Introduction

Footprints International School operates two campuses in Phnom Penh (Toul Kork and Toul Tom Poung) and offers classes from Nursery through Grade 12. Established in 2007, the school is WASC-accredited and delivers the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) together with the Cambridge curriculum (CAIE — including IGCSE and AS/A levels); it also runs a MoEYS-recognised National Programme and the International Programme with Khmer Language & Culture for G1–G5. The Early Childhood Programme accepts children from about 1.5 years, with Kindergarten students graduating near age six. The published 2025–26 fee schedule shows annual tuition from US$2,706 (part‑time Nursery/PreK2) to US$6,250 (Grades 9–12). Footprints lists over 1,100 students across both campuses and offers optional daily school bus transport; specialist subjects include Mandarin, art, music and PE, and after-school options include football, Chinese classes, taekwondo and arts & crafts.

The Essentials

Footprints International School - TK Campus has 1,000 pupils, instruction in English.

Location
Footprints International School is in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, operating two urban campuses: Toul Kork (Building A, No.16–18, Street 570) and Toul Tom Poung (Building A, No.84, Street 135 / intersection with Street 470). Both campuses serve Nursery–Grade 12 and list campus contact numbers and opening hours on the school site/handbook; they are located in central city districts commonly reached by car, taxi or tuk‑tuk—contact the school for specific directions or pickup points.

Stages
The school runs from Nursery through Grade 12. Early Childhood covers ages ~1.5–5 (Nursery to Kindergarten); Primary is Grades 1–5; Secondary covers lower and upper secondary through Grade 12. Footprints offers Cambridge (CAIE) pathways alongside a Cambodian National Programme.

Type
Footprints is a co‑educational international day school (no boarding is listed). It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and authorised to deliver IEYC and Cambridge programmes while also being licensed by the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport.

Additional learning support
The school operates a Centre for Wellbeing and Career Excellence (CWCE) that coordinates counselling, early identification, a three‑tier assessment system, targeted support and referrals to external specialists via a CARE Centre. The handbook sets out processes for assessment, individual planning and referrals; parents should contact Admissions/Family Engagement for details about specific learning‑support arrangements.

Country affiliation
Footprints is an international school based in Cambodia and is licensed by the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport; it is not presented as affiliated to any single foreign country.

No religious affiliation is stated in the school's published materials or parent handbook.

School day structure
Daily timings vary by programme: Early Childhood (Nursery–Kindy) runs roughly 8:00am–4:00pm with morning, lunch/napping and afternoon sessions; Primary International classes typically run 7:45am–1:50pm (with snack and lunch breaks); Secondary International classes start at 8:00am and run until about 2:35pm (one‑hour lunch). The campus gate opens earlier (a gate babysitter from 7:00am is noted) and the handbook gives precise session times by year group.

Bus service
The school publishes a paid bus service covering many parts of Phnom Penh. Each bus is staffed with a bus monitor; parents must register through the school office, the bus will not wait more than five minutes at stops, and the school may be unable to accommodate families living a long distance from campus. For routes, fees and registration, contact the Family Engagement/Admissions office.

Academics

Footprints International School - TK Campus teaches IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum), Cambridge (Primary), Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels, Cambridge A Levels for students aged 1.5 to 18.

