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.
Note: the URL you provided (cisp.edu.kh) is for the Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS); the summary below is drawn from that site. CIS was founded in 2012 and received Alberta (Canada) accreditation in its founding year. The school opened its Bassac Garden campus in 2012 and a second Koh Pich campus in 2015, with further campus expansions and new facilities added in subsequent years (notably 2018 and 2023). Bilingual program growth and new program authorizations followed—French and Mandarin bilingual offerings expanded in 2019, the IB Diploma Programme was authorized in 2021, and the IB Primary Years Programme authorization was recorded in 2025—alongside environmental and sports initiatives introduced in 2024. CIS is a privately owned school governed by a Board of Directors, with a Senior Leadership Team and Head of School responsible for day-to-day academic and operational management.
The CIS community includes students, parents, staff and alumni and emphasizes parent–school partnership through curriculum nights, meet‑the‑teacher events, parent‑teacher conferences and learning celebrations. Regular community events include cultural celebrations, sports tournaments, fine‑arts showcases, assemblies and family days; the school also partners with local recreational venues (for example, the Roller Dome and Ice Dome) and runs holiday camps. Shared activities such as community camps and participation in events like the Angkor Wat Marathon are described as ways the school brings families and staff together.
CIS does not use the term “PTA” on its site; parent involvement is organized through a School Council to which all parents automatically belong. School Council meetings are parent‑focused, frequently begin with breakfast, and include discussion followed by a workshop; meetings are held in English with interpretation provided in Khmer and Mandarin. A parent‑led School Council Executive facilitates meetings, gathers feedback from families, and coordinates School Council business. The executive brings requests and general feedback to the Head of School and helps set items for regular meetings. In practice the School Council functions as the principal vehicle for parent representation, information sharing and school‑level collaboration.
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.
