About "Nexus International School"
Nexus International School is a special needs school listed on KakiList and serving families across Singapore, with its campus located at 1 Aljunied Walk. The listing has been verified by a KakiList team member who confirmed operating details and contact information. No Google reviews are currently recorded for this listing, so independent rating data is unavailable at this time. Fees are listed in the mid-range band ($$) on a monthly recurring basis, though families should contact the school directly to confirm current fee schedules.
For families exploring placement, the starting point is typically a diagnostic report from a developmental paediatrician, psychologist, or the MOE Psychological Service, as this documentation is required before a child can be formally assessed for entry. Parents should enquire about the specific conditions and profiles the school supports — such as autism spectrum disorder, global developmental delay, hearing or visual impairment, or physical disability — to confirm fit before proceeding. Nexus International School operates as a private special needs school rather than a MOE-gazetted SPED school, so the fee structure and referral pathway differ from government-subsidised options. Families should ask about the teacher-to-student ratio, how speech therapy, occupational therapy, and other allied health services are integrated into the school day, and what the longer-term transition pathway looks like for students.
To take the next step, contact Nexus International School by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing to request an intake assessment and confirm whether the school's programme aligns with your child's diagnostic profile and learning needs. Listing data is incomplete — contact "Nexus International School" directly to confirm details.
Visit the school, meet the education and therapy team, and request an intake assessment before committing — fit with your child's specific needs matters more than prestige.

Fees at private special needs schools in Singapore vary considerably depending on the school's model and funding structure. MOE-gazetted SPED schools charge Singapore Citizens approximately S$150 per month, while EIPIC early intervention centres typically fall in the S$150–S$800 per month range, subject to income-tested subsidies. Private special needs schools such as Nexus International School generally operate outside the MOE-gazetted framework and may charge in the range of S$1,500–S$4,000 or more per month. The current fee schedule for this school is not displayed on this listing, so families should enquire directly. Beyond the base monthly fee, families should ask about additional costs such as therapy top-up sessions, transport shuttle services, diagnostic assessment fees at partner clinics, and school uniform and materials. Fees at special needs schools are generally GST-exempt, but this should be confirmed with the school. See the full special needs school cost guide for Singapore →
For MOE-gazetted SPED schools, Singapore Citizens benefit from heavily subsidised flat fees, with Permanent Residents and foreigners paying higher tiered rates. These subsidies are administered through the MOE Special Education Branch and do not apply to private special needs schools. For EIPIC early intervention programmes, ECDA's Additional Subsidy is income-tested and can substantially reduce monthly fees for eligible families. NCSS-administered means-tested financial assistance may be available through the school's social worker for families facing financial hardship. SG Enable offers targeted support including the Assistive Technology Fund and vocational pathways for eligible young adults. Where therapy components are delivered at approved clinics, MediSave may be used to partially offset costs. Do note that the Basic Childcare Subsidy and Working Mother Subsidy are designed for mainstream childcare and do not apply to special needs school placements. Funding quantum and eligibility criteria change periodically — families should contact the MOE Special Education Branch and SG Enable directly for the most current figures.
The essential first step is obtaining a formal diagnostic report from a developmental paediatrician, psychologist, or the MOE Psychological Service. Without this documentation, a school cannot proceed with placement assessment, so families should prioritise getting an evaluation in place as early as possible. For MOE-gazetted SPED schools, placement is coordinated through the MOE Special Education Branch rather than directly with the school. For private special needs schools such as Nexus International School, families apply directly and the school will typically conduct its own intake assessment or observation visit to confirm that the programme is a suitable match for the child's profile, communication needs, and support requirements. Waiting lists at well-regarded special needs schools can extend from several months to over a year. Families are strongly advised to begin the referral and application process as early as feasible, and to keep at least one alternative option active while waiting. Contact Nexus International School by phone or enquiry form to ask about current availability and intake timelines.
