Home of English International School

Head office and main playschool are in Boeung Keng Kang 3 (Street 360) in central Phnom Penh; the school also lists a Toul Kork branch (Street 1928) and a Prek Eng campus on National Road 1. Addresses and phone numbers for each campus are on the school's contact page.

Provision from playschool and kindergarten up through an International Program covering Grades 1–12; the site also lists a separate Khmer program and other children's programs.

Home of English presents itself as a private international day school (no boarding facilities are listed on the site). The school's material emphasises services for both expatriate and Khmer students.

The school website does not publish detailed information about Additional Learning Needs / special educational needs provision or specific learning‑support services. Parents with children who need extra support are advised to contact the school's admissions office directly for current details and any available assessments or support plans.

The school is located in Cambodia and does not state an affiliation to a particular national government; its International Program uses American‑style curricula (Calvert in lower grades and Keystone for high school).

No religious affiliation is stated on the school website.

The school's public pages do not describe a school bus or transport service. Because Home of English operates multiple campuses across Phnom Penh (BKK3, Toul Kork and Prek Eng), families often arrange private transport or enquire directly with the school about any route options; please contact the admissions team for up‑to‑date transport arrangements, route availability and costs.

Home of English operates multiple streams—playschool & kindergarten, a Children's Program, an International Program (Grades 1–12) and a Khmer stream—plus a range of electives. The playschool and kindergarten curriculum is play‑based and skills‑focused, incorporating art, music, movement, sensory play, learning centers and a children's library to build early literacy and social‑emotional skills. The Children's Program (age six and up) follows an American‑style curriculum with full and half‑day options and explicit instruction in reading, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, social studies, computer studies and oral conversation; class sizes are limited for individual attention. For Grades 1–8 the school uses Calvert and American textbooks to deliver an accredited international curriculum, and Grades 9–12 follow the Keystone National High School program—students receive an American High School Diploma on graduation. The Khmer Program runs K–12 on a Ministry‑approved syllabus preparing students for the Grade 12 national exam (the site reports a high pass rate), and electives include physical education, music, art and a beginner Chinese course.

The school's Playschool & Kindergarten page states that the curriculum “includes social-emotional practices” as part of classroom activities. The Children's Program also lists “character education” and the six C's (including collaboration and communication), which the website presents as part of students' personal and social development. The site describes an English-immersion environment where beginners learn through interaction with teachers and peers, which the school frames as supporting social skills and peer learning. The website does not, however, describe a named SEL curriculum, dedicated SEL team, or specific pastoral staff roles on its public pages.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) support on its website. For general contact details for enquiries the site provides phone numbers and email addresses for its head office and branches.

The website describes an English-immersion environment and explicitly notes that beginners learn from teachers and peers in classroom settings. The International Program page also notes the school serves expatriate and advanced Khmer students using Calvert and Keystone materials, indicating an international/English-medium curriculum for a mixed student body. The site does not, however, describe a separate or named EAL programme, dedicated EAL staff, or pull-out EAL support on its public pages.

The About page states the school aims to create a “mindful student body” and to provide a safe and nurturing environment. The Playschool & Kindergarten page also describes support for the child and family by offering a “safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment.” The website does not publicly describe specific mental-health programmes, school counsellors, or named wellbeing staff on its pages.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding and child protection policies on its website. For enquiries the website lists contact details for its head office and branches.

1. Initial enquiry and campus selection (What to do first). Contact the admissions team to start — Home of English lists a head office and separate phone/email contacts for the Playschool/Kindergarten and branch campuses; parents should phone or email the campus that is most convenient because availability, age ranges and office hours can differ by campus. Save the admissions contact details and note which campus the enquiry is for (Head Office, Playschool & Kindergarten, Toul Kork or Prek Eng). For contact details and campus phone numbers/emails see the school's contact page.

2. Arrange a visit or information meeting (School tour and program choice). Ask for a school tour or an in-person/virtual information meeting so you can confirm which program you need (Playschool & Kindergarten, Children's program, International program Grades 1–12, or Khmer program) and see classrooms and facilities. During the visit, request sample timetables, class sizes, language support options and the program curriculum so you can compare what will suit your child — the site describes multiple program tracks including an International program based on Calvert/Keystone materials. Bring a list of specific questions (transport, uniforms, lunch, after-school options).

3. Application form and required documents (what to prepare). Ask admissions for the official application form and the exact document checklist — common documents schools require include the child's birth certificate/passport, recent school reports or transcripts, immunisation records, proof of residence, parental ID and passport copies, and passport-sized photos; however Home of English's website does not publish a detailed, machine-readable “required documents” list, so you should confirm the exact list with admissions before you prepare originals. Also ask whether documents must be notarised or translated and whether electronic copies are acceptable for the first submission.

4. Placement assessment and interview (how placement is decided). For entry to the International program the school indicates use of the Calvert/Keystone curriculum, so expect some form of placement assessment or review of prior reports to ensure correct year/level placement; for younger children there may be informal observation rather than formal testing. Ask admissions which assessments are used (English reading, writing, maths or an interview) and whether assessments can be done in advance or on the day of enrolment. If English is not your child's first language, ask about language support and whether a separate English-proficiency check will affect placement.

5. Offer, fees and payment (confirm costs and deadlines). If a place is offered you will normally receive an offer or invoice that lists one‑time and annual fees and payment deadlines; Home of English publishes tuition/fee information (see external fee summary below) and the school charges a registration/one‑time fee plus annual tuition and material costs for the first year. Before paying confirm which fees are refundable, the accepted payment methods, and whether there are installment options or deadlines that could affect enrolment. Use the specific figures in the school's fee schedule or confirm the current amounts with admissions — published fee figures for 2025/2026 are available from third‑party fee listings and should be verified with the school.

6. Enrollment confirmation, orientation and start dates. After payment and paperwork the school will confirm enrolment and give you orientation information (start date, uniform list, school calendar, bus or lunch registration). Check the school calendar and events page for the academic term start/holidays and any parent orientation dates — the school posts a calendar but does not publish a detailed online enrolment timeline. Keep a printed or digital copy of the signed contract/receipt and confirm the child's class teacher and room before the first day.

7. After enrolment: ongoing administration and re-enrolment. Note deadlines for re-enrolment, fee changes and school communications (news, events, parent meetings) and keep the school updated if your contact details change. If you expect a mid-year arrival or departure, ask admissions about mid‑term intake, prorated fees, and notice periods for withdrawal. If you need an official school letter for visa or work purposes, request it from the admissions office well in advance.

(Important note) I did not find a dedicated, detailed “Admissions” page or a published step‑by‑step admissions checklist on the school website as of December 30, 2025, so the school's admissions office is the best source for the precise current steps, required documents, assessment formats and payment policies.
