We all know the struggle of securing a good school for our kids. From the academic curriculum to facilities, there’s A LOT to consider. So when a new school by a leading private education group opens up in Singapore, we can’t help but sit up and listen…
Say hello to XCL American Academy – a new American International School for students aged 2 to 14 by XCL Education. New purpose-built and dedicated campus facilities are slated to open in August 2023. The school will offer a high-quality, rigorous and accessible American education embedded with American values and character development.
World-class holistic education and accessible school fees await
True to XCL Education’s ethos, the academic curriculum at XCL American Academy is carefully curated to provide an authentic, comprehensive and forward-thinking education that’ll benefit your kids beyond their adolescent years. It mirrors the AERO/Common Core curriculum guidelines while weaving in globally recognised programs like Everyday Math by the University of Chicago, Discovery Works for science, and Scratch for coding by MIT.
The school aims to provide holistic education that consists of a character development program embedded within the core curriculum using the Second Step program, as well as life skills education delivered through a comprehensive set of programs including the Arts, Sports, ECAs, Mandarin Bilingual program, and an innovative simulation of a self-contained economy called Pioneer Town.
Swanky new facilities that make you go ‘wow’!
The new campus will be situated in a nice residential neighbourhood, surrounded by lush greenery and nature parks. Located just 20 minutes away from Orchard Road, the school is easily accessible from any part of Singapore. Parents and students alike will be stoked to know about the access to world-class arts, sports, and technology facilities at XCL World Academy. We’re talking about a 50-metre Olympic-sized swimming pool, a large multi-use sports field, tennis courts and a 750-seat auditorium.
Priority access and seamless transition to High School
It’s great to know that Grade 8 students who graduate from XCL American Academy can enjoy priority access to high school at XCL World Academy. From here, they can pick between the American Advanced Placement (AP) pathway, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme or a Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)-accredited High School Diploma.
“Our vision was to create a high-quality and more fee-accessible school that could inspire the next generation of global pioneers by instilling in children the confidence to be authentic, have the courage to dream, push boundaries and challenge themselves within a proven American education framework that is embedded with American values and character development,” says XCL Education CEO Brian Rogove.
Psst: You don’t have to wait until 2023 to kickstart this life-changing journey. The founding cohort of XCL American Academy students can begin their studies in August 2022 in a Foundation Campus located within the XCL World Academy premises, until the permanent campus is completed. Parents will be happy to hear that founding families joining the school in August 2022 will enjoy special discounts.
