About international schools in Cambodia

Chinese-curriculum international schools in Cambodia are concentrated mainly in Phnom Penh and typically offer trilingual programmes that mix Mandarin, English and Khmer; school models range from those following the Chinese national curriculum to bilingual campuses that combine Mandarin instruction with international programmes such as Cambridge or IB or with the Cambodian national curriculum. Annual fees for Chinese-track places commonly sit in the mid-range of Phnom Penh international-school costs, with published examples often in the low-to-mid millions of Cambodian riel per year, though individual campuses and age groups vary widely. Admissions generally follow the international-school calendar with the main intake before the new school year and many schools publishing next-year fee schedules and assessment dates several months in advance. Families relocating to Cambodia should check the language balance (which subjects are taught in Mandarin versus English or Khmer), whether the school’s qualification pathway is recognised for university entry where they plan to study, and what support is available for children who do not yet speak Mandarin.

FAQs for Cambodia

What is the difference between a school that follows the Chinese national curriculum and a bilingual Chinese-curriculum international school?
A school following the Chinese national curriculum will structure learning, assessment and progression around standards used in mainland China and may use Mandarin as the main medium for many subjects. A bilingual Chinese-curriculum international school typically mixes Mandarin instruction with substantial English teaching and often maps parts of the programme to international frameworks (for example Cambridge or IB) or to the Cambodian national curriculum, which affects subject choice, assessment styles and university progression routes.
Which languages will my child be taught in and what is the usual medium of instruction?
Most Chinese-curriculum schools in Cambodia teach Mandarin as a core language and will also provide substantial English instruction and Khmer lessons; the precise medium differs by school and by subject, with some schools teaching science or maths in Mandarin and others teaching those subjects in English. Parents should ask each school for a timetable or subject matrix that shows which subjects are taught in which language and what support is available for non-Mandarin speakers.
How much do Chinese-curriculum international schools in Cambodia typically cost?
Fees vary, but published examples for Chinese-track places in Phnom Penh commonly fall in the low-to-mid millions of Cambodian riel per year; beyond these examples there is a broad market spread depending on campus, age and included services. Additional one-off charges such as enrolment deposits, capital or registration fees and optional extras (meals, transport, extracurriculars) are common, so parents should request a full fee schedule for the year they intend to enrol.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
The main intake aligns with the international-school year, so parents should apply in the months before the new school year when schools publish places and fee schedules, though some schools also accept enrolments on a rolling basis if places are available. Admissions commonly include submission of academic records, an application or registration fee, and an assessment or interview (academic or language) for the child; early enquiries are recommended because popular age groups can fill quickly.
What practical things should parents compare when choosing a Chinese-curriculum school?
Ask about the language balance across subjects, teacher qualifications and native-speaker staffing for Mandarin, the school’s stated progression routes and how its qualifications are accepted by universities in China and elsewhere, and the availability of support for children learning English or Mandarin as an additional language. Also check fee inclusions and extra costs, safeguarding and pastoral provision, class sizes, transport options, and whether the school assists with paperwork or guidance relevant to relocating families.
