The school asks parents to provide medical records where relevant (for example, “in the case of learners with special needs”) and encourages parents to meet with management to discuss enrolment and individual needs.

There is no single foreign country governing the school—its curricula and accreditations are a mix of Cambodian and international (Cambridge/WASC).

Because different pages publish slightly different timings by program, please confirm current daily start/finish times for your child's year group with the school.
The school lists transportation as a separate fee item in admissions information (fees for transportation are charged separately), and third‑party school directories note that a school bus service is available.
