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.
All students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 wear a school-issued uniform. The uniform is the same for all students regardless of gender. There are uniforms for Physical Education and Wellness, and different uniforms for competitive sports teams; zip-up jackets, pull-over sweaters, and hats are optional items. Each new CIS student receives a complimentary CIS backpack.
The school is privately owned and governed by a Board of Directors. The Board provides strategic oversight and includes Dr. Lina Lim (Board Chair), Dr. Howard Stribbell (Board Vice-Chair), Enghuy Ang (Board Member and Chief Financial Officer), Ms. Donna Trafford (Board Member), Mr. Chhem Siriwat (Board Member), and H.E. Dr. Chhem Kieth Rethy (Board Advisor). The Senior Leadership Team is led by the Head of School and manages academic programming and daily operations. The school is accredited by the Ministry of Education of the Province of Alberta, Canada.
Note: the URL you supplied (https://www.cisp.edu.kh) is the website for the Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS). The information below is taken only from that school website. CIS opened in 2012 and operates three campuses in central Phnom Penh: the main Koh Pich (Diamond Island) campus for Elementary, Middle and High School, plus Bassac Garden and Olympia City campuses serving the Early Years program. CIS follows the Alberta (Canadian) curriculum and offers the Alberta High School Program alongside the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme; the site also states CIS is authorised to deliver the IB Primary Years Programme. The school publishes bilingual programmes in French and Mandarin (bilingual classes make up roughly 35% of the school day for enrolled students), and Khmer, French and Mandarin are taught as language subjects. CIS's website lists close to 1,000 students (Nursery–Grade 12), an active after‑school programme (Model United Nations, Robotics Club, Eco Club, Khmer Club, sports teams and more), a Soccer Academy for Grades 6–12, and specialist offerings including an Artist in Residence programme. For fees the site links to a 2025–2026 Fee Guide (PDF on Google Drive) but does not display a simple min–max tuition range on the public pages; the fee PDF is linked from the School Fees page. (All items above are taken from the CIS website.)
