Golden Gate American School

Head office and main campuses are in Phnom Penh (Sen Sok / Street 1003) with additional campuses in Tuol Kork and Phnom Penh Thmei; the site lists three campus locations and a head‑office address (No. 846, St 1003). The campuses are in built‑up Phnom Penh neighbourhoods and the site notes locations close to main roads, parks and sports facilities — useful if you plan daily driving or rides with city transport.

GGAS describes provision from early years through Grade 12: Early Years / Nursery (from age 2), Primary (PYP) for ages about 3–12, Middle Years (MYP) for about 11–16, and Diploma Programme (DP) for 16–19; the site also lists USA curriculum tracks for primary and high school.

The school is an independent, nonsectarian private international school offering American curriculum options and IB programmes (MYP and DP authorised). The website and external school directories list GGAS as co‑educational; some sources and the school's development plans also reference sleeping/dormitory facilities at a new campus (check with admissions if you need formal boarding).

The site discusses support in its PYP/MYP pages (small class sizes, language support within bilingual delivery and a focus on individual learners) but does not publish a detailed Special Educational Needs (SEN) policy or specific specialist‑staff list. If your child has diagnosed additional needs, contact Admissions to request the school's SEN/inclusion policy and any assessment or support plans.

GGAS identifies itself as an American school offering a USA‑certified high‑school diploma in partnership with a US provider (Busche Academy) while also being accredited by Cambodia's Ministry of Education; it therefore operates as an independent private school with American curriculum links rather than as an official agent of a foreign government.

The school is described on its site as nonsectarian (no religious affiliation).

The website and published calendar do not set out a daily start/end time or a standard break/lunch schedule for all year groups; the Admissions page does show office contact hours for enquiries (phones answered Mon–Fri 7:00–17:00 and Saturday 7:00–16:00). For exact daily timings by campus or year group, ask Admissions during your enquiry or campus visit.

The Admissions information on the website states there is bus transportation and that registration and charges for the service are published for the 2024–25 year, but the site does not list specific routes, providers or pick‑up/drop‑off times. Practical next steps are to request the current bus routes, stops, fees and safety/insurance details directly from Admissions before relocating.

Application / Registration Fee
- The school's admissions pages reference a published fee schedule for new applicants; a specific one‑time application or registration fee amount is not listed on the public admissions page. Parents should expect a standard non‑refundable application/registration charge to be included in the school's full fee schedule.

Per‑term figures (inferred)
- Where the school operates a three‑term/trimester billing cycle, the per‑term tuition can be estimated by dividing the annual tuition by three; these per‑term figures are inferred from the published annual amounts and should be treated as approximate. (Example: Nursery 2 ≈ KHR 4,400,000 per term = KHR 13,200,000 ÷ 3).

Billing schedule & payment terms
- The admissions information states that tuition and fees must be arranged by the start of the new school year and that a detailed tuition & fee schedule is published as part of admissions documentation. Expect standard options such as annual, termly or instalment billing as set out in the school's fee schedule.

Boarding fees
- The school lists boarding as available; specific boarding fee amounts are not published on the public fee pages and are provided on request by the admissions/finance office.

Other costs (uniforms, lunches, transport, IB/assessment fees, extracurriculars)
- The admissions page references separate documents for Nursery/Kindergarten, IB fee schedule and other fees (uniform, lunches, bus, exam/IB charges). Individual charges for uniform, lunch plans, bus and IB examination/admin fees are set out in those fee documents.

Refunds and deposits
- A specific, published refund policy and deposit schedule was not shown on the public admissions summary; the school's full fee documents (referenced on the admissions page) contain the detailed refund/withdrawal and deposit terms.

Payment methods
- The site provides a school payment page/form and instructs parents to contact Finance/Admissions for payment arrangements; parents should expect bank transfer and in‑school card or online payment arrangements to be available via the finance office.
