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.
No formal external accreditations are listed on the Zion International School of Phnom Penh (ZISPP) website as of December 30, 2025. The school's website describes the curriculum and programmes it uses, which are:
- International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC): an early-years curriculum used internationally for ages 2–5 that emphasizes play-based, inquiry-led learning; the school states it uses the IEYC for its early years provision.
- International Primary Curriculum (IPC): a UK‑standards, thematic and inquiry-based primary curriculum focusing on knowledge, skills and personal development; ZISPP lists the IPC as its primary curriculum.
- Cambridge‑aligned secondary programme (IGCSE / AS / A Level syllabuses): the website describes a Cambridge‑aligned high school programme and references IGCSE and AS/A‑Level subjects for Grades 9–12 (this describes the syllabuses/assessment routes the school teaches, but the site does not state a formal Cambridge/CAIE school centre accreditation).
- Singaporean math and English standards (instructional approach): the homepage notes the use of Singaporean approaches for mathematics and English standards as part of the school's curriculum mix.
Note: I looked for (and did not find) explicit statements on the school website claiming membership or accreditation by common international school accrediting bodies (for example, Council of International Schools, WASC, CIS, or formal Cambridge Centre accreditation). The website emphasizes curricula and institutional partnerships rather than listing external accreditations.
Additional relevant, but not accreditation, items published on the school site: the school has published Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with higher‑education partners (for example, the American University of Phnom Penh and Paragon International University), described on the site as collaborative agreements to support pathways and activities; these are partnerships rather than accreditation statements.
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.
