Offering them the following accredited international curriculum programmes:

OUR
PRIMARY SCHOOL

Primary School spans the longest period of a child’s education and it is also the time when the most connections and discoveries take place.

OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL CATERS TO

NURSERY (AGE 3)
THROUGH TO
YEAR 6 (AGE 11)

We offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) which is a transdisciplinary programme – in other words, we are always looking to make connections across different curriculum areas to make learning as authentic and meaningful as possible. For our youngest learners, they use the Early Years component of the PYP.

Starting from a young age, we seek to nurture lifelong internationally-minded learners. As the future becomes increasingly uncertain, we believe that it is our role as educators to prepare our children to not just cope with change, but to view it as a catalyst and an inspiration for growth and development. We strive to develop learners’ resilience, communication skills and learning agility.

Nexus embraces a restorative approach to relationships. At this stage of life, the plasticity of the brain allows it to grow and develop phenomenally. Following our holistic view on learning, we believe in nurturing social and emotional skills in our learners. We seek to cultivate positive mindsets that will propel our learners forward in their lives.

Apart from preparing our learners for important exams, we also believe in setting our learners up for life itself. The World Economic Forum and other sources show that the landscape of employment is evolving and employers are looking for effective soft skills in addition to knowledge. Hence, we strive to develop learners who are problem solvers who think critically, apply concepts and information to novel situations while collaborating and communicating excellently.

During this crucial period in a child’s educational journey, we want to empower our learners to discover and pursue their passions. We firmly believe in finding the untapped talent that every learner possesses. We also encourage them to learn about their place and influence in the world, knowing that they will take a productive part in the global society going forward.
