One continuum,
age 3 to 18.
Four stages, one philosophy. A learner who begins in Early Childhood moves through Primary and Secondary School and finishes in Pre-University, ready for university — without ever changing schools.
Learning by asking,
not by copying.
Across every division our students learn through inquiry, build conceptual understanding, and become agents of their own learning — partners in the process rather than recipients of it.

Ten attributes, one film

A love of learning,
from the very first steps.
Hands-on, whole-child,
ages 3 to 5.
Our Early Childhood program provides children ages 3 through 5 with a comprehensive, hands-on educational experience that supports cognitive, social-emotional and physical development, as well as language and communication skills.
We believe in inquiry learning and provide spaces and experiences for students to explore, discover, and make real-life connections. Concepts and skills are taught through an integration of language arts, math, science, physical education, and social and fine arts activities. Exposure to various social, sensory, motor, artistic and pre-academic activities ensures strong foundations during the early stages of child development.

Three steps into school
Built around small people
Primary School,
Grades 1 to 5.
Students learn through inquiry and build conceptual understanding while becoming agents of their own learning and partners in the learning process.
BIS is an IB candidate school* for the Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP framework is defined by six transdisciplinary learning themes that transcend borders, connecting to what is real in the world — and those themes explore knowledge drawn from seven disciplinary areas.

One model, three pillars
The learner, learning and teaching, and the learning community - three pillars held together by agency and action. This is the framework behind every Primary unit your child studies.
Questions that cross
every subject
Where the knowledge comes from
Five languages,
introduced gradually
All subjects are taught in English, complemented by additional language programs introduced gradually throughout the primary years.
Grades 6 to 10,
from the classroom to the real world.
After entering secondary school, our students take on a broader and more demanding curriculum — from Grade 6 through to Grade 10.
This program encourages students to be risk-takers, critical thinkers and creative problem solvers who can apply what they've learned in the classroom to the real world. It helps students acquire researching, thinking, communicating and management skills. Our students must have a strong regard for cultural diversity and global commitment.
Five reasons families choose BIS
The Secondary curriculum
at Bloom
The years the levels
become certificates.
Core subjects are taught in English. Alongside them, Grades 6 to 10 are where language study stops being exposure and starts being assessed against published international levels — with the first external certificates earned before students leave Grade 10.
One journey,
all the way through
Secondary School leads directly into our final two years — no change of school, no gap in the journey.
The last two years,
and what comes
after them.
Our Pre-University stage prepares students for university, careers and a meaningful life beyond school. Students take on greater independence, sharpen their academic writing and research, and build the portfolio and references a university application needs.
Ready for what
comes next.
What Grade 11 and
Grade 12 look like
Two years with different jobs to do. The first is for breadth, settling into independent study and finding the direction; the second is for applications, examinations and finishing well.
Nobody applies
on their own.
Applying to university from Cambodia means navigating several systems at once — Cambodian, American, British, Australian, European. Guidance is built into the timetable rather than left to a single appointment.
Discover the
International Baccalaureate
The International Baccalaureate provides four educational programmes for students aged 3–19. Together, they provide a continuum of international education. Schools must be authorized by the IB to offer any of its programmes.
BIS is currently an IB candidate school for the PYP, and is fully authorized by the Royal Government of Cambodia through the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport.
*BIS is an IB candidate school for the PYP. Candidacy does not guarantee authorization — only IB-authorized schools can offer IB programmes. Learn more at ibo.org.
