Cambodia, Phnom Penh
Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
On the school's website, Invictus Phnom Penh lists the following formal curricula/programmes (the site does not present a separate ‘accreditations' page or other accrediting organisations):
- UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). One-line explanation: the EYFS is the UK framework for early childhood education (typically ages 3–5) that sets learning and development goals for nursery/reception and is used by schools to structure early years provision.
- Cambridge Primary Curriculum (Grades 1–6). One-line explanation: the Cambridge Primary Curriculum is an internationally used, standards-based programme from Cambridge Assessment that defines learning goals across core subjects at primary level and helps prepare students for the Cambridge secondary pathway.
- Cambridge Lower Secondary (Years 7–9) and Cambridge IGCSE (Grades 10–11). One-line explanation: Cambridge Lower Secondary prepares students for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE); the IGCSE is an internationally recognised secondary qualification administered by Cambridge Assessment for students typically aged 14–16.
- Cambridge International A-Levels (Grades 12–13). One-line explanation: Cambridge International A-Levels are advanced subject-based qualifications (typically taken over two years) recognised by universities worldwide and administered through Cambridge Assessment / UK examination boards.
Note: the items above are taken from the school's curriculum pages and other pages of the Invictus Phnom Penh website. The site describes the school's use of these Cambridge programmes and EYFS but does not list other external accreditations (for example regional/international school accreditors such as CIS, WASC, etc.) on the publicly available pages I checked.
Based only on information publicly provided on the school website, there are no clearly dated, school-level awards listed for the past five years. The site does include a statement on the Principal's Welcome page that the school “has been recognised as one of the Top 10 international schools in Cambodia,” but that statement does not name the awarding organisation or give a date, so it cannot be verified from the school website alone as a dated award within the past five years.
If you'd like, I can (a) search external sources to try to verify the “Top 10” recognition and find any other awards or formal accreditations not shown on the school site, or (b) contact the school (using the contact details on their site) and ask for a current list of accreditations and awards. Which would you prefer?
