The King's School, Vattanacville

What The King's School, Vattanacville does

The King's School, Vattanacville is a private British international school operating in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, founded in 2023 as an overseas extension of The King's School, Canterbury — the oldest school in the United Kingdom with over 1,400 years of heritage. The school delivers a trilingual education in English, Khmer, and Mandarin, organized across Early Years (Pre-Nursery through Reception), Junior School (Years 1-6), and Senior School (Years 9-13), with curriculum frameworks including EYFS, IEYC, Cambridge Primary Pathway, IGCSE, and IB Diploma/A-Level preparation. A defining feature is the proprietary bilingual co-teaching model that places one international and one Cambodian qualified teacher as equals in every classroom, rather than relying on a teaching-assistant model.

The school operates from Levels 3 and 5 of the Vattanac Capital Lifestyle Cube on Preah Monivong Boulevard, with a purpose-built campus planned in the Vattanacville district. It is the first and only COBIS-accredited school in Cambodia and won the Highest Country Average in the World Rocks Math Competition in 2026 as the only Cambodian school participating internationally. Governance is anchored by the Vattanac family (founders of Vattanac Bank and Vattanac Properties), with Carrie Cameron as Principal and Mark Taylor as Bursar.

The business model is tuition-based recurring revenue from enrolled families in Phnom Penh, complemented by Summer Programmes and Extra-Curricular Activities. Tuition fees are not publicly disclosed and are quoted via the admissions team. The go-to-market is admissions-driven, combining campus tours, placement assessments, year-round rolling enrollment, Open House events, and a digital channel mix spanning website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Telegram. A strategic digital collaboration MoU with Vattanac Bank (April 2026) extends the distribution channel into the bank's retail customer base.
