The Canadian International School of Phnom Penh (CIS) is a growing community of almost 1,000 students from Nursery through Grade 12. Our student body comprises 34 nationalities. The school has two centrally located campuses with world-class facilities in the heart of Phnom Penh. We are proud to offer the IB Primary Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme.
At CIS, we are committed to high-quality international education. We are proud to be one of 16 international schools accredited by Alberta Education. In 2019, we were the first school in Cambodia to receive the LabelFrancÉducation seal from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in recognition of our French Bilingual Program. In March 2021, CIS became an authorized IB World School.
CIS recruits only certified, highly skilled, and exceptionally motivated teachers. We look for dynamic, innovative individuals with unique skill sets who are committed to making a positive contribution to our community. Successful candidates will openly embrace our school values of integrity, belonging, well-being, and inspiration. All candidates undergo rigorous background checks and must commit to fulfilling our child safeguarding requirements.
