Brighton International School

1. Complete the registration form and gather required documents. Brighton provides registration forms in Khmer and English that parents should fill out and submit to the school office; links to both forms are on the Admissions page. You must bring your child's birth certificate or passport, two passport-size photos, parent(s)/guardian(s) ID or passport, and (if available) Health Records/Health Card and Family Book. Note that Health Cards and Family Books are typically held by Cambodian nationals, and the school asks you to declare your child's medical history on the registration form.

2. Attend the interview and, where applicable, the English language test. For children older than four, the school arranges an in-person interview with a faculty member to assess readiness and fit. The school also administers an English language test so it can confirm that your child will be able to access and benefit from Brighton's curriculum and activities. Parents should be prepared to schedule the interview and bring any supporting documents or recent school reports if available.

3. Application review and decision. After submission and assessment, a member of the Admissions team reviews the full application package and communicates whether the child is accepted or deemed non-qualifying. The site states the school will inform families “in a timely manner,” so expect the school to contact you by the email/phone details you provided; if you need a specific timeline ask Admissions directly. If the application is not successful, ask the admissions officer whether any further steps (appeal, re-application window, or alternative year-group entry) are possible.

4. Parent handbook, fee payment and start arrangements. Successful applicants receive (or can download) the parent handbook, which outlines school policies, terms and conditions; Brighton provides both Khmer and English versions on its site. The school's admissions page states that full payment of fees must be settled prior to commencing school and that payment indicates agreement with the handbook policies—so confirm the exact fee amount, payment methods, and any deadlines with Admissions before paying. If you need receipts, installment options, or confirmation of start dates, request written confirmation from the school when you complete payment.

Brighton's Admissions page explicitly notes that the school accepts applications year-round but that “for some of our year groups there may be a waiting list.” The website does not publish further detail on how the waiting list is managed (for example, whether places are allocated by application date, assessment outcome, or priority rules). Because the school gives only this brief statement online, I recommend contacting Admissions (email/info and phone listed on the site) to ask about: current availability for the specific year group, whether the school holds places on deposit, how waiting-list positions are communicated, and any expected wait times.

There is no mention of scholarships, bursaries, or fee concessions on the school's public Admissions or Fees pages; the Fees page simply states “Please see below for our full fees for this academic year” and invites parents to contact the school with questions. The website also does not list sibling discounts or other published financial-assistance programs. Because the school's site does not publish scholarship information, families who require fee assistance or who want to ask about sibling discounts should contact the admissions office directly (contact details are on the site) to request a written statement of any available concessions or application procedures.
