Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payments must be made by the due dates stated by the school; all outstanding balances must be settled before report cards or academic records are issued.

- Full tuition payment is required for the quarter in which enrollment occurs; partial quarterly payments are not allowed. Late payments two weeks past due incur a 5% penalty, with an additional 1% per week on any outstanding amount thereafter.

Other costs and fees

- Sibling discounts: second child 5%, third child 10%, fourth child or more 15%.

- The AGPS Elite description notes that in some packages tuition includes one set of textbooks and two sets of uniforms; other campuses/packages may list uniforms, books, exam or activity charges separately.

(Amounts above are taken from the school's published fees table and the school's tuition & fees pages; per-term figures have been calculated from the published annual totals because the school's policy references quarterly payments.)

Khmer‑program students follow MoEYS requirements and sit national examinations at Grade 6, Grade 9 and Grade 12; the school website describes the international program as Common Core–based but does not list a specific external international credential such as IB or AP.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
AGPS describes structured opportunities for student leadership and teamwork through its elected Student Government and leadership programmes, which the site presents as part of students' wider learning experience. The school's stated learning outcomes emphasise teamwork, clear communication, personal accountability and ethical behaviour as school‑wide goals. Classroom guidance in the published class rules also directs teachers to attend to individual students' backgrounds and to build positive student–teacher relationships. The school highlights arts, public speaking and extracurricular activities (clubs and community service) as regular parts of student life that reinforce social and practical skills.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The AGPS does not publish a specific special educational needs (SEN) policy or list of SEN services on its public pages.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
AGPS advertises an intensive English / ESL programme and multiple references on the site note substantial English-language instruction (including an “Intensive English Program” and “Intensive ESL Classes”) and language‑based placement considerations. The school states a strong ESL program, after‑school ESL classes and teacher training for second‑language learners. Placement may depend on language proficiency.

Mental Wellbeing
AGPS's public pages refer to personal and college counselling services and state the school has counsellors who assist students with personal issues and college guidance. The site also links wellbeing to physical education and athletics, describing athletics programmes aimed at fitness, nutrition and overall wellness. Classroom guidance in the school rules and learning objectives emphasises caring teacher–student relationships and character development, which the school presents as part of students' holistic support. However, the school does not publish a detailed mental‑health policy or named mental‑health specialists beyond general counselling references.

Safeguarding
The school's published class rules include attendance and dismissal procedures, instructions that students may not leave school without permission and requirements to report absences or tardiness, which the school presents as part of classroom safety routines. AGPS also describe on‑campus dormitory management and a campus security guard presence for boarding students, indicating operational safety measures for residential provision. The school does not publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy document on its public pages, and no named designated safeguarding lead is listed on the website. For specifics of formal safeguarding procedures or named safeguarding officers, the school should be contacted directly.
