Zion International School of Phnom Penh (ZISPP) was established by a board led by founder David C. Moon and is governed through its board of directors; the school describes itself as an agency of the not-for-profit Cambodia Jobs Foundation. Over the past decade ZISPP has grown from a single campus into a multi-campus operation and reports roughly ten years of operation on its website. In recent years the school has formalized external partnerships—signing memoranda of understanding with local higher-education institutions—to create academic pathways and joint activities for students. Governance and strategic direction are presented publicly on the school website and in board communications.
ZISPP describes its community as a mix of parents, international and local teachers, and students who take part in curricular and extra‑curricular activities; the school emphasizes learning-by-doing and community engagement. The school calendar and news feed show regular community events such as study trips, spelling bees, math contests, and term‑end Parent–Teacher Conferences that involve families and staff. ZISPP also runs campus open‑house events and public activities that invite parental participation and community attendance.
ZISPP refers to a parent association called the ZPA (ZISPP Parent Association) that was created to give parents a channel for feedback and participation in school decision‑making. The school lists term Parent–Teacher Conferences and open‑house sessions as regular opportunities for parents to meet teachers and school leaders to review student progress. In school communications the ZPA is presented as a forum for parents' voices to be heard and to support transitions for new families; the site also notes an elected Student Council as a parallel voice for students. Specific parent‑facing events cited on the school website and event calendar include term PTCs, campus open houses, and extracurricular showcases such as spelling bees and math contests where parents are invited to attend. The school's news pages record recent PTCs and other family‑oriented events, indicating active parent engagement in school life.
Zion International School of Phnom Penh (ZISPP) operates multiple Phnom Penh campuses and uses the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) for ages 2–5 and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) for primary classes; its secondary programme is Cambridge-aligned (IGCSE and AS/A Level pathways). The school opened its first (Early Years) campus in 2015 in the Russian Market / Toul Tom Poung area and later expanded with a Chbar Ampov campus (2022) and a new Primary & Secondary campus that had a soft opening on 12 March 2024. ZISPP highlights STEM teaching alongside IPC units, runs a Sports Academy (swimming, team sports) and a range of after-school clubs (e.g., taekwondo, coding, performing and visual arts). The website lists phone/email contact for admissions and asks parents to contact the school for fees and enrolment details.
