Northbridge International School Cambodia is an all-through International Baccalaureate (IB) World School serving students aged 2–18 on an 8-hectare campus in Sen Sok, Phnom Penh. The school first opened in 1997 in a then-rural area of western Phnom Penh; the website describes the campus as now being a leafy oasis within a rapidly expanding part of the city and notes facilities including an Aquatics Centre, covered basketball and tennis courts, a dedicated Early Learning area and performing-arts spaces. Students follow the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP and DP) and the school connects to Nord Anglia's Global Campus for international projects and exchanges. Instruction is in English with additional language teaching (Khmer, Mandarin, Korean, French and Japanese at DP). The IB Diploma includes a CAS programme that works with local NGOs. Admissions information on the school website notes EAL support for non-native English speakers and a year-round, non-selective admissions process.
