GloLink International School Phnom Penh

1. Initial inquiry and eligibility check — Contact the school's admissions office to confirm current availability for the grade you need, the school calendar (term start dates) and the most recent fee schedule. Ask specifically which curriculum stream (American / Cambodian) you want for your child, and whether the school has any age/grade cut‑offs or minimum attendance requirements. Because the school's official website was unavailable at the time of checking, call or message the school's listed phone/WhatsApp or use its directory listings to reach admissions directly.

2. Complete and submit the application + required documents — You will normally need to complete the school's application form and provide standard documents such as the child's birth certificate or passport, recent school reports or transcripts (if any), up‑to‑date immunisation records, proof of residency/parent ID, and passport photos; international families should also be ready to show visa or work‑permit documents if requested. Parents should check whether the school requires originals or certified copies and whether any documents must be translated into English. Because GloLink's public listings describe an application process that includes interviews/assessments, confirm the exact document checklist with admissions before you prepare couriered originals.

3. Admissions assessment and interview — GloLink is reported to use an application process that includes interviews and academic/placement assessments (typically age‑appropriate literacy and numeracy checks and an interview with the child and/or parents). Expect the school to assess English ability and overall readiness for the requested grade; for younger children this may be informal classroom observation or play‑based checks. Ask ahead whether assessments are carried out on campus, remotely, or via a prior school report, and whether there is any preparatory guidance or sample materials.

4. Offer, contract and payment of enrolment fees — If a place is offered you should receive a written offer and a school contract that sets out fees, one‑time charges and payment deadlines. Public fee schedules published by school directories show a typical first‑year breakdown (example: registration fee, capital fee, tuition and materials — the database lists a Nursery 2 first‑year total of 14,035,000 KHR and annual totals by grade), so review the contract carefully for which charges are one‑time versus recurring and whether any discounts or sibling concessions apply. Ask about accepted payment methods, payment plans, refund/cancellation terms and any required deposits (these details are not consistently published and should be confirmed with admissions).

5. Confirmation, pre‑start requirements and orientation — Once the contract and initial payment are completed, confirm the child's start date, uniform requirements, health records (vaccinations), school hours and available transport/bus routes. If your child will need classroom support, language support (ESL) or special‑needs accommodations, raise these before the start date so the school can plan staffing and placement. GloLink's public listings show active enrolment and seasonal promotions at times, so confirm whether any promotional offers are being applied to your contract.

No formal waitlist system is clearly described in the school's public listings. Major directory profiles and local write‑ups for GloLink (school directories checked) do not publish a formal “waitlist” policy or a centralized admissions pool; instead, parents are advised to contact admissions directly to check current availability and next‑steps. Because many smaller international schools handle demand case‑by‑case (holding names on a priority contact list or offering places as they become available), if you cannot secure a place immediately ask admissions whether they keep a waiting list, how long the list typically is, how offers are prioritised (e.g., siblings, returning students, date of application), and whether there are any interim enrolment options (short‑term or part‑time places). For the most reliable answer, contact the school's admissions office directly.
