Northbridge International School Cambodia (NISC) is a privately owned English-speaking international school, catering for students aged between 3 and 18 in Phnom Penh. Founded in 1996, it is one of the largest international schools in the country with over 500 students representing more than 30 nationalities. The faculty is international with teachers representing more than 14 nationalities.
NISC was founded in 1996 and opened in September 1997 with Mr. David Eaton as its first school head. For the first years there was a resident elephant on campus to help maintain the grounds. The school was initially owned by Northbridge Communities Ltd., with its base of operations located in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2003, French ceased to be the official second language of Cambodia, further encouraging Cambodians to educate their children in English in international schools like Northbridge International School Cambodia.
In February 2007 the entire Northbridge project – housing community and international school – was purchased by The Royal Group located in Cambodia. Today, NISC is a proprietary educational institution fully licensed as an international school with the Cambodian Ministry of Education under the name of International School Cambodia, Ltd. The school benefits from the support of Cambodia’s largest holding company and its commitment to making NISC a leading educational institution in the region.
The school is continuing to expand and is continuing to develop its facilities following innovative master plans.
