"Or can anyone just stick up a sign claiming to be an international school" why not! anyone can do a crash course, get certified and go and teach! 2nd cheapest in Asia, no surprise really - you do get what you pay for.daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 10:05 pm Is there actually a standard for international schools?

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

Re: Phnom Penh Ranks As 2nd Cheapest Asian City For International Schools
I would say it's because they don't offer an internationally recognised qualification. You study programmes in English and work towards the national Khmer exams and in a national context, that's probably more than enough, but it doesn't make it an international school by any standard measures. Cost of international schools was one of the major factors for us relocating back to my country. That's just a personal preference and I am not saying that my decision detracts from anyone else's, but it was a major one for us and we still believe it was the right decision.daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 11:52 amIsn't American Intercon the same as AIS?

Seems fairly good though. Which school have you people with children them at?Cambo Dear wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 11:24 pm I believe there are various accrediting bodies, but in truth you'd want your kid to have an internationally recognised qualification at the end of their education and having spent all of that money. The ones that offer that are CISP, ISPP, Northridge, Hope, The Giving Tree and BISPP depending on which qualification you wanted to end up with and none of them would be anywhere near the lower end of that scale in terms of fees.
My information is out of date admittedly, but imho unless the children are working towards the IB or GCSE's and A-Levels then there's little point in sending them to an International School. You may as well send them to somewhere like American Intercon.
