Nexus is a privately owned international school in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The student body consists of expats from a large number of countries, members of government departments such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and private fee-paying Malaysians; the school roll is expected to grow to more than 800 over the next few years. NISP follows a British flavoured international curriculum, which includes IPC, IGCSE and IB Diploma. 

 The school is an inclusive environment and has a focus on personalisation of learning. ICT is fully integrated at all levels in the school; younger children are using iPads, the primary school has access to laptops in trolleys and learners from Year 5 – 13 have their own MacBook Pro laptops which are used across the curriculum.
