It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
East–West International School is on Street 143 in Boeung Keng Kang 3 (BKK3), Phnom Penh; the website gives the address as
The school runs from Early Years (Nursery/Pre‑K) through Primary and Secondary up to Grade 12, with the campus organised into Early Years, Primary and Secondary departments. Students follow IEYC/IPC/IMYC in younger years and Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A Level programs in Secondary; the site confirms classes from Nursery to Grade 12.
EWIS operates as a bilingual Khmer–English day school; teachers deliver both Khmer and English instruction and families can choose the bilingual pathway or an English‑only program. The school is described as a co‑educational day school on third‑party school directories; no boarding provision is published on the school website.
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. The website/handbook does not publish a detailed public learning‑support (SEN) policy, so parents should contact admissions to discuss specific support, assessment or external therapy arrangements.
The school is based in Cambodia and is registered with the Cambodian Ministry of Education; it also follows international curricula and holds external accreditation (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and offers Cambridge examinations. There is no single foreign country governing the school—its curricula and accreditations are a mix of Cambodian and international (Cambridge/WASC).
No religious affiliation is stated on the school website or handbook; the school presents itself as a secular, non‑religious institution.
Published hours vary by level. The Early Years page lists a typical Early Years day as 7:30am–2:45pm with a detailed session breakdown; the parent handbook gives more granular school‑hour times (e.g. Nursery/Preschool: 7:30–11:00; Kindergarten–Grade 5: 7:30–2:30; some Secondary groups have earlier start or later finish times). 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. The school website does not name a single transport provider or publish routes; if you need bus pickup/drop‑off, contact the admissions office for current routes, costs and the provider's safety/operating details.
