AISPP has been awarded the highly esteemed 5-year accreditation status by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC). We have also achieved the prestigious accreditation from the Council of International School (CIS).
CIS International Accreditation is a rigorous, school-wide evaluative process that measures alignment with internationally benchmarked standards and provides guidance for continued improvement.
We offer IB education from the Primary Years Programme (PYP), through to the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and close with both the Diploma Programme (DP) and the Career-related Programme (CP) for the final two years.
We utilise the Australian national curriculum.

teaching staff fosters a love of learning and creativity, ensuring each student receives personalised attention and care.
With a diverse community and a curriculum that prepares students for a global future, AISPP is more than a school—it's a journey toward lifelong
success.
Secondary | Ages 11-18
We aim to provide pathways for each individual student to find success, not only at school but when they leave to study further or begin a career.
The school is proud to be the only four-programme IB school in Cambodia, and in Secondary we offer IB Middle Years, Diploma and Careers-related Programmes. The CP offers a more specialized pathway into areas such as art, design, engineering or hospitality.
