TIA International School of Phnom Penh

TIA states a whole-child approach that supports students' intellectual, emotional, social and physical development on its “About Us” page. The school's Campus Life materials describe a “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind” approach and list sports and cultural activities intended to build teamwork and resilience. Small class sizes are noted in the admissions information, which the school says enables extra support and more personalised attention. The site also lists additional support staff such as teaching assistants, a counsellor and student assistants who contribute to day-to-day pastoral care. These statements are published on the school website.

The admissions page states that decisions about applicants with special educational needs are made by the Director and the pedagogical team and that the school will request a recent Educational Psychologist's report for students with identified needs. The same page notes the school can provide extra support as needed and refers to small class sizes as a factor that allows accommodation. Admissions for students with SEN require an individual interview and consideration of the school's ability to meet the student's needs. The website lists specialist support staff such as a speech pathologist and student assistants but does not list a named specialist SEN unit. The school does not present itself on its website as a specialist SEN institution and does not specify the exact types of SEN it will or will not support.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL.

The school's Campus Life pages link physical activity and extracurricular engagement to mental and social wellbeing under a “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind” theme. The Child Safety and Protection Policy describes staff training, reporting procedures and a focus on creating a secure environment, which the school presents as part of student wellbeing provision. The FAQ and staff pages list a counsellor, a school nurse and a speech pathologist among personnel who support students. Admissions and small class sizes are again cited as enabling more personalised pastoral attention where needed. These elements are described on the school website.

TIA publishes a Child Safety and Protection Policy that states a zero-tolerance position on child abuse and describes clear prevention, reporting and response procedures for concerns about a child's safety. The policy says staff undergo recruitment checks and training; the FAQ confirms staff must provide police-clearance certificates and that the school conducts reference checks. The policy covers activities on- and off-campus and emphasizes awareness, prevention and decisive action when concerns arise. The school also posts a Fire Certificate page describing compliance with national fire-safety law and staff training for rescue and firefighting. These safeguarding documents and requirements are available on the school website.
