Introduction

New Gateway International School (NGIS) was founded in 2011 and is presented on the school site as a tri-lingual institution teaching Khmer, English and Chinese. NGIS delivers the Cambodian (Khmer) curriculum alongside UK Cambridge programmes in Primary and Secondary and an IEYC programme for Early Years; graduates receive Cambodian high-school certification and Cambridge qualifications. The school lists multiple Phnom Penh campuses: a head office/campus near the National Olympic Stadium (Veal Vong) and at least one campus closer to the airport (Sen Sok). Facilities noted on the site include a research laboratory, a computer laboratory, a library, and extracurricular provision such as arts, music and a sport club (swimming, soccer and related activities). The site also describes regular teacher–parent conferences and semester academic reports for parents.

The Essentials

New Gateway International School has instruction in English, Mandarin, Khmer.

Location
NGIS has campuses in Phnom Penh: Campus 1 is near the Olympic Stadium (No. 2, corner of St. 156 & 211, Sangkat Veal Vong, Khan 7 Makara) and Campus 2 is in the Sen Sok area near Phnom Penh International Airport (Lot 360, Oknha Try Heng, Sangkat Phnom Penh Themy, Khan Sen Sok). Both campuses are in urban Phnom Penh with road access to central neighbourhoods; parents typically travel by car or motorbike-taxi and public transport is available nearby.

Stages
NGIS runs Early Years (Nursery/Preschool/Kindergarten), Primary (P1–P6) and Secondary (Forms/Years up to upper secondary) and prepares students for Cambodian high‑school certification alongside UK/Cambridge and Oxford/A‑level–style qualifications. The school describes an Early Years programme (IEYC) and Cambridge/UK pathways in primary and secondary.

Type
NGIS is a tri‑lingual day school (instruction in Khmer, English and Chinese) that accepts both boys and girls; the school's public materials describe day programmes and do not list any boarding provision.

Additional learning support
The school lists general facilities such as a nursing service, library, laboratories and extra‑curricular activities but does not publish a dedicated learning‑support/SEN policy on its public pages. If your child needs formal additional learning support, contact the school admissions office with reports and assessment information so they can describe available in‑school or external support.

Country affiliation
NGIS is based in Cambodia and is not presented as being affiliated to another country; its curriculum information shows delivery of the Cambodian national programme alongside Cambridge/UK and approved Chinese language programmes.

Religious affiliation
The school's public information does not indicate any religious affiliation; programmes and materials describe secular academic and language programmes.

School day structure
Timings differ by level. Preschool/Kindergarten sessions run roughly 08:00–11:00 (morning English), lunch 11:00–13:00, afternoon sessions in Chinese and Khmer through about 16:30. Primary (P1–P6) and Secondary (Form 1–6) typically run 07:30–11:45, lunch 11:45–12:20 and afternoon classes 12:20–16:30. Check current term timetables with the school as exact times can vary.

Bus service
NGIS advertises a school bus/transportation service on its public pages but does not publish route maps or a named provider on the website; details (routes, stops, fees and safety arrangements) are handled by the school and should be requested from Admissions. Contact details for the campuses and admissions are available on the school site.

Academics

New Gateway International School teaches IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum), Cambridge (Primary), Cambridge (Secondary), Cambridge IGCSE for students aged 2 to 18.

Curriculum
New Gateway International School runs a continuous programme from Early Years to Secondary that uses the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) in Early Years and integrates the Cambodian national curriculum with a UK-based curriculum across Primary and Secondary. The school's materials describe the Primary/Secondary programme as Cambridge-based with IELTS preparation and testing, and its homepage also states it has adopted the Oxford (Oxford AQA) curriculum from Early Years through A Level. Instruction is trilingual (Khmer, English and Chinese) with integrated Chinese language and culture taught across stages. Graduating students receive the Cambodian High School Certificate and pursue internationally recognised UK qualifications (Cambridge and, where offered, Oxford AQA IGCSE/A‑Level credentials) in upper secondary. The full curriculum covers core subjects (mathematics, sciences, languages and the arts), project-based learning and extracurricular programmes, supported by laboratories, library and ICT resources, and is delivered in alignment with the Cambodian Ministry of Education.

Admissions

Admissions
1. First contact and information gathering. When you contact the school, note which campus you are enquiring about (NGIS operates multiple campuses) and ask whether the grade you want has current availability; the school's admissions page directs families to arrange a campus tour as the first formal step.

