Each child at Nexus is taught based on their personal motivations, understanding and talents. All our teachers are internationally qualified and experienced and we hold continuous training for our staff throughout the year.
We empower children to learn by encouraging them to be independent, teaching them to be critical thinkers. Our core subjects measure well above the international average in English, Maths and Science and our ongoing assessment allows us to track each child's performance personally.
We believe in providing a strong community where parents, teachers and children collaborate in open relationships. Parents are valued and play an important role within our school, driving us to grow stronger together. We have an open door policy that encourages regular communication between parents and teachers. Home learning, coursework, school trips, events, activities and general school information is housed online in our Parent Zone, keeping communication clear and informative. We have a variety of parent workshops aimed to support the family network at home.

Years 7 to 9 follow the UK National Curriculum and Years 10 and 11 follow the Cambridge IGCSE. Students in Year 12 and 13 follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
We measure our core subjects against the world’s highest-ranking curriculums. For example, English Literature and Language is benchmarked against UK and New Zealand standards, Maths against Singapore National standards, and Science against the Australian National standards.
We firmly believe in putting your child at the centre of their education.
