Third‑party listings do reference tuition‑only ranges and separate short‑term program fees (for example, summer camp day rates are published on local event listings).

*Refund information*
- No publicly available, detailed refund or deposit policy (amounts refundable, conditions for refund, notice periods) is published on the school website or in the public listings examined. The school does not publish a standard refundable deposit schedule in its public materials.

*Fee payment options*
- The school's public pages do not list accepted payment methods (credit card, local or international bank transfer, cash, or online payment portal) or banking details. Admissions contact details are provided for enquiries and arrangements.

Summary of limitations found (brief):
- The official school site does not publish a complete, itemised fee schedule showing application fees, tuition by grade with per‑term figures, payment deadlines, refundable deposits, uniforms, or accepted payment methods. Available public figures are limited to annual tuition ranges reported by third‑party school directories. For the purposes of an external database, the information above reflects what is publicly available and where public detail is missing.
Academics

Eco International School teaches IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum), British Curriculum, Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 2 to 12.

Curriculum
Eco International School uses a dual model that combines the Cambodian national curriculum with international (UK-based) programmes and implements the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) for its youngest learners. Early Years and Kindergarten serve children roughly 2–5 years (kindergarten around 5–6) and follow IEYC alongside Cambodian curriculum content. Primary covers Grade 1–Grade 6 (age 6+) and operates a hybrid British and Cambodian curriculum with focus on core subjects plus a STEAM approach. The school integrates environmental education, character development and experiential learning across stages and offers extracurriculars such as music (digital piano from Grade 2), school gardening and recycling projects. A full secondary programme (Grades 7–12) is described as forthcoming, so specific upper‑secondary qualifications are not currently listed on the school's public materials.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Eco International School's website states the school places emphasis on “character building, environmental education, and STEAM programs” which it says guide students' curiosity, self‑understanding, communication and critical thinking. The site also highlights small class sizes and regular parent updates as part of its approach to student care. The school does not, however, publish a named SEL curriculum, details of specific SEL programmes, or a dedicated SEL/pastoral team on its publicly available pages.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Eco International School's public website describes its early years and primary programmes and general focus on care and safety, but it does not publish a clear Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy or a list of the types of SEN it can support. There is no indication on the school's public pages that it is a specialist SEN institution. If you need to know whether the school can support a specific diagnosed need, contact the school directly for assessment and written confirmation.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school says it uses international curricula modelled on United Kingdom frameworks and the IEYC for early years, which implies a strong English‑language curriculum influence. However, Eco International School's website does not publish explicit information about EAL programmes, specialist EAL staff, entry assessments for English language learners, or dedicated EAL support. If EAL provision is required, the school recommends contacting them directly to confirm available support.

Mental Wellbeing
On its public pages the school states it aims to provide “a safe and supportive atmosphere” and highlights character‑building activities and small class sizes as part of student care. The website does not, however, publish details of specific mental‑health or counselling services, named wellbeing staff, or formal wellbeing programmes and policies. For clarity about counselling or clinical mental‑health support, parents should request the school's current pastoral/wellbeing provisions in writing.

Safeguarding
Eco International School's website highlights safety and a “safe and supportive atmosphere” among its core messages and lists safety and hygiene in its ‘Why Us' points. The site does not publish a full child‑protection or safeguarding policy, nor the names/contacts of a designated safeguarding lead, on its publicly accessible pages. If you require the school's safeguarding policy or details of safeguarding contacts, request these directly from the school (they are commonly provided to parents on admission).
Parent Experience

History
Eco International School's publicly available About and admissions pages do not list a formal founding year but describe the school's program development and campus roll‑out. The school now operates multiple campuses in Phnom Penh (Samdach Pan, Street 242, Boeung Snor) and notes a fourth campus at ISI Park Veng Sreng planned to open in August 2026. A 3 October 2025 memorandum with developer Urbanland names the school's co‑founders and describes a private partnership supporting the school's expansion. The school also publicly opened enrollment for the 2025–2026 academic year, with the term start date published as 4 August 2025.