2. Schedule a campus tour and ask about program fit. NGIS specifically invites families to schedule a personalized tour so you can see classes and ask questions about the trilingual program (Khmer, English, Chinese) and facilities; tours are useful for confirming whether the school's day structure and language streams fit your child. While on the tour, ask for written information about tuition, fees and the school calendar for the year you plan to enroll (the site points to a tuition page and a 2025–2026 fee listing). Keep a note of who you spoke with and any deadlines they give you.

3. Check age and program entry requirements. NGIS accepts children from 30 months (2½ years) and older and runs Preschool, Nursery, Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary programs; confirm the exact minimum birthdate for the intended intake year so you meet the school's age cutoff. For older entrants, confirm whether the student will be placed into the English, Khmer, or Chinese stream and whether any prior curriculum records are required. If your child has special learning needs, mention this early so the school can confirm available support.

4. Complete application / registration forms. After the tour and initial enquiry, the school will ask you to complete an application or registration form (parents should request the form and written list of required documents). Typical required documents to request in advance are the child's birth certificate, passport or ID, recent school reports (if applicable), and immunization/health records; confirm whether originals or certified copies are needed and whether translation is required. Also ask about any one-time registration or administration fees and the deposit policy so you understand the first-year cost schedule.

5. Placement testing and language assessment. NGIS states that all students are given placement tests in English, Mathematics and Chinese to determine correct class placement; these tests are used to match the student to the appropriate level rather than as a pass/fail gate. Arrange the test date with admissions and ask whether the test is paper-based or online, how long it will take, and whether results are shared with parents. If your child is nervous about tests, ask whether the school offers a short orientation or sample materials to help them prepare.

6. Assessment outcome and placement offer. After the placement tests and review of documents, the admissions office will confirm placement or offer an alternative recommendation (for example, remedial support or a different language stream). At this stage ask for a written offer that shows the exact fee schedule, payment deadlines, any refundable deposits, and the date by which you must accept the place. If the school proposes a conditional placement (academic support, probationary period, etc.), request the written conditions and how progress will be monitored.

7. Fees, contract and payment. NGIS posts a tuition page and indicates a full fee listing for the 2025–2026 year is available (request the current fee schedule in writing). Third‑party published fee listings for NGIS (published years may differ) show a range of annual tuition and note one-time registration/admin items — confirm the exact amounts, whether fees are quoted in KHR or USD, whether extras (books, uniforms, transport, lunches, exams) are included, and the school's refund policy for deposits. Ask for a payment schedule (termly vs annual), accepted payment methods, and whether sibling discounts or early-payment discounts apply.

8. Finalise enrolment and orientation. Once you accept the place and complete required payments and paperwork, the school will confirm your child's start date and enrolment details; ask for a parent checklist (uniforms, start‑of‑year meetings, student handbook, school hours, and material lists). Request contact details for your child's homeroom teacher or year-level coordinator and the dates for any orientation sessions so your child's first weeks are clearer. Keep copies of all signed contracts and payment receipts.

Scholarships
NGIS refers to a “Scholarship Facility” on one of its public pages and external coverage notes that the school has offered educational scholarships (one report mentions scholarships targeted at high-achieving students around Grade 9). However, the school's main admissions and tuition pages do not publish detailed criteria, application deadlines, or the amount/coverage of any scholarships online. For precise eligibility rules (merit vs financial need), application steps, deadlines, and whether scholarships cover tuition only or also include fees/materials, you should request the school's scholarship policy directly from admissions or via the school email (info@ngis.edu.kh). Because public information is limited and sometimes appears only in brief mentions, ask the school for written confirmation about available scholarship types, any required examinations or interviews, and the timeline for decisions.

Waitlist
Public information on NGIS's website does not describe a formal, published waitlist or pool system for places; the school's admissions page focuses on tours, the minimum age and placement testing but does not detail a waitlist procedure. If a program or grade is full, standard practice at schools in the region is to ask to be placed on an internal waiting list or to register for the next intake — because NGIS does not publish a waitlist policy online, contact the admissions office directly (email info@ngis.edu.kh or call the campus numbers) to ask whether they maintain a waitlist, how they prioritise spots (date of application, siblings, returning families, etc.), and if there is a deposit required to hold a place. If you are placing requests for high‑demand years (early years or exam-year grades), register early, document your contact dates, and ask the school to confirm any waiting-list position in writing.
