Deputy Head of Primary

Nexus International School (Singapore) is an empowering, learning-focused community that values diversity and fosters growth. We are one big family, striving to create an honest and open community with our learners, parents and peers. What sets us apart is our commitment in doing things differently, both in our approach to work and our methods of teaching and learning.

As a private, co-educational international school, we cater to students between the ages of 3 and 18. The School enrolled its first learners in July 2011, accommodating over 900 students, representing more than 50 nationalities back then. Nexus is an authorised IB World School, offering both the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP).

In January 2020, after eight years of rapid growth at its existing campus, Nexus moved its operations to an iconic purpose-built campus located in the heart of Singapore. This facility was designed by educators and features versatile and innovative learning spaces that support learners and enhance the learning experience.

At Nexus, we offers the following curriculum that encompasses:

• Early Years (PYP) learning includes elements of the Reggio Emilia Approach, which puts the natural development of children at the centre of its philosophy.
• Primary Curriculum (PYP) is taught through inquiry, creating experiential and hands-on learning.
• The Secondary Curriculum offers the Middle Year Programme (MYP) for Year 7-9 learners. Teaching and learning in the MYP is framed by inquiry, action and reflection
• In Years 10 and 11, learners follow a full range of courses preparing them for IGCSE examinations.
• In Years 12 and 13, learners follow the Diploma Programme.

We are committed to holistic, well-rounded education and encourage our students to fully participate in school life. With over 90 Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) to choose from and a robust Singapore ACSIS sports program, students have numerous opportunities to engage in extracurricular activities. Various opportunities exist for learners to be involved in community service involvement and learner-led initiatives across the school.
