Cambridge International School of Cambodia

CIS states it delivers social-emotional learning through schoolwide initiatives and dedicated social-emotional counsellors who provide individual and group work to develop skills such as emotional regulation and conflict resolution. Teachers incorporate universal, evidence-based instructional practices and homeroom teachers act as daily mentors to support students' social and self-management skills. Targeted supports are offered for groups of students who need extra intervention to build social and emotional skills. The school also refers families to external mental health resources when appropriate. This provision and the role of counsellors and homeroom mentors are described on the school's Inclusive Education and Middle School pages.

CIS describes a continuum of inclusive supports including learning support teachers, speech-language services delivered by an on-staff speech-language pathologist, and social-emotional counselling to assist students with diverse learning needs. The school states these services are targeted supports and universal classroom strategies rather than highly specialised, individualised therapies. CIS explicitly notes it does not provide specialised on-site services such as physical therapy, medical care, formal psychological assessments, or assistive-technology provision. The website therefore indicates CIS is an inclusive school offering targeted learning and communication support but not a specialist SEN institution. These details are published on the school's Inclusive Education and Admissions pages.

CIS operates a specialist English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme and describes a skilled team of EAL teachers who work in small groups or provide targeted one-to-one support to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing. The admissions guidance states EAL support is provided for students in Grades 1–9, that exit from the programme occurs when grade-level proficiency is achieved, and that participation may incur additional fees. The school's Inclusive Education and Admissions pages provide these programme details and exit/fee information.

CIS identifies mental wellbeing provision through its social-emotional counselling services present in Elementary, Middle and High School, with counsellors offering individual and group support and crisis response. The Middle School page adds the school has a dedicated social-emotional and academic counsellor and describes daily homeroom mentoring and explicit teaching of self-management and social skills. The school also notes collaboration between counsellors, teachers and families and referral to external services when needed. These elements are described on the Inclusive Education and Middle School pages.

CIS sets out a formal Child Protection and Safeguarding framework: all staff are required to complete safeguarding training (teaching staff Level 1; other staff Awareness level) via childsafeguarding.org, and a Child Protection Team with designated leads operates across the school. The school requires staff to report suspected abuse via an internal referral system; it uses a risk-assessment matrix adapted from the UN Rights of the Child and displays team contact information and a QR referral link around campus. CIS states safeguarding is the responsibility of all staff and emphasises prompt, professional response to concerns. These policies and procedures are published on the school's Child Protection and Safeguarding page.
