History

Northbridge International School of Cambodia was founded in 1996 and opened in September 1997 with Mr. David Eaton as its first school head. [2] The school was initially owned by Northbridge Communities Ltd., with its base of operations located in Thailand.

In 2003, French ceased to be the official second language of Cambodia, further encouraging the Cambodian elite to educate their children in English in international schools like Northbridge International School Cambodia. [3] In February 2007 the entire Northbridge project – which included housing community and international school – was purchased by the Cambodian-based Royal Group.

In July 2014 the school became a part of the Nord Anglia Education family of schools which has more than 80 international schools around the world, with Nord Anglia managing and operating Northbridge International School, while Royal Group remains the property owner. [4]

Campus

Northbridge International School Cambodia is set in a spacious 20-acre green campus consisted of modern facilities including the Makerspace for the STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), dance studio, science labs, design studio, gym, and large green fields.

In August 2018, NISC celebrated the grand opening of the newly constructed Sports Hall by Nord Anglia Education CEO, Mr Andrew Fitzmaurice, [5] while the 25 metre-long, eight lane main swimming pool built to FINA specifications opened in 2021. [6]

Northbridge is located in the west of the city, and is in close proximity to Phnom Penh International Airport. [7]
