OUR
PEOPLE

Inspired learning starts with highly motivated and professional teachers. More than 80% of our teachers possess more than 5 years of teaching experience, and hold 2 or more professional qualifications; highlighting the experience our teachers hold to provide quality education for all our learners. But the learning doesn’t stop there. We invest in continuous staff training, from programmes such as our own in-house professional development, to coaching, to hosting guest speakers and sharing best practices with other international schools. Nexus encourages personal development, with 43% of teachers holding a Masters Degree, and with many more currently studying at postgraduate level. We also ensure our support staff are experienced; 57% of our classroom assistants have degrees. Language is very important; as an international school this is often the first time children experience a language that may not be their mother tongue. At Nexus we deliberately employ staff from across the globe who are able to speak a range of languages to help our learners communicate and build confidence.

THE CULTURE

The Nexus brand was designed with 21st century learning in mind at every level of the school. This need to continually evolve and respond to the future is an ethos that has underpinned the growth of Taylor’s Schools to become one of Asia’s leading private education providers. The “Nexus Way” was developed with the guiding philosophy to adopt key elements of Mindsets, Relationships, Inclusion, and Innovation. We invest in continuous staff training, from programmes such as our own in-house professional development, to coaching, to hosting guest speakers and sharing best practices with other international schools.

My purpose is to inspire people, one conversation at a time, with a shared vision and common purpose. There is no defining action, no grand program, no killer innovation, it’s about building momentum with courageous people.

I’m known for walking alongside people, to create a culture where they feel safe, have a strong sense of belonging and flourish in their own unique ways. Listening deeply, encouraging them to recognize their true value and in turn, enriching others.
