Introduction

HOPE International School was established in 2002 and follows an English-medium international curriculum from preschool through Grade 12. The campus is located to the north‑west of Phnom Penh, close to the international airport and described on the school website as a purpose-built campus on the edge of the city overlooking rice fields and open spaces. HOPE offers early years provision reporting against the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a primary programme based on the UK national curriculum, IGCSE in Grades 9–10 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Grades 11–12. The school notes a student body of about 270 and runs service-learning (Vision in Action / VIA) and IB CAS requirements in its upper years. Detailed tuition and additional fee schedules are published as documents linked from the Admissions / Application & Fees page.

The Essentials

HOPE International School has 400 pupils, instruction in English.

Location
HOPE International School is on Street TryHeng 3 in Sangkat Krang Thnong, Khan Sen Sok, northwest Phnom Penh (close to the international airport). The school site gives a full postal address and phone contacts for the Front Office; the campus is described as a purpose-built site on the edge of the city with open spaces and sports fields.

Stages
HOPE runs from Preschool (entry from age 3) through Kindergarten and Primary (Grades 1–5), Middle School (Grades 6–8) and High School (Grades 9–12). High school students follow IGCSE in Grades 9–10 and may study either the IB Diploma or the HOPE School Diploma in Grades 11–12.

Type
HOPE is an international, co-educational day school that serves children of Christian workers and other international families. The school also operates a homeschool support program; boarding is not described on the official school pages (some third‑party listings mention boarding provision, so confirm with the Admissions office).

Additional learning support
The website refers to a Student Support Team and procedures for wellbeing and pastoral care, and the school notes support for English language learners. Third‑party school listings indicate HOPE offers learning‑support roles (for example a Student Wellbeing Coordinator, guidance counsellor and Academic Resource Centre support staff); contact the school for current details and eligibility.

Country affiliation
HOPE is an international school based in Cambodia and was established to support missionary families; it is not presented as affiliated to a single foreign government or national system. Governance includes representatives from member mission organisations.

Religious affiliation
The school is explicitly Christian and describes its mission as providing Christ‑centred education; staff and board members sign a statement of Christian faith.

School day structure
The campus opens to drop‑offs from about 7:30am and students arriving after 8:05am are recorded as late; whole‑school assemblies are scheduled around 7:50am and primary pickup procedures reference parents being allowed in hallways from about 2:25pm. The site also publishes a live school calendar (term dates, assemblies and half‑day events).

Bus service
The school's public pages do not include a dedicated daily bus‑transportation page, though the school calendar shows buses used for sports/event trips (for example buses leaving for fixtures). Third‑party listings are inconsistent about whether a regular daily bus service is offered, so it's best to confirm current daily transport options (routes, costs and registration) with Admissions or the Front Office.

Academics

HOPE International School teaches EYFS (Early years foundation stage), British Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE, IB (DP) for students aged 3 to 18.

Curriculum
HOPE delivers an English-medium curriculum taught with a Biblical worldview and links assessment closely to learning objectives; external IGCSE and IB examinations are used to validate student learning. Preschool (ages 3–5) follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and reports against its seven areas of learning, with specialist Art, Music, Library and PE lessons. Primary (K–5) is based on the UK National Curriculum supplemented by integrated studies (science, health, social studies) and specialist subjects including Computing, Art, Music, Khmer or Korean language, Library and PE. Middle School (Grades 6–8) provides a continuum from Primary to IGCSE with core Mathematics, English, Science and SOSE plus Languages, Art, Music, Computer Science, PE, Christian Perspectives and a Health & Wellbeing programme. In High School, Grades 9–10 follow two-year Cambridge IGCSE courses (core English, English Literature, Maths, Coordinated Science and optional IGCSEs such as French, History, Computer Science and Additional Maths), and Grades 11–12 offer the two‑year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (three HL, three SL, TOK, CAS and Extended Essay) with a HOPE Diploma pathway for students who do not complete the full IB Diploma.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial enquiry and visit: Contact the Admissions office by phone, Telegram, or email to request information and arrange a school visit; the site lists phone numbers and the campus address for in-person visits. A visit is recommended so parents can see facilities, ask about grade-level placement, and confirm program fit before applying. Scheduling a visit also helps clarify fee expectations and the documents you will need to prepare.

2. Complete the online application and pay the application fee: Begin by filling out the school's online application form and submitting the required documents. A non‑refundable application fee of US$100 per student is due on submission and may be paid in cash or by bank transfer. Keep a copy of your payment receipt and the submitted application confirmation for your records.

3. Provide school records and (if applicable) missionary verification: Submit academic records for the past two school years (report cards preferred); if records are not in English, provide translated and authenticated copies. If you are applying as a missionary or full‑time Christian worker, include a verification letter from your organization with contact details and job information. These documents are used to assess historical placement and to advise on an appropriate grade level.

4. Placement testing (and ELL assessment if required): After the Admissions team reviews your application and documents, they will schedule placement testing—typically English and mathematics. Students who are English Language Learners will take an ELL assessment that covers writing, speaking, listening, and reading so staff can determine appropriate language support. Test results are considered together with records and recommendations when deciding grade placement.

5. Interview and admissions decision: The school may arrange an interview with a principal after reviewing application materials and test results. You will be notified of the admissions decision following the interview and review. If accepted, you have one month to confirm enrollment by paying the required fee and specifying a start date; if the student does not start within two months the offered placement may be withdrawn.

6. Enrollment formalities and orientation: Once tuition and required fees are paid, the school will complete the enrollment process and provide onboarding information for parents and students. New families are invited to attend an orientation session to learn school procedures, schedules, and expectations. Make sure you confirm payment deadlines and required documents (e.g., vaccinations, emergency contact details) before the first day.

7. Fees and follow-up details: HOPE publishes a dedicated Tuition & Other Fees document for the 2025–2026 school year and a separate Additional Fees document; these outline grade‑level tuition, payment methods, and any ancillary charges. The Admissions office can confirm current rates, available discount eligibility, and payment schedules—contact them if you need the specific fee table or a breakdown for your child's grade.

Scholarships
HOPE does not currently offer scholarships to prospective (incoming) students, according to the school's Frequently Asked Questions. However, the school states that enrolled families may be eligible for a limited scholarship program that provides temporary financial assistance in unforeseen circumstances, and that some discounts may be available for eligible applicants. For details about eligibility criteria, application procedures, and caps or durations of any assistance, contact the Admissions office directly; the school's fee documents for 2025–2026 and Admissions staff will clarify what temporary aid or discounts might be offered.

Waitlist
HOPE operates a waiting list system: if there is no immediate placement available after the admissions review, your child will be placed on a waiting list in accordance with the school's Admissions Policy. The published admissions information notes that offers must be confirmed within one month and that failure to begin within two months can result in loss of the offered placement; this timing also affects how long an offer is held before being released to another family. Parents should contact Admissions for their child's current position on the list and for guidance about likely wait times or alternative start dates—waiting‑list handling follows the formal Admissions Policy referenced on the school site.