Community
The school serves a diverse student body—an Urbanland announcement notes more than 400 students from over 20 nationalities across its campuses. The school's calendar and news pages show recurring community activities such as winter and summer camps, end‑of‑term events, and scheduled parent–teacher conferences (PTCs), and the site emphasizes frequent communications with parents. Local coverage and the school's own descriptions highlight environmental and STEAM activities (school gardening, recycling projects, Earth Day campaigns) as regular parts of student and community life.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The school's public website does not include a detailed description of an active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or a published PTA committee structure. The published calendar does list “PTC” (parent–teacher conferences) and other parent‑oriented events, indicating regular formal points of contact between families and teachers. The site and local coverage reference frequent parent communications and campus news, but there are no publicly posted PTA meeting minutes, volunteer group pages, or a fundraising calendar that explicitly identify a PTA. For up‑to‑date details about membership, meeting schedules, volunteer roles, or fundraising activities, the school directs families to contact campus leadership or admissions; phone numbers and an email are provided on the school site. If you'd like, I can draft an email or a short list of questions you can send to the school to confirm whether a PTA exists and to request its meeting schedule and recent activity list.

Reputation

Awards
There are no school-level awards (awards given to the institution itself) published on Eco International School's public website for the past five years (or earlier) as of December 30, 2025. The site's news/events and overview pages do not show announcements of awards to the school. (If you would like, I can search external sources to see whether any awards have been reported elsewhere; you asked that I include only items shown on the school website for this response.)
Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial enquiry and information-gathering. Contact the school to confirm which campus you are interested in and to check class availability; the school publishes office hours and recommends a campus visit during Monday–Friday 7:30–17:30 or Saturday morning. Ask for the most up-to-date fee schedule, transport options and any current promotions before you proceed, since discounts (for example sibling or campus-specific offers) are sometimes available.

2. Schedule and attend a campus tour. The school recommends an in-person tour (typically around 30–40 minutes) so you can see classrooms, ask about the curriculum (IEYC / British and Cambodian options) and check facilities for your child's age group; bring your child if you think a short visit would help with transition. During the visit confirm start times for the Early Years/Kindergarten versus Primary day schedules and whether the campus you choose runs the British or Cambodian curriculum for the relevant year level.

3. Complete the enrollment form and prepare required documents. Parents are asked to fill in the school's enrolment/registration form and submit standard documents such as the child's birth certificate, vaccination/health record, passport-size photos, and a parent/guardian ID or passport; different campuses may request the same list. Verify whether the school requires original documents for sighting or certified copies and whether the form can be completed online or must be handed in at reception.

4. Trial class or assessment (when applicable). For children under five the school offers a five-day trial period to check readiness and help the child settle; parents should ask in advance for the trial terms and how attendance during the trial is recorded. For older children the school may use a brief informal assessment or meeting with a teacher to confirm the right placement—ask what format the assessment takes and whether results affect start date or class allocation.

5. Offer of place and fee/payment arrangements. When a place is available the school will confirm offer details and the fees due — ask explicitly if there are any one-time registration fees, deposits, or ‘administrative' charges (several recent notices indicate the school advertises “no administrative fees,” but always confirm current policy). Ask about payment schedules, sibling discounts, and any campus-specific tuition promotions so you know the net cost before completing enrolment.

6. Final registration, transport and first-day logistics. After you accept the place complete any final paperwork and payments, sign the school's terms and confirm bus routes (if needed), uniforms and book lists; the school provides information on bus discounts at certain campuses. Check the online school calendar or ask admissions for term start dates, school hours for your child's year group, and the school's policy on late pickup so you can plan childcare and transport on the first day.

Scholarships
The school does not advertise formal scholarships or need‑based financial aid on its public pages. However, recent school notices and local school listings show published tuition discounts and promotional concessions: sibling discounts (reported as 5% for the second child and 10% for the third), a 10% promotional discount on Primary tuition at a specific campus (Campus 3 / Boeung Snor) for the 2025–2026 intake, and a bus-service discount (reported as 30% at Campus 3). The school also indicates ‘no administrative fees' in some communications, which affects the up-front cost of enrolment. If you need fee relief beyond these published discounts, contact the admissions office directly (use the admissions email/phone on the school site) to ask whether any additional financial assistance, payment plans, or case-by-case waivers are available and what documentation would be required.

Waitlist
The school website states that admissions are open throughout the year and that enrolment is based on class availability; there is no clearly publicised, formal ‘waitlist' process described on the site. Because the school accepts students ‘based on class availability' the practical outcome is that if a class is full you should contact admissions and ask to be placed on any informal waiting list or to be notified when a space opens. If you need priority information (for example because you require a guaranteed start date), request written confirmation from admissions about whether they can hold a place, the expected timeline, or any priority categories (siblings, staff children, etc.).
