Fees

Annual tuition at Brightstar International School of Phnom Penh ranges from KHR 5,390 to KHR 6,500 for 2026/27.

Application fees

- An application fee is required as part of the admission process.

Tuition fees by year group

- The school does not publish a detailed, year-group-by-year-group tuition schedule on its publicly available Fees page.
- An independent school listing reports an indicative annual tuition range of USD 5,390 to USD 6,500 for Brightstar International School of Phnom Penh. This range should be treated as an external estimate rather than a formally published fee schedule.
- A separate short-course (summer programme) fee has been published as USD 550 for a four-week programme; this fee relates to that specific programme rather than to the standard academic-year tuition.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's publicly accessible Fees page does not provide a published billing schedule, term/semester breakdown, or standard payment terms for tuition (for example: dates, instalment options, or late-payment penalties). Parents should note that a current, detailed billing timetable is not available in the school's published fees material.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Brightstar operates as a day school and does not publish any boarding provision or boarding fees; facilities and opening hours are presented for day operation. No boarding fees are published.

Other costs and fees

- The school's admission procedures list required application steps and an application fee but do not list specific amounts for ancillary costs such as uniforms, meals, activity or capital fees, assessment fees, school transport, or learning-resource charges. No comprehensive list of additional chargeable items is published on the Fees page.
- Separate programmes and short courses (for example, the summer programme) may have distinct programme fees (USD 550 for the 4‑week summer course as reported).

Refund information

- No published refund policy or tuition-refund terms appear on the school's publicly available Fees page or admission procedure pages. No specific refund amounts, conditions, or timelines are published.

Fee payment options

- The school provides contact phone numbers and an email address for enquiries and payments, but the Fees page and contact pages do not publish accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer details, credit-card acceptance, or online payment platforms). Parents should use the school contact details to confirm specific payment methods and account details.

Summary of findings and gaps in published information

- The school requires an application fee and operates as a day school.
- A third-party listing gives an indicative annual tuition range of USD 5,390–6,500; a separate listing shows a USD 550 summer-programme fee. These items are external estimates or programme-specific figures rather than a full, itemised, official fee schedule.
- The school's official Fees page does not publish the detailed, per‑year-group tuition amounts, per‑term breakdowns, billing schedule, payment terms, a list of additional optional/compulsory fees, or a refund policy. Because a complete, current fee schedule per year group and the billing/payment details are not published, there is insufficient official public data to produce the full per-term and per-year fee breakdown requested.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Stage 1 – Application submission and document check. The applicant completes and signs the BISPP admission form and submits it along with supporting documents: a copy of the family book, the parent's passport or identification document, the student's birth certificate or passport, three recent passport‑sized photographs, a copy of the vaccination certificate, copies of previous school reports, and an application fee. The registrar reviews the submission to verify completeness and to determine initial eligibility. Placement of the student at BISPP also follows age‑based criteria aligned to the Cambridge curriculum; parents should consult the Grade Level Placement table to confirm the correct class. This stage establishes whether the application can advance to testing.

Waitlist
2. Stage 2 – Admission test and interview. Applicants proceed to an hour‑long cognitive test, after which an interview is conducted with the academic manager. If the test and interview are successful, the application is accepted; if not, BISPP conducts a communication session with the parents to discuss next steps. The admissions process does not publish a formal waitlist or pool system; all decisions proceed through testing, interview, and document review.
