The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an externally-assessed, stand-alone qualification that allows learners to make choices in what they study and follow their passions.
Learners in Year 9 are facing exciting decisions about which subjects they would like to study as part of their IGCSE programme here at NEXUS. We hope the information on this site will provide learners and their families with the knowledge they need to make informed choices.Â
As part of the IGCSE programme, most learners will take four core subjects, one language and up to three electives. The diagram on the right shows you the range of subjects offered.
Your programme of study should reflect your personal needs and goals. If you would like to discuss your options further, please contact the school.
EAL Learners
If you are on the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Programme, this will take the place of your elective subjects. The aim is to use this time to strengthen your academic English, giving you the best possible chance of success across your other IGCSE subjects and preparing you for the IBDP.
If you are unsure whether you will be following this pathway, please speak with Ms Jessica Mascaro (mascaro.j@nexus.edu.sg), who can provide further information.
If you need more information, please go to this page to see how we support our learners and our parents at Nexus.