Curriculum
Footprints International School delivers an inquiry-based programme from nursery to Grade 12: the Early Childhood Programme uses the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), the school follows Cambridge Assessment (CAIE) frameworks through Primary and Secondary, and the school is accredited by WASC. Early Childhood (ages 1.5–5) combines play-based IEYC units with Cambridge outcomes in Kindergarten to prepare children for Stage 1 Cambridge learning. Primary (Grades 1–5) follows the Cambridge Primary framework with core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science, Global Perspectives, PSHE) plus specialist Art, Music and PE, and families can choose Dual (Cambridge+National), International (Cambridge only) or an International pathway with additional Khmer language and culture. Secondary offers core Lower Secondary subjects and an Upper Secondary curriculum where students select sciences or humanities; students sit IGCSE examinations in Grade 10 and may take AS/A Levels in Grades 11–12. In parallel, Footprints runs a Ministry of Education (MoEYS)-licensed Khmer (National) Programme across Primary and Secondary with national study hours and national exams (including Grade 6, Grade 9 and Grade 12) that lead to the national diploma.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Footprints states it teaches social‑emotional skills through curriculum and whole‑school initiatives: the Primary programme includes PSHE using the Jigsaw framework and the Early Childhood programme uses IEYC activities such as drama and role play to develop emotional and social skills. The school's Centre for Wellbeing and Career Excellence (CWCE) explicitly lists social‑emotional learning as a core focus and coordinates schoolwide SEL work. Student voice is enabled through a Student Council (which includes wellbeing roles) and PSHE/IEYC lessons are referenced in the school curriculum documents. These provisions are described on the school website and in the Student & Parent Handbook.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Footprints publishes a named SEN provision called ‘FIS CARE' and states that it welcomes students with learning support needs. The school's Khmer site text and enrolment information explicitly refer to supporting learners diagnosed with conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The Student & Parent Handbook includes an Inclusion entry and describes a tiered assessment/intervention process coordinated by the CWCE and the Head of the Centre for Wellbeing. The school does not describe itself as a specialist SEN institution; instead it presents FIS CARE as an in‑school inclusion/learning‑support programme.

Mental Wellbeing
Footprints has a formal Centre for Wellbeing and Career Excellence (CWCE) that adopts a whole‑school approach to mental health, describes a three‑tier assessment/intervention model, and offers support groups and individual counselling coordinated by the Head of the Centre. The Student & Parent Handbook lists specific activities such as wellbeing weeks, parent workshops, signposting to external services, and referrals to specialist services when needed. The school also reports using the Komodo wellbeing platform to gather wellbeing data and support interventions. These mental‑wellbeing functions are described in the handbook and in school news.

Safeguarding
Footprints publicly states a focus on child protection within the CWCE and its whole‑school policies, and the Student & Parent Handbook describes referral routes, consent procedures and tiered support linked to safeguarding processes. The school has published news of a formal partnership and recognition with the ChildSafe Movement (ChildSafe Star Partner) to strengthen its child‑protection work. WASC accreditation documents referenced on the site also note the presence of a child‑protection policy aligned with international expectations. These items are published on the school website and in their handbook.
Parent Experience

History
Footprints International School was established in 2007 and has since grown to serve more than 1,000 students. It operates two main campuses (Toul Tom Poung and Toul Kork) and provides programmes from early childhood through Grade 12. The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and offers internationally recognised curricula alongside a Ministry‑approved national pathway. Administrative and enrolment payments on the site are processed in the name EDUINVEST INTERNATIONAL CO LTD, which is listed as the beneficiary for bank transfers.

Community
The school community includes over 1,000 students and a largely Cambodian family body—approximately 95% Khmer with a small mix of other nationalities. Footprints publishes News and Events pages and runs a range of extracurricular options such as football, Chinese classes, arts & crafts, taekwondo and gymnastics that are open to students. Parent–school communication and family activities are coordinated through a Family Engagement Office and a Parent Liaison Officer, who manage enrolment meetings, communications and activity sign‑ups.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The school website does not show a dedicated Parent Teacher Association (PTA) page or a published PTA committee structure. Parent engagement on the site is organised through the Family Engagement Office and a Parent Liaison Officer; the site describes family meetings, screening interviews, and use of school email for parent–teacher communication. The Parent Handbook, School Calendar and Events/News pages are the primary published channels for parent information, and parents are instructed to contact the Family Engagement Office to sign children up for school lunches and extracurricular activities. If you need formal PTA documents, meeting schedules, or volunteer group details, the website suggests contacting the Family Engagement Office or using the listed enquiry phone/email to request the most current information.

All items above are taken from the school's publicly available news and programme pages.

