30 Great International Schools in Phnom Penh (2026)

Phnom Penh’s education landscape has transformed dramatically in recent years. A growing number of high-quality international schools have opened their doors, while established institutions continue to upgrade their programs and facilities. For parents seeking private education, the capital now offers an impressive range of choices to match different budgets and curriculum preferences.

As part of our annual school survey, CamboKidz reviewed dozens of brochures, spoke with families of school-age children, and toured campuses across the city. This year’s shortlist of 30 international schools highlights not only those that consistently meet our standards, but also several prestigious newcomers that stood out during our research.

We strengthened our evaluation process by introducing new benchmarks - facilities, extracurricular offerings, and student diversity - areas of particular importance to parents weighing their options. These refinements ensure the list remains both current and comprehensive.

For parents, the abundance of options can feel overwhelming. Our annual list aims to simplify the decision-making process, spotlighting schools that not only meet high standards, but also reflect the diverse needs of Phnom Penh’s growing community.

You'll find the complete 2026 list and details on our updated International Schools page (click the image below).

📆 Mark your calendars! Later this month we'll unveil our 2026 list of 10 Great Pre-schools.
