IGCSE Subject Choices
At Nexus, our learners benefit from a wide selection of IGCSE subjects, giving them the flexibility to pursue their interests while building a strong academic foundation. All learners take courses in the Core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics) and a Language. Beyond that learners can choose from a broad range of electives across The Arts, Humanities and Applied Sciences. These include distinctive options such as Computer Science, Moving Image Arts, Drama and Music, subjects that are rarely offered at other international schools.
Learner wellbeing is also prioritised through non-examination subjects such as Core Physical Education (PE) and Personal, Social, Health & Economic (PSHE) Education, which play a key role in supporting personal growth, resilience and overall balance.