Accreditations

Admissions

Admissions
1. Make an enquiry: Contact the Family Engagement / admissions team to start the process and to arrange a campus visit or initial conversation. The website lists a central enquiry phone number (017 222 084) and an online enquiry form; parents should be ready to state the child's name, proposed start date, grade and preferred campus (Toul Kork or Toul Tom Poung) when they call. Families who want a specific start date or a place in a popular year level should enquire early because places are limited per grade.

2. Family meeting and assessment: For Nursery–PreK2 the school arranges a family screening interview (Parent Liaison Officer) to review the child's social and academic development and discuss family expectations. For Kindergarten through Grade 12 the school requires age-appropriate Mathematics and Literacy placement tests; these tests must be scheduled in advance through the office. Expect the school to use the interview and/or test results to advise an appropriate placement and to identify any support needs.

3. Submit required documentation: The school requires specific documents at application stage: birth certificate or passport, previous school reports/transcripts, vaccination record, an official transfer document for the Khmer (national) curriculum for transfers in Grade 2 and above, and two 4 x 6 cm coloured photographs. Parents should prepare original documents and clear scanned copies; some items (for example transfer paperwork for MoEYS national programme students) can take time to obtain so factor that into your timeline. Check in advance whether documents must be certified or translated for your child's application.

4. School accounts and communication set-up: After paperwork is accepted the school provides Footprints email addresses for parents and students and uses that email for regular communication and Google Classroom access. Parents are asked to confirm they can access the school email (an IT representative will assist on site) because teachers and administrative notices will be sent there. If you prefer another primary contact method (phone/WhatsApp), confirm with admissions how that will be used alongside the official school email.

5. Bring-your-own-device and IT safety: Footprints requires students to bring devices for Google Classroom; the Enrollment Process specifies this policy applies to Grade 6–12 (parents are asked to bring a device to register during enrolment). The school's IT team installs a firewall and blocks social media, adult and non-educational sites on student devices — parents should be prepared to discuss acceptable-device types (laptop, Chromebook, tablet) and any device security questions at registration. If your child will join a lower grade, check with admissions whether different device expectations apply for that year.

6. Acceptance, payment and place confirmation: Once the school accepts a student, payment of the enrolment fee, capital and administration fees is required before attendance can start. The website notes the enrolment fee holds a child's place for only five working days (parents must complete requested forms and payments in that period) and that payment of the capital & administration fee will guarantee a place; the site also gives bank transfer details (ABA, beneficiary EDUINVEST INTERNATIONAL CO LTD, Account No. 000145244. and contact emails for confirming transfers. Parents should confirm the total first-year cost (tuition, capital/admin, books, placement-test fee and any applicable exam fees such as IGCSE/A‑Level), and ask for an itemised invoice before transferring funds.

Scholarships
The Footprints website and the official AY 2025–2026 fees document do not advertise a scholarship programme for fee remission or needs‑based awards. The published fee schedule does, however, list several fee concessions and commercial discounts that parents should be aware of: a 10% discount is noted for certain full‑year payments, sibling discounts (generally 15% for the second child and 20% for the third child) are explicitly listed, and there is a specified 15% promotional discount for certain early years (Nursery and Pre‑K1) for the 2025–2026 year. In addition, the school lists standard additional charges parents must budget for (placement‑test fee, book fees, Cambridge exam fees for IGCSE/AS/A levels, replacement document fees, etc.). If you need financial support or a specific scholarship, contact the Family Engagement / admissions team directly to ask whether any fee‑assistance, local bursaries or case‑by‑case arrangements are available — these are not described in the public documents.

Waitlist
Footprints does not publish a formal, public waitlist policy on its website, but the admissions pages make clear there are limited places per grade and that an enrolment fee only holds a place for five working days. Because places are limited the school commonly manages capacity at grade level; third‑party school listings note that a waiting list is used for grades that are full. Practically, parents should assume a place is not secured until the required payments are completed (capital/administration fee in particular) and should ask admissions whether a waitlist exists for their child's target grade and how the school prioritises entries. For these points see the school's Enrollment/Fees pages and the published fees document.
