An annual re‑enrolment deposit is required to reserve a pupil's place for the following year.
Boarding fees - No boarding provision or boarding fees are published for Bromsgrove International School Cambodia on the school's public admissions and fees pages. The school presents itself as an Early Years–Year 13 day school.
Other costs and typical additional charges - Capital / one‑time charges and other first‑year one‑off fees are applied in the first year of enrolment (example entries in third‑party fee listings include an application fee and a capital fee in KHR).

Some of these items (application fee, enrolment deposits, uniform, materials, capital fees) are stated as non‑refundable.
Refund information - All fees other than tuition are strictly non‑refundable (this includes application fees, enrolment deposits, uniform, materials and capital fees). Tuition fees are refundable only in the case of a full term of non‑attendance; once a pupil has attended any part of a term, tuition for that term is not eligible for refund.
Sibling discounts - Published third‑party fee summaries indicate sibling discounts (for example, 5% for the second child and 10% for the third and subsequent children). Confirmed sibling discount policy appears in external fee listings.
Fee payment options and contact for finance - The school's public fee pages set out invoicing and deadlines but do not list specific payment channels (bank transfer, card processors) on the fee page itself. For the school's accepted payment methods and to request payment instructions or an official invoice, contact the Admissions / Finance team by the published phone or email. Admissions: admissions@bisc.edu.kh | +855 127 18 555.
(Amounts above are taken from the school's published fee schedule image and third‑party fee listings summarising the School Fees 2025–2026; annual figures are shown in KHR and per‑term figures are provided as the annual amount divided into three parts for parent budgeting.)

Admissions
1. Submit an application: Begin by completing and submitting the official Pupil Application Form and pay the non‑refundable application fee. Parents should keep a copy of the submitted form and proof of payment; the school acknowledges receipt and opens the file when the fee is received. Note that the admissions page lists this as the formal start of the process.
2. Placement assessment invitation: After the application and fee are received, the school will invite your child to a placement assessment—typically within five working days. The invitation includes the assessment date, time and any materials or preparation required; make sure you check your email and the contact number you provided so you do not miss the scheduled slot. If you need to reschedule, contact Admissions promptly (contact details are on the school site).
3. Assessment and academic review: The Academic Team conducts the placement assessment and reviews results; the school states that assessments are reviewed promptly (noted as within one working day). Final placement and admission decisions are made by the Headmistress, who may confirm a place, suggest an alternative year group, or decline based on academic fit and available space—so be prepared that the offered year level can differ from the year requested. If your child has recent school reports or standardised-test records, bring them to the assessment to help the reviewers.
4. Offer and seat reservation: If an offer is made, the school issues an official offer of admission and requires a Seat Reservation Deposit to secure the place; the site specifies a US$750 deposit which is credited against the first tuition invoice. Parents should plan to pay this deposit promptly if they wish to hold the offered place, and keep the payment receipt—the admissions page and fee schedule note the deposit is non‑refundable except as described in the fee terms. Read the full Tuition & Fee Schedule (available via the school office) for the exact timing of invoicing and the school's refund rules.
5. Enrolment confirmation and administrative steps: Once the deposit is received, the school enters your child's details into its system, adds them to the class list and shares confirmation with teaching and leadership staff. At this stage you will be asked to provide documentation (IDs/passports, passport photos and any prior assessment records) and to complete consent/medical forms; prepare certified copies where requested to avoid delays. Also expect to receive information about uniforms, lunch/transport options, and term start dates as part of the enrolment pack.
6. Practical and ongoing requirements: Parents should note additional ongoing requirements before term starts—examples on the school site include an annual re‑enrolment deposit, invoicing schedules, and device requirements for older pupils (Years 6–13 are required to bring a personal MacBook meeting the stated specifications). Confirm payment deadlines and warranty/insurance responsibilities for required devices, and ask Admissions or Finance for the current Tuition & Fee Schedule (fees are reviewed annually and published in April). Keeping these items ready will make the first weeks smoother.

Scholarships
Scholarships
The Bromsgrove Cambodia website does not publish a scholarship programme or list scholarship criteria on its public admissions or fees pages. Because some sister Bromsgrove campuses (for example Bromsgrove Thailand) do advertise Sixth Form scholarship schemes, families sometimes ask whether similar schemes operate in Cambodia; however, no BISC scholarship details appear on the school's pages and there is no published guidance on eligibility or application for fee support. If you are interested in scholarships, bursaries, or other fee‑assistance options, request confirmation directly from the Admissions Office (admissions@bisc.edu.kh or the phone numbers on the contact page) so they can give current, campus‑specific information. As a reference for regional practice (not a BISC policy), Bromsgrove Thailand does advertise Sixth Form scholarships in 2025/26; this does not imply the same programme exists at BISC—please check with BISC Admissions for a definitive answer.

Waitlist
Waitlist
Bromsgrove International School Cambodia's public admissions pages do not describe a formal waitlist or central admissions pool; the published process describes application, assessment, offer and seat reservation by deposit rather than placing applicants on a named waiting list. If a place is not available at the time of application, the school's stated procedure indicates decisions (including recommending an alternative year group) are made by the Headmistress; the site does not outline a waitlist policy or prioritisation rules. For families who want to confirm whether the school keeps a waiting list in practice, or to ask to be placed on one, contact the Admissions Office directly using the contact details on the school site.
