Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Brighton International School is located at
The school says it follows the UK curriculum arranged in key stages (early years through secondary) and runs an Early Years programme for children aged about 2–5. The site also notes a Khmer curriculum that spans grades 1–6 (pupils aged about 6–12). For exact grade names and upper-secondary provision, contact the school.
Brighton International School is presented on its website as an independent, not-for-profit international school registered in Cambodia (founded 2015). The website does not explicitly state a single-gender or boarding status; there is no mention of boarding facilities.
The school's website describes individualised learning and support within its curriculum (for example tailored teaching and phonics support), but it does not publish a detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN)/Additional Learning Needs policy or specific facilities on the public site. If your child has identified SEN, contact the school to ask for their current SEN provision, assessment processes and any available resources.
The school is located and registered in Cambodia; it uses the UK curriculum alongside the Cambodian (Khmer) curriculum for some year groups but the school itself is not presented as formally affiliated to another country's government.
The school website does not state any religious affiliation. It presents itself as a secular international school.
The school website does not publish a regular daily start/end time for the standard term. The principal's page gives office hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 am–3:00 pm), and a school-run summer programme listing shows days running roughly 8:30 am–3:00 pm; third-party school listings give a common reported schedule of about 7:30–15:30. For the exact term-time day structure (start, finish, breaks and supervised care), ask the school directly.
The school's official website does not describe a regular school bus service or transport routes. Because third-party listings offer mixed information, the most reliable next step is to contact the school's admissions or reception (the site lists email info@brightoninternationalschool.org and phone numbers) to confirm whether they operate a bus service, routes, costs and registration procedures.
