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.
The school describes a “safe and accepting” and community‑based approach that emphasises student maturity, problem‑solving, values (compassion, self‑discipline) and leadership development, delivered across its curriculum from Early Years to Secondary. The Academics page also notes use of the IEYC in Early Years and regular teacher–parent conferences to support student development and personal growth. These statements indicate SEL is embedded through school culture, curriculum choices and home–school communication rather than a separately published SEL programme. The site does not list a named, standalone SEL curriculum or a designated SEL coordinator. For these descriptions, see the school's Academics and About pages.
The school's official website does not publicly describe a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) department, a list of supported needs, or a specialist SEN unit. The site highlights general student support measures (face‑to‑face teaching, parent conferences and facilities) but does not specify which types of SEN it can support or name SEN staff. A third‑party report (Education Cambodia) has described NGIS activity linked to an Early Years/Special Needs preschool in coverage of school events, but that report is external to the school's own published materials. Therefore, on the basis of the school's official site there is no published evidence that NGIS is a specialist SEN institution.
NGIS's published curriculum information states it delivers Cambridge English language proficiency programmes, Cambridge/UK curriculum pathways and offers IELTS training and testing, and the site includes a page explaining the CEFR — indicating formal English language assessment and tuition are part of its provision. Early Years uses the IEYC and the school runs tri‑lingual programmes (Khmer, English, Chinese), which together suggest English language learning is integrated across year groups. The website does not, however, publish a separate “EAL” policy or a named EAL team/coordinator on the pages reviewed. For details see the Academics and FAQs pages.
The school's published materials state that NGIS aims to provide a supportive, safe and accepting environment and lists regular teacher‑parent conferences and on‑site nursing services as part of student care. The Academics page emphasises personal development, values and community‑based learning, and the About page lists a nursing service and extracurricular activities (sports, arts) that contribute to student wellbeing. The website does not publish a distinct mental health/counselling policy or identify named counsellors or a pastoral team on the pages reviewed. If you need confirmation of counselling or mental‑health staff and programmes, the school's contact details are provided for direct enquiry.
The school's Academics page states NGIS aims to provide a “safe and accepting academic environment,” but the school website does not publish a standalone child‑protection or safeguarding policy or name a designated safeguarding lead on the pages reviewed (as of December 30, 2025). There is therefore a statement of general safety and community approach but no publicly posted, detailed safeguarding policy located on the school site pages examined. For specifics or an official safeguarding policy, prospective parents should request the school's child‑protection documentation directly.
New Gateway International School (NGIS) was founded in 2011 and is presented on the school site as a tri-lingual institution teaching Khmer, English and Chinese. NGIS delivers the Cambodian (Khmer) curriculum alongside UK Cambridge programmes in Primary and Secondary and an IEYC programme for Early Years; graduates receive Cambodian high-school certification and Cambridge qualifications. The school lists multiple Phnom Penh campuses: a head office/campus near the National Olympic Stadium (Veal Vong) and at least one campus closer to the airport (Sen Sok). Facilities noted on the site include a research laboratory, a computer laboratory, a library, and extracurricular provision such as arts, music and a sport club (swimming, soccer and related activities). The site also describes regular teacher–parent conferences and semester academic reports for parents.
