Cambodia Adventist International School

CAIS is located at

419, Street Rada, Phum Tum Nub, Sangkat Phnom Penh Thmey, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh (Sen Sok district). The school website notes Rada Street as the campus entrance and recent on‑site construction may affect traffic on that street for short periods; contact the school for current local access details.

The school presents itself as an international K–12 provider (Kindergarten through Grade 12) in its published fees and materials.

CAIS is an international day school operating in Phnom Penh; the website and public materials show it as a non‑boarding institution (no boarding facilities are listed).

The publicly available pages on the school site do not describe a detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN) or Additional Learning Needs programme; the site links to a Student Handbook and Curriculum documents where policy details are usually published. Parents should contact Admissions for specifics and for any individual support arrangements.

The school is based in Cambodia and is run under the local Adventist mission; it is presented as a Cambodian institution rather than being formally affiliated to another national school system.

CAIS is affiliated with the Seventh‑day Adventist Church (the site and copyright identify it as a Seventh‑day Adventist Cambodian Mission institution and the site includes chapel/church service information).

Published third‑party school listings indicate a typical school day runs roughly 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with short supervised periods before and after school; the CAIS website links to an academic calendar and handbook where the school's official daily schedule is set out. Prospective parents should check the current handbook/calendar or ask Admissions for exact daily timings for the grade of interest.

Public information and a recent school listing state that CAIS does not operate a school bus service; most families arrange their own transport and the school offers limited supervised time before/after school. If a bus service is a deciding factor, confirm availability directly with the registrar as arrangements can change.

Cambodia Adventist International School (CAIS) runs a K–12 programme (ages about 3–18) based on the Seventh‑day Adventist / North American curriculum with English as the main medium of instruction. Early Years (Kindergarten) emphasises foundational literacy, numeracy and play‑based learning, while Primary (Grades 1–6) delivers core subjects — English, mathematics, science and social studies — alongside Khmer language and culture and annual technology lessons. Middle school (Grades 7–9) increases subject specialisation and uses standardised checkpoints (MAP) to monitor progress. Senior secondary (Grades 10–12) is a college‑preparatory programme through Grade 12 that culminates in a school high‑school diploma and is designed to prepare students for tertiary study abroad. Christian moral/religious education, extracurricular activities (arts, sport, clubs) and whole‑school events (e.g., speech and spelling competitions) are integrated across all stages.

CAIS publishes a Code of Honor on its website that instructs pupils to “respect God, respect myself, and respect others” and explicitly forbids lying, cheating, stealing, bullying and fighting; this is presented as a behavioural expectation across school pages. The site also highlights regular chapel/church services and co-curricular activities (speech and spelling events) that the school describes as opportunities for character development and confidence-building. The school's public pages do not describe a named SEL curriculum, specialist SEL staff, or a dedicated pastoral team.

The school's public website and linked pages do not describe a specialist SEN provision, named learning-support staff, or which kinds of special educational needs it can support. CAIS provides a Student Handbook link on its site, but the publicly visible pages do not set out an accessible SEN policy or detailed learning‑support information. Therefore, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding SEN.

CAIS's publicly available pages do not describe a specific EAL (English as an Additional Language) programme, EAL teachers, or formal language-support pathways. Because the website does not set out an explicit EAL provision, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.

The school's website emphasises spiritual and character formation—through its mission/philosophy and regular chapel services—which the school presents as part of students' overall wellbeing. The site does not publish details of counselling services, a school psychologist, or formal mental‑health programmes in publicly accessible pages. As such, specific mental‑health or counselling provisions are not publicly described on the website.

CAIS lists a Student Handbook on its website (linked via Google Drive), but the publicly accessible site pages do not publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy text. Attempting to open the handbook/calendar link requires Google Drive access and does not expose an openly viewable safeguarding policy on the public site; therefore specific safeguarding procedures are not available in the publicly accessible pages.

1. Review the school's admissions page and published fees before you apply. CAIS's website includes separate online forms for new and returning students and a downloadable fees document — open those pages first so you understand deadlines, one‑time charges and the annual fee bands.

2. Complete the online application (New Student) linked on the school site. The school's New Student form is the formal first step; parents should complete every field on that form and check the form's guidance for which supporting documents are required. If the form does not make requirements clear, contact the Registrar listed on the website before you submit to avoid delays.

3. Prepare and submit supporting documents to the Registrar as requested. The website links (New Student / Returning Student) and the Registrar contact are the route the school uses for applications; expect the Registrar to confirm exactly which papers to upload or bring (for example identity/birth record, previous school record, and any immigration/visa documents where applicable). If you need clarification on acceptable document formats, use the Registrar phone or email on the site rather than assuming requirements.

4. Check fees, make any required registration/deposit payments, and confirm the payment plan with the Finance Office. CAIS publishes a fees structure (registration and annual tuition vary by grade) and the Finance Office handles invoicing and payment queries — ask for a written invoice that lists any refundable deposits, sibling discounts and payment deadlines before you pay. If you want the published fee figures for planning, see the school's fees file and summary listings (fee levels differ by grade).

5. Await the school's enrollment decision and follow their next-step instructions (placement, orientation, calendar). Once the school receives a complete application and any required payment, the Registrar will confirm placement and tell you about orientation dates, uniforms, start-of-term dates and the student handbook; the CAIS school calendar and open‑house dates are published on the site and should be checked so you don't miss any deadlines. If you need earlier confirmation for visas or housing, contact the Registrar and Finance Office directly — their phone numbers and email are listed on the site.

6. Complete final enrolment requirements before the student's first day. That typically means attending the scheduled orientation/open house, returning any signed school forms listed in the student handbook, and confirming payment/tuition arrangements with the Finance Office; if you have outstanding documentation or need a payment receipt for visa purposes, request these from the Registrar/Finance contacts. Keep copies of all receipts and the handbook pages that relate to attendance, health, and conduct for reference.

The CAIS website does not list a general scholarship or financial‑aid program on its public pages. There is, however, a regional scholarship reference: Asia‑Pacific International University's President's Scholarship names Cambodia Adventist International School as one of the feeder schools eligible for that particular award (the AP University scholarship is awarded to top Seventh‑day Adventist academic achievers and uses end‑of‑year results and GPA criteria). If you are seeking tuition assistance for a CAIS student, contact CAIS Finance or the Registrar to ask whether the school offers any internal discounts, need‑based help, or church‑sponsored support; also ask whether international or denominational scholarships (like the APU arrangement) may be available to graduating senior candidates. For the APU President's Scholarship criteria and the list that includes CAIS, see the APU scholarship page.

CAIS does not publish a public waitlist or “admissions pool” policy on its website. A search of the school site and its admissions links does not show a published waiting‑list procedure or public queue; the site directs families to use the New Student and Returning Student application forms and to contact the Registrar for admissions questions. If you expect limited capacity (for example at popular entry years such as K or Grade 1), contact the Registrar by phone or email listed on the school site to ask whether a waitlist is being operated for the specific grade and how that list is managed. For an authoritative answer about current capacity, placement order, and whether a deposit secures a place, ask Registrar (phone and finance contacts appear on the school pages).
