A New Face Of Primary School At Nexus International School

What’s your favourite part of the school day?

Any part of the day where I get to interact with the learners! A particular favourite time is when the children put together their mini-exhibitions to share their understanding and action from the Unit of Inquiry they’ve been working on. Seeing how they’ve taken ownership of their learning is always a powerful reminder of the future-focussed skills they are continually developing. Even our very youngest ones are part of these amazing experiences.

If you were a primary student again, what would make you excited to study at Nexus?

Definitely the treehouse! Also, our innovative flexible learning environments, incredible facilities, the wide range of CCA activities and our truly international community. These provide education experiences outside the classroom and opportunities to act.
