Admission to Nexus International School (Singapore) is open to learners of all nationalities who demonstrate the capacity to benefit from the challenging international curriculum offered by the school.
We do not discriminate against individuals based on race, colour, religion, disability or ethnic background. In instances where learning support would be needed, suitability of each candidate is considered on a case by case basis to ensure that we are able to meet the learning needs of each child.
We may also take into account a learner’s educational and linguistic background in order to fulfil the school’s duty to provide education in the English medium to the International community.
