International schools in Phnom Penh

School places in some year groups are limited. The practical sequence is a current city listing, then each school's own admissions page, then a visit if you are already in the country.

Phnom Penh has the largest group of international schools in Cambodia. Curricula differ (some follow an International Baccalaureate programme, some a national curriculum from another country), and so do the year groups they enrol, the language of instruction, and the application calendar. A school's website is the place to read the current fees, the waiting list, and whether a place is actually open.

For a current directory of schools in the city, start from each school's own website or from a current public listing. A listing is not an endorsement, and it will not include every school. Use it to collect names, then read each school's admissions page before you apply or pay a fee.

If you are moving mid-year, say so early. Some schools enrol only at the start of a term. Take copies of recent reports and any assessment the school asks for, and do not assume a place in one year group guarantees a place for a sibling.
