Curriculum and academics
Nexus is an IB World School offering IB programmes from the early years, with Cambridge IGCSE in the middle years and the IB Diploma in the senior school. This pairing gives students recognised mid stage qualifications alongside the inquiry based IB approach, leading to a globally accepted final diploma. Teaching is delivered by specialist staff, with emphasis on languages, science, mathematics and the creative arts. The school promotes independent learning, wellbeing and service alongside academic challenge. IB Diploma results and university destinations are published each year, and families should request the most recent figures directly when comparing academic outcomes across schools in the city.
Fees and value
Indicative annual tuition runs from roughly S$28,000 in the early years to about S$46,000 in the senior school. These figures are a guide and exclude one off registration and assessment charges, an enrolment deposit, and extras such as lunch, uniform, transport and examination entry.

Admissions
Admission is offered subject to availability, with the main intake in August and rolling entry where places exist. Families complete an online application and submit recent school reports and supporting documents. Age appropriate assessments may form part of the process, particularly for entry to the upper school. Demand can be strong in popular year groups, so early application is advised. The admissions team guides families through document requirements and any waiting list arrangements. International families relocating outside the main intake should contact the school directly to check current availability, as places can open at different points across the year as the roll changes.
Location and community
The campus is in the Aljunied area of central east Singapore, on the city fringe and well connected by the rail network. This central location suits families living in the central, east and city districts, and makes the school accessible from much of the island. The purpose built site includes specialist facilities for sport, science and the performing arts, along with dedicated early years provision. The community is international and the parent body helps new arrivals settle quickly. A broad programme of activities beyond lessons supports sport, music, drama and service, reflecting the IB emphasis on developing the whole student rather than examination results alone.
