As scholarship recipients, learners are expected to serve as role models and ambassadors for Nexus, embodying the school's vision and values.
Waitlist	Waitlist Middleton International School operates a waitlist system for applicants when immediate placement is unavailable. Upon acceptance, if no spot is open, the student is placed on the waitlist, and parents are notified once a place becomes available. It's important to note that the application fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, even if parents choose to withdraw from the waitlist before an offer is made. If no placement is secured within two years, the application is considered unsuccessful, and reapplication would require submitting a new application and fee. Additionally, the Tampines campus maintains a 30% nationality cap; if this limit is reached for a particular nationality, applications from that nationality may only be accepted when the waitlist reopens.	Waitlist Nexus operates a rolling admissions process, meaning applications are accepted throughout the year. However, in instances where a particular year level is at capacity, a waitlist may be implemented. Applicants on the waitlist are considered for admission as spaces become available, with priority typically based on the application date and adherence to any specific enrolment policies. It's advisable to apply early to secure a place for your child.
