International School (Singapore) Nexus

Catherine and Kevin Feldhausen, Australian and American; Hannah (14), Harrison (11) and Ava (8)

All three children have been attending Nexus since we moved to Singapore in April 2014. The experience at the school has been nothing short of amazing. We’ve had four years of one outstanding teacher after another. There’s a wide array of activity choice, from sports to music and drama. Our children have been very involved in a myriad of activities from the beginning. They love Track & Field Day and competing for their house. As parents, the highlights for us are twofold: firstly, the parents and faculty that comprise the Nexus

community; also, the exposure to a diversity of cultures in day-to-day friendships as well as the curriculum. The highlight for the children would have to be overseas trips. Our older two have also travelled internationally for swimming competitions. Nexus was one of the schools we planned to visit on moving here. We came across the website while living in the US and really liked their philosophy. One visit to the school and we knew this was the school for our kids. The school walked the talk when it came to their core values and celebration of diversity. Education

extends well beyond the classroom and we love the holistic approach. We believe in the philosophy of the IB programme and have seen the results in our children. The IB and Nexus’s way of tying it all together is brilliant – it provides students with a strong skill set to be successful in life. As parents, you know your children and what they need in a school; do your homework and find one that works for your family.
