Eco International School

Eco International School has several Phnom Penh campuses: Campus 1 on Samdach Pan Avenue (214) in Daun Penh, two Chaktomuk addresses on Street 242 (Khan Daun Penh), Campus 3 on National Road 1 in Chbar Ampov (Boeung Snor), and a Veng Sreng campus (KMH Blvd., ISI Park) opening August 2026. These sites are in inner-city and suburban districts with road access to central Phnom Penh; specific campus addresses and phone/email contacts are listed on the school website and FAQs.

The school currently runs Early Years (from age 2), Kindergarten and Primary (Grade 1–6); a Secondary programme (Grades 7–12) is listed as “coming soon.” Program ages and the listed stages are on the school site.

Eco International School operates as a day school serving preschool through primary-age students; the website and public listings describe day programmes and do not mention boarding facilities. The school admits both boys and girls (co-educational).

The school's public pages and FAQ describe admissions, trials for under‑5s and general pastoral care but do not provide a dedicated description of Additional Learning Needs / SEN provision. Prospective parents should contact admissions directly for details about individual learning‑support services or specialist staff.

The school is based in Cambodia and delivers the Cambodian National Curriculum alongside international (United Kingdom) curricula elements; it is not presented as being affiliated to another country's national school system.

No religious affiliation is stated on the school website or public listings; the school presents itself as a secular international day school.

Early Years and Kindergarten hours are listed as half‑day 08:00–11:00 or full‑day 08:00–16:00 with free late pickup until 17:30; Primary is listed as a full day 08:00–16:30 with free late pickup until 17:30. Office hours for campus visits are Monday–Friday 07:30–17:30 and Saturday 08:00–12:00.

A school bus service is available but appears limited to specific campuses (listed as available for Campus 3 / Boeung Snor in the school's announcements and third‑party directory pages). The school has in the past promoted discounts for the bus on particular campuses and advises parents to contact admissions for routes, fees and registration.

Eco International School uses a dual model that combines the Cambodian national curriculum with international (UK-based) programmes and implements the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) for its youngest learners. Early Years and Kindergarten serve children roughly 2–5 years (kindergarten around 5–6) and follow IEYC alongside Cambodian curriculum content. Primary covers Grade 1–Grade 6 (age 6+) and operates a hybrid British and Cambodian curriculum with focus on core subjects plus a STEAM approach. The school integrates environmental education, character development and experiential learning across stages and offers extracurriculars such as music (digital piano from Grade 2), school gardening and recycling projects. A full secondary programme (Grades 7–12) is described as forthcoming, so specific upper‑secondary qualifications are not currently listed on the school's public materials.

Eco International School's website states the school places emphasis on “character building, environmental education, and STEAM programs” which it says guide students' curiosity, self‑understanding, communication and critical thinking. The site also highlights small class sizes and regular parent updates as part of its approach to student care. The school does not, however, publish a named SEL curriculum, details of specific SEL programmes, or a dedicated SEL/pastoral team on its publicly available pages.

Eco International School's public website describes its early years and primary programmes and general focus on care and safety, but it does not publish a clear Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy or a list of the types of SEN it can support. There is no indication on the school's public pages that it is a specialist SEN institution. If you need to know whether the school can support a specific diagnosed need, contact the school directly for assessment and written confirmation.

The school says it uses international curricula modelled on United Kingdom frameworks and the IEYC for early years, which implies a strong English‑language curriculum influence. However, Eco International School's website does not publish explicit information about EAL programmes, specialist EAL staff, entry assessments for English language learners, or dedicated EAL support. If EAL provision is required, the school recommends contacting them directly to confirm available support.

On its public pages the school states it aims to provide “a safe and supportive atmosphere” and highlights character‑building activities and small class sizes as part of student care. The website does not, however, publish details of specific mental‑health or counselling services, named wellbeing staff, or formal wellbeing programmes and policies. For clarity about counselling or clinical mental‑health support, parents should request the school's current pastoral/wellbeing provisions in writing.

Eco International School's website highlights safety and a “safe and supportive atmosphere” among its core messages and lists safety and hygiene in its ‘Why Us' points. The site does not publish a full child‑protection or safeguarding policy, nor the names/contacts of a designated safeguarding lead, on its publicly accessible pages. If you require the school's safeguarding policy or details of safeguarding contacts, request these directly from the school (they are commonly provided to parents on admission).

1. Initial enquiry and information-gathering. Contact the school to confirm which campus you are interested in and to check class availability; the school publishes office hours and recommends a campus visit during Monday–Friday 7:30–17:30 or Saturday morning. Ask for the most up-to-date fee schedule, transport options and any current promotions before you proceed, since discounts (for example sibling or campus-specific offers) are sometimes available.

2. Schedule and attend a campus tour. The school recommends an in-person tour (typically around 30–40 minutes) so you can see classrooms, ask about the curriculum (IEYC / British and Cambodian options) and check facilities for your child's age group; bring your child if you think a short visit would help with transition. During the visit confirm start times for the Early Years/Kindergarten versus Primary day schedules and whether the campus you choose runs the British or Cambodian curriculum for the relevant year level.

3. Complete the enrollment form and prepare required documents. Parents are asked to fill in the school's enrolment/registration form and submit standard documents such as the child's birth certificate, vaccination/health record, passport-size photos, and a parent/guardian ID or passport; different campuses may request the same list. Verify whether the school requires original documents for sighting or certified copies and whether the form can be completed online or must be handed in at reception.

4. Trial class or assessment (when applicable). For children under five the school offers a five-day trial period to check readiness and help the child settle; parents should ask in advance for the trial terms and how attendance during the trial is recorded. For older children the school may use a brief informal assessment or meeting with a teacher to confirm the right placement—ask what format the assessment takes and whether results affect start date or class allocation.

5. Offer of place and fee/payment arrangements. When a place is available the school will confirm offer details and the fees due — ask explicitly if there are any one-time registration fees, deposits, or ‘administrative' charges (several recent notices indicate the school advertises “no administrative fees,” but always confirm current policy). Ask about payment schedules, sibling discounts, and any campus-specific tuition promotions so you know the net cost before completing enrolment.

6. Final registration, transport and first-day logistics. After you accept the place complete any final paperwork and payments, sign the school's terms and confirm bus routes (if needed), uniforms and book lists; the school provides information on bus discounts at certain campuses. Check the online school calendar or ask admissions for term start dates, school hours for your child's year group, and the school's policy on late pickup so you can plan childcare and transport on the first day.

The school does not advertise formal scholarships or need‑based financial aid on its public pages. However, recent school notices and local school listings show published tuition discounts and promotional concessions: sibling discounts (reported as 5% for the second child and 10% for the third), a 10% promotional discount on Primary tuition at a specific campus (Campus 3 / Boeung Snor) for the 2025–2026 intake, and a bus-service discount (reported as 30% at Campus 3). The school also indicates ‘no administrative fees' in some communications, which affects the up-front cost of enrolment. If you need fee relief beyond these published discounts, contact the admissions office directly (use the admissions email/phone on the school site) to ask whether any additional financial assistance, payment plans, or case-by-case waivers are available and what documentation would be required.

The school website states that admissions are open throughout the year and that enrolment is based on class availability; there is no clearly publicised, formal ‘waitlist' process described on the site. Because the school accepts students ‘based on class availability' the practical outcome is that if a class is full you should contact admissions and ask to be placed on any informal waiting list or to be notified when a space opens. If you need priority information (for example because you require a guaranteed start date), request written confirmation from admissions about whether they can hold a place, the expected timeline, or any priority categories (siblings, staff children, etc.).
