Our Facilities

Our 10 acre Koh Pich campus was designed to inspire creativity and innovation at every turn. From the green room in the Grade 6-11 library to the makerspace and inviting outdoor areas, we foster student collaboration with their peers, and faculty, through creation. Our dedicated teachers have access to world-class facilities that compliment their lessons in order to build young learners of today into the leaders of tomorrow. 

The elementary, middle and high school divisions are housed in their own dedicated building with indoor, multi-sports gymnasiums and numerous open-air sports facilities. Our open and green campus provides a tranquil oasis close to the heart of Phnom Penh. 

In addition to providing an outstanding learning environment for students, CIS Koh Pich is regularly chosen to host outside charitable events as well as local and international sporting competitions. Arrange a tour to find out why. 

Academic Skills

Our mission is to help learners develop critical thinking skills through authentic, inquiry-based learning experiences. We evaluate a number of factors to determine a child’s academic-readiness to study the Alberta Education or International Baccalaureate curricula. This includes:  

  • Reviewing academic transcripts from the last two school years (if applicable); 
  • Reviewing a confidential recommendation letter from the child’s previous teacher; and 
  • Administering an intake assessment. 

See Application Packet for more information

Social Skills

In our safe learning environment, students have access to many opportunities to engage in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to enhance their social skills. During the intake assessment, our specialist will evaluate your child’s social-emotional wellbeing.  

Student Support

We understand that every student has unique learning needs and may require targeted support to achieve their true potential.  To meet those needs, our counsellors and student support specialists may create a personalized learning plan to ensure students are able to grow and succeed academically. During the intake process we will review each student’s needs and work with you to inform you of the supports that are available, and to determine if our programs are the best fit for your child. 

We also offer additional support for those  who speak English at a low level, based on our assessments.  There is an additional fee for this support.  

Health Services 

As CIS grows, we hope to become a more inclusive environment for learners with varying medical needs by creating Individual Healthcare Plans. However, at this time we do not have the facilities or resources to meet the needs of long-term physical conditions. 

Waiting Lists

A waiting list for accepted students will be created when we meet capacity for a given grade level.  You have the option to pay a non-refundable place-holder fee in order to secure your child’s placement if a space becomes available.
