EFI – École Française Internationale de Phnom Penh offers French and English bilingual education, from Nursery to High School.
EFI – École Française Internationale is a French-English bilingual school based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia since August 2016. We are a private school that follows the programs set out by the French Ministry of Education and the curriculum of Cambridge Assessment International Education, in two languages: 60% of the classes are in French and 40% are in English.
Our students are immersed in a teaching environment specially adapted to suit the diversity of their cultures, languages and their academic journey. The structure of this environment makes it possible to combine the needs of the students in terms of language acquisition, while also setting them on the best academic path to achieve their individual prospects.
EFI shares a campus with CIS – Canadian International School (an English-language school approved by the province of Alberta, Canada) – with which we have developed many partnerships. Our students are therefore immersed in an English-speaking campus that is modern and located right in the heart of Phnom Penh on Diamond Island (Koh Pich).
Today, EFI welcomes almost 170 students spread over 13 classes from Nursery (from 18 months) to Grade 10 (15 years old).
From the age of 4, our students also have the opportunity of taking up a third language, either Khmer or Mandarin. From the age of 12, they can also choose Spanish and Latin.
Principal’s Own Words
A Year Full of Challenges
It is with pleasure that I took up my duties as Principal in August 2021, and I am delighted to join the EFI community to implement its school project targeting the human development of children in a quality learning environment.

We are committed to adapt our practices to the constraints of Covid-19 and we remain attentive to the official recommendations concerning the health and safety regulations for schools while exploring the best pedagogical options for the well-being of our students.
Our 6th school year should also be marked, in the coming weeks, by the recognition of the EFI educational project through the CNED agreement which will allow our first cohort of grade 9 students to take the French “brevet des collèges” exam and the finalization of the accreditation with Cambridge International.
With great enthusiasm, we enter this new cycle of development, and we will make sure to keep you informed of our various projects’ progression.
