In eager anticipation of the first day of school, we wanted to bring you highlights of all that you can look forward to when considering this world-class institution. Check out what sets XCL World Academy (formerly known as GEMS World Academy Singapore) apart and has it reaching the top of our list:
Globalised learning
Four key values define XCL World Academy (formerly known as GEMS World Academy Singapore) ’ academic approach: global citizenship, pursuing excellence, growing by learning, and leadership through innovation. Based on a stellar track record of their students’ academic performance upon graduation, it’s clear this approach is working. After all, GEMS students have gone on to study in 12 of the 15 top universities in the world and six of the top eight Ivy League universities.
With a balanced programme in academics, sports, and the arts, your child will be afforded a value-driven education that fosters excellence across various disciplines. The global network of award-winning XCL World Academy (formerly known as GEMS World Academy Singapore) schools around the world also allows students to enjoy privileges like preferential placements at other GEMS schools.
Educational expertise
GEMS believes that the best teachers make the biggest difference, and ensures that only the crème de la crème are hired as educators. Teachers possess at least 15 years’ experience in an international school. The school regularly holds courses to help them keep abreast of the latest developments in best practices and research tools. Yes, the learning never ends!
Meaningful parental engagement
Parents play an integral role in a child’s development. International research has proven that a child does well when parents take an active, consistent interest in their learning at home. XCL World Academy (formerly known as GEMS World Academy Singapore) ’s parental engagement programme aims to provide parents with a pro-active role in shaping and mentoring their child. One-on-one consultations with teachers and workshops on the latest teaching methods are a regular feature. The school will also inform parents about study programmes in advance to gather parents’ feedback and suggestions.
There are two types of assessments parents receive about their child’s progress: Formative assessment – self and peer evaluations, teacher observations, group presentations and quizzes – will be used to map out his/her future learning needs. Summative assessment, which includes written tests, presentations, and examinations, will provide a clearer idea of the student’s understanding according to course standards.
Smart school facilities
At XCL World Academy (formerly known as GEMS World Academy Singapore), you can expect nothing but the best for your child, and that includes equipping the campus with ‘smart’ facilities to create learning opportunities in and out of the classroom. An awe-inducing 3D planetarium and Olympic-sized swimming pool on its grounds promise heaps of fun for children of every age group. The school is also equipped with state-of-the-art IT infrastructure and technology resources to help students become digitally savvy.
