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:

  • In Years 10 and 11, learners follow a full range of courses preparing them for IGCSE examinations.

We are committed to holistic, well-rounded education and encourage our students to fully participate in school life.
