The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) personalises each child's learning journey, nurturing children's social, emotional and academic development. Under the careful guidance of a British-trained, highly experienced teaching

faculty, every student's potential is fully inspired and released.

According to the official website, students in the school's Early Years (Nursery/Reception) programme generally start from age 3, though some early learners over the age of 2 may also be admitted. The programme is designed for children aged 2 to 5, giving them a foundation in reading, writing and learning within a safe and happy environment.

The school offers half-day sessions for Early Years children, catering to parents who prefer shorter school hours for their child.

Parents may choose a morning or afternoon half-day session, with the flexibility to begin full-day schooling whenever their child is ready.

Morning session: 8.40am to 12.00pm

Afternoon session: 11.50am to 3.10pm

Full-day session: 8.40am to 3.10pm

Exact times are subject to the latest timetable published by the school each term.

The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) makes learning more rigorous and in-depth through authentic themes, aiming to prepare students for future success. It focuses not only on academic learning but also explicitly develops international-mindedness, personal qualities and character.

With the IPC as the main tool for helping students reach their fullest potential, the school also draws on the English National Curriculum, supplementing learning objectives where it deems necessary and cross-referencing the IPC with the British curriculum.

Through these two curricula, the school pursues the following educational goals:

• To give all learners the greatest opportunity to become lifelong learners;
• To provide all learners with a broad, balanced, relevant and rigorous curriculum;
• To equip learners with the knowledge and understanding to pursue further academic careers and adapt to life in the twenty-first century;
• To ensure equal opportunities for all learners regardless of gender, race, religion or background;
• To promote learners' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

At the start of each new unit, class teachers send parents an overview of the topics to be covered along with ways they can support their child during the unit. Mathematics learning objectives are also shared with parents at the beginning of each term. In addition, class websites are updated weekly, with teachers detailing the coming week's learning plans so parents stay informed. Parents with any questions about the curriculum are welcome to contact the class teacher or the Head of Primary directly at any time.

Home learning is designed to strengthen the relationship between home and school, keeping parents informed of the work and activities students do at school while encouraging effective time management, good study habits and a sense of responsibility. Students should generally try to complete home learning independently, as it is based on what they have learned in class or serves as preparation for the next lesson.

Primary learners may take books home to read and are encouraged to share them with their parents or guardians. Children receive homework once a week; the workload varies and increases year by year, and all students are expected to complete their home learning within the allotted time.

Reading is encouraged throughout a child's primary years, beginning with simple picture books in kindergarten and developing progressively according to each student's reading level. Students in every year group have suitable class readers to enjoy at home with their parents. Reading builds an important connection between parents, learners and teachers.

All primary students are required to borrow library books weekly, renew them and complete the reading. The school's teachers and librarians help students with book selection and research.

As the first international school in Kuala Lumpur with lessons led by teachers certified by the UK's Forest School Learning Initiative (FSLI), Nexus Forest School has set a whole new benchmark. All teachers involved in the Forest School programme are professionally trained, bringing solid knowledge, skilled teaching techniques and rich hands-on experience to ensure every lesson is both engaging and safe.

Nexus Forest School sits within the school's own campus, and primary learners from the early years through Year 6 have the opportunity to experience Forest School lessons every year.

The carefully designed Forest School curriculum breaks through traditional educational frameworks, encouraging learners to take the lead on their own path of growth. Its child-centred approach nurtures individual development, building resilience, confidence, independence and creative thinking. With nature as the perfect classroom, children at Nexus Forest School form deep connections with the natural world, develop ecological awareness, and gain a profound understanding of ethical living and sustainability. Through this all-round education, students grow into global citizens with a sense of responsibility and an understanding of their role in creating a better future for the planet.

Forest School activities:

Sensory walks and foraging — plant identification

Shelter building — knot tying

Minibeast hunts — animal identification

Tree climbing

Campfire cooking

Woodwork (tool making)

The Nexus Middle School Programme (MSP) is designed to bridge the gap between the IPC and IGCSE, ensuring continuity and a seamless learning journey from primary school to senior school.

Middle school courses are taught around “Big Ideas”, or concepts, guiding learners to make connections, think independently and critically, and apply their knowledge to real-life situations. Through the programme, students develop into self-motivated, inquiring learners well prepared for the IGCSE examinations.

The school offers a rigorous, challenging and diverse curriculum focused chiefly on cultivating, stimulating and elevating students' intellectual curiosity. Technology is used to enable deeper personalised learning, rich academic discussion and the development of innovative academic skills.

The Years 7 to 9 curriculum gives students the foundational knowledge for IGCSE study together with the international-mindedness of the IB, preparing them to build independent and critical thinking.

The middle school curriculum includes:

Personal, Social Development (PSD)

The PSD programme supports learning across the subject areas by developing self-management, relationship building, social awareness, digital literacy, critical thinking, and health and wellbeing. Delivered by tutors, the course is designed to meet learners' needs at every stage of middle school.

