École Française Internationale de Phnom Penh (EFI) operates its primary, middle, and high school cycles on the Koh Pich campus. The school is distinct for its bilingual immersion program utilizing two native-speaking teachers simultaneously per classroom, delivering lessons in both French and English. Parents select between the International stream, which features a sixty-forty language ratio, or the French stream. The academic structure merges the French National Education framework alongside Cambridge Assessment International Education, preparing older students directly for the French National Diploma, Cambridge IGCSEs, and A-Levels. Located on a three-hectare site, this specific campus provides an amphitheater with six hundred seats, a twenty-five-meter swimming pool, two full sports halls, a fitness room, two school restaurants, and two libraries. Co-curricular options offer basketball, badminton, swimming, judo, philosophy, and drama club, ensuring structured opportunities for student exploration outside regular lessons. For students who achieve dual-language fluency, a third elective path in Khmer or Mandarin Chinese is officially provided.
Note: the URL you supplied (https://www.cisp.edu.kh) is the website for the Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS). The information below is taken only from that school website. CIS opened in 2012 and operates three campuses in central Phnom Penh: the main Koh Pich (Diamond Island) campus for Elementary, Middle and High School, plus Bassac Garden and Olympia City campuses serving the Early Years program. CIS follows the Alberta (Canadian) curriculum and offers the Alberta High School Program alongside the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme; the site also states CIS is authorised to deliver the IB Primary Years Programme. The school publishes bilingual programmes in French and Mandarin (bilingual classes make up roughly 35% of the school day for enrolled students), and Khmer, French and Mandarin are taught as language subjects. CIS's website lists close to 1,000 students (Nursery–Grade 12), an active after‑school programme (Model United Nations, Robotics Club, Eco Club, Khmer Club, sports teams and more), a Soccer Academy for Grades 6–12, and specialist offerings including an Artist in Residence programme. For fees the site links to a 2025–2026 Fee Guide (PDF on Google Drive) but does not display a simple min–max tuition range on the public pages; the fee PDF is linked from the School Fees page.
