Nexus is a co-educational day and boarding school. Boarding is offered for students aged 10 and above, with options for weekday or full boarding.

Nexus provides in-class support through specialist teachers who collaborate with classroom educators to assist students with language and learning needs. In Primary School, Personal Learning Assistants (PLAs) help integrate students with autism spectrum disorders and other complex learning needs into the classroom environment.

Early Years learners (ages 3–5) follow the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), focusing on play-based learning. Primary students (Years 1–6) engage with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), integrating thematic units with core subjects. In Secondary School, Years 7–9 follow a modified UK National Curriculum designed to prepare students for the IGCSE examinations in Years 10–11. The Pre-University level (Years 12–13) offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), recognized by universities worldwide.

The school emphasizes the development of positive relationships between students and teachers to create a supportive learning environment.

In the Early Years program, the curriculum focuses on helping children acquire skills to interact appropriately with others, control emotions, and communicate effectively.

Nexus supports students with mild to moderate learning difficulties through its Alternative Pathway program, which offers a personalized curriculum tailored to individual learning styles and needs. The school employs ELL teachers trained in English as an Additional Language (EAL) and special needs to co-plan and deliver differentiated learning experiences. Inclusion teachers work with class teachers to provide practical advice and support, including in-class assistance and specific interventions. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but offers integrated support within the mainstream curriculum.

Nexus offers a structured English language support programme tailored to students' proficiency levels. The Intensive English Programme (IEP) is designed for learners at CEFR A2 level, providing specialized English instruction in small groups for approximately 35% of the week, alongside mainstream classes. Students at CEFR B1 level can join the English as an Additional Language (EAL) support programme, which includes targeted sessions to develop academic English skills, particularly in preparation for examinations. For students requiring minimal assistance, in-class support is available to further enhance their academic English. Additional fees apply for the IEP and EAL programmes.

Nexus places a strong emphasis on student mental wellbeing through dedicated staff and structured programs. The school employs counsellors who offer individual support, promote resilience, and assist teachers in supporting emotional wellbeing in the classroom.

Nexus was awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools (WAS), recognizing its high standards in emotional wellbeing and mental health provision for learners, staff, and parents. Pastoral care is a core component, with form tutors as key contacts and a restorative approach to fostering positive relationships.