Mathematics

The mathematics curriculum develops and explores relationships, approaching mathematics with curiosity, courage, confidence and intuition. Building on key concepts and applied processes, students are challenged to explore, apply and solve complex problems representing real-world situations and applications. Learners are continually encouraged to talk about mathematical processes and ideas, and to recognise that problems can be solved through many different insights and methods.

English

The middle school English curriculum develops students' reading comprehension, accurate writing and confidence in spoken English. These skills are built through the study of fiction and non-fiction from a wide range of cultures around the world. Students are encouraged to read in every lesson and to keep a weekly reading journal.

Science

Middle school science is an integrated course that sparks students' curiosity about science through a deep understanding of key scientific concepts and skills. Blending theory with hands-on practice, it enables learners to explore and understand the world around them and the role science plays in everyday life. In Year 9, science is taught along the IGCSE pathway.

L.O.T.E (Languages Other Than English)

It is well established that speaking two or more languages strengthens ability in core subject areas such as reading, English literacy, social studies and mathematics, while enhancing communicative, global and international awareness. The middle school L.O.T.E programme develops the learning of European and Asian languages — Malay, French and Spanish — for learners whose native or first/second language is Mandarin, Malay or another language.

Humanities

Humanities is an integrated course covering a range of disciplines including history, geography, sociology, economics, politics and religion. It aims to develop internationally minded, flexible thinkers with the ability to work independently and think critically. Students are taught to formulate lines of inquiry and to test ideas by examining real-world examples, as a tool for reaching a deeper understanding of issues.

The Arts

Studying the arts strengthens learners' creativity, confidence, awareness and conceptual thinking. In the middle school curriculum, the arts encompass music, art, design and drama.

In art and design, learners explore visual, tactile and other sensory experiences to communicate ideas. They work with traditional as well as new media, learning to appreciate and evaluate images and artefacts across eras and cultures and to understand the contexts in which they were made.

Drama builds learners' confidence through working with scripts, design projects and responses to a variety of stimuli. Through performing themselves, learners also explore costume, props, lighting, sound and more.

The music curriculum introduces learners to a wide variety of musical styles, instruments and forms of stimulus. Through listening, performing and composing, learners develop their musicianship both independently and in groups.

Physical Education

At Nexus, physical health matters greatly. The middle school PE curriculum emphasises participation, enjoyment and improved fitness, fostering lifelong habits of physical exercise.

In Years 10 and 11, Nexus follows the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum and examinations.

At Nexus, the school takes pride in its students' top-ranking results and is committed to their education and development. Learners are given as much support as possible in teaching, tutoring, advice and the use of school facilities.

For IB learners, the school stands ready to provide additional support to help them meet the requirements needed to achieve their dreams.

A dedicated IB education team gives the school's IB students maximum support according to their individual needs and specific subject areas.

CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) is a compulsory core component of the IB. Through it, students gain:

• Increased awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth;

Students aged 10 to 18 can find new room to grow in the boarding house.

Options include:

• Full boarding
• Weekly boarding (Monday to Friday only)
• Day boarding (Monday to Friday, 7.30am-8pm)

The Nexus boarding house is home to dozens of boarders from many countries and regions. Nexus boarding offers learners a mutually supportive community in a multicultural environment, fostering boarders' independence and mutual respect.

Within the Nexus boarding house, learners have the freedom and space to exercise excellent life skills that keep them in good form.

Every day the boarding house arranges plenty of activities that help boarders naturally develop life skills such as independence, responsibility, teamwork, and social and problem-solving abilities. At the same time, boarders build lasting friendships with like-minded peers — all within a safe and caring environment.

Boarders' daily activities include:

• Routine tasks such as keeping their rooms tidy and doing laundry;
• After-school activities, including joining sports teams, assisting as captains or serving on the school council;
• Weekend activities such as bowling, sailing, cycling and go-karting;
• Baking birthday cakes for friends;
• Completing after-school homework.

The school's commitment to every boarder is a caring and supportive environment. Each floor is staffed with houseparents who oversee the boarders' daily needs. In keeping with the school's ethos of care and respect, boarders can rely on the services the school provides for them.

Nexus International School has three dining venues — the secondary school café plus the primary and secondary school canteens.

To cater to its international student body, Nexus serves a variety of balanced meals in the school cafeteria to suit different tastes and requirements. Students may also bring their own lunch to school and eat it in the Nexus cafeteria, or purchase lunch at the café and canteens.

Students are issued a Nexus One card that can be used to buy food. If a student forgets or loses the card, a meal voucher for the day can be obtained from the office. School visitors can obtain meal vouchers from the Student Services Centre.

Card balances can be topped up through the top-up platform.

Parents who wish to pre-order food for their children can also place orders on this platform.

Nexus outsources its school bus service to a transport company with well-trained and rigorously vetted drivers.

The buses are also fitted with GPS tracking so parents can monitor their location, and parents receive a password to access their bus route. Routes are planned according to the number of sign-ups received and are drawn up in consultation with parents. Each bus serves a maximum of four pick-up and drop-off points, depending on where parents are located.

Routes currently offered include: PUCHONG, MONT KIARA, BANGSAR, KLCC, IOI, CYBERJAYA and SUBANG.
