Nexus offers the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP is one of the most transferable educational curricular in the world. It is authorised and evaluated by the International Baccalaureate (IB) and taught in over 109 countries across the world.
Outdoor education and extensive Physical and Health (PHE) programmes are designed to meet the physical and social needs of the learners under our care. Our PHE involves weekly swimming, field games and fine and gross motor skills development. Many learners represent the school in sports teams, including football, athletics, netball, basketball, rugby and swimming.
All Primary children have specialist Visual Arts and Music lessons each week. They make art and are exposed to the historical and philosophical concepts that underpin creative movements and each year we hold a stunning Primary Art Exhibition. Every year, there are major Primary School productions, giving learners the opportunity to develop confidence and performance skills in music and drama.
We welcome and strongly encourage ongoing communication with parents – our door is always open.
Inquiry-based learning is active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying discrete areas of knowledge. Learners will identify and research issues and questions to develop their knowledge and understanding. They will synthesise what they have discovered, make connections to prior learning, draw conclusions, take action and move forward with increased confidence.
In Primary School, we learn both in class and out. Our indoor learning pods are designed to have flexible spaces that can be adapted to suit the learning taking place. Specialist rooms such as Music Studios, Recording Suites, Art Studios, Ceramics Room and Digital Technology Makerspaces ensure that your children have the very best resources to succeed. This gives children the flexibility to learn in groups, pairs or as individuals. Outside class we have open green spaces, four fully equipped playgrounds, gyms and a swimming pool.
Our new campus at Aljunied has taken all of our current practical understanding and improved them to ensure your child has an enriched forward-looking learning environment. Each pod has a kitchen hub, design technology zone, breakout spaces and performance areas.
Our two storey Learning Resources Hub (Library) provides a space for learners to collaborate, present and share their work, and of course cosy nooks for our learners to engage in reading. Our Primary Makerspaces are equipped with all the latest technology to give your child the opportunity to create, innovate and build.
School Trips are designed to provide children with new experiences outside the classroom, which enhance and extend their learning. Singapore day trips in every year group are included in the school fees. In addition, in Years 3 to 6 learners experience residential trips in Singapore and beyond. These life changing experiences offer alternative educational opportunities, such as outward bound challenges and community service.
Year 3 Trip – Sarimbun
In Semester 1, learners from Year 3 go on a one-night residential trip to Sarimbun Campsite (Jurong), Singapore. The purpose of this trip is to enable learners to build self confidence and support others during challenging tasks, working as a team. They will have fun with their peers while learning independence, away from familiar surroundings and routines.
Year 4 Trip – Malacca
In Semester 1, all learners from Year 4 go on a two-night residential trip to Malacca, Malaysia. Learners experience independence while finding out about the explorers and migrants who have shaped both the people and history of Malacca.
Year 5 Trip – Bintan
In Semester 2, learners from Year 5 travel by ferry for a two-night residential trip to Bintan, Indonesia. They participate in a wide range of activities such as kayaking and boom-netting, discover eco-friendly methods practised by the resort and make a positive impact on the local community through a service activity.
Year 6 Trip – Langkawi
In Semester 2, learners from Year 6 fly to Malaysia for a four-night residential trip in Langkawi. There, they develop a greater understanding of sustainable practices that help to promote balance between our needs and the needs of the environment.

Our curriculum standards are high. They are based on those recognised by PISA and OECD as world class. We use a blend of Singapore, UK, New Zealand and Australian standards to create bespoke curriculum standards that best fit the needs of our international learner community.

In order to personalise learning for each child, our teachers continuously assess each child’s knowledge and understanding of the concepts taught. As facilitators to your child’s education our role is to know what they know, understand and can apply at different stages in the learning process.
Our ongoing assessments include personal reading assessments, phonic and spelling assessments all using internationally benchmarked tests, as well as ongoing maths diagnostics and writing tasks.
Parents have numerous occasions to celebrate their child’s learning. Families are encouraged to attend their child’s Mini Exhibitions, the annual Learning Conference and receive two comprehensive learning summaries at the end of each semester. We know that an active partnership between learners, teachers and parents is key. We must all be aware of learner strengths and weaknesses as well as strategies to improve their learning.

We know that children are creative and naturally motivated to learn. When encouraged to inquire, children retain their passion to explore and extend their understanding, knowledge and skills. This involves children reflecting on all aspects of their learning; academic, physical and social development. Our aim is to foster the development of the whole child and we provide strong support for this.
Primary School culminates in our PYP Exhibition. This is an opportunity for our Year 6 learners to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes they have gained over their time in Primary School and to take meaningful action. In recent years our children have led a training session for the Singapore Paralympics Team, built links with a school for refugees in Malaysia, created a road safety programme for Nursery to Year 2 learners and worked with the Singapore Children’s Cancer Foundation to run a satellite fundraising event that raised over $7,500!
