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.
As of December 30, 2025, the Brighton International School website identifies the following official registrations/standards (with one-line explanations):
- Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS) — The curriculum page states Brighton is a government-registered institution that follows the Cambodian national curriculum; MoEYS registration indicates the school is authorised to operate under Cambodian education regulations and deliver the national curriculum where required.
- UK National Curriculum (adoption) — The site states the school "facilitates learning through the use of the UK curriculum"; this indicates the school follows the UK curriculum framework (key stages and expected standards) but is an adopted curriculum standard rather than an external institutional accreditation.
- Not-for-profit / social enterprise status (operational) — The school's Founder page describes a transformation into a not-for-profit social enterprise; this is an operational/legal status noted on the site rather than an academic accreditation.
Note: the school website does not list any additional external accreditation bodies (for example CIS, WASC, NEASC, COBIS or similar) or a separate "accreditation" page as of the date above. The statement that no other accreditations are listed is based on the school's public pages (About, Curriculum, Life & Learning).
As of December 30, 2025, there are no awards listed on the Brighton International School website for the past five years that are explicitly awarded to the school (the site does not show a page or entry naming school-level awards 2021–2025). The review was limited to the school's public website pages (About, Life & Learning, Curriculum, News/Updates links where present). If you would like, I can search external sources or contact the school for any awards that are not published on their website.
Brighton International School (BIS) opened in 2015 and is based in the Boeung Tumpun area of Phnom Penh. The school teaches the UK (British) curriculum alongside the Cambodian (MoEYS) national curriculum for Khmer classes; BIS runs an Early Years programme (noting Khmer Language classes for ages 2–5) and a Khmer curriculum for grades 1–6 (pupils aged about 6–12). The website highlights a sustained focus on English language and literacy (including an intensive phonics programme) and a developed mathematics programme. BIS moved to its Boeung Tumpun location in June 2020 and notes it is about 15 minutes south of the Russian Market. The site invites prospective families to book a tour or contact admissions for more detail on fees, class sizes, transport, and extracurricular activities.
