XCL World Academy (XWA), a prominent international school in Singapore, has inaugurated a new Early and Primary Years campus designed for children aged 18 months to 11 years. The campus aims to nurture globally minded, bilingual, and future-ready learners through inquiry-led education and the innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology.
The opening ceremony, held on 22 October, was attended by Members of Parliament for Nee Soon GRC, Lee Hui Ying and Syed Harun Alhabsyi, alongside distinguished guests from various embassies and chambers of commerce. XWA’s educators, students, and families also celebrated the launch.
Tammy Murphy, Head of School, emphasised the school’s commitment to lifelong learning beyond exams, stating, “We prioritise education that equips students for life, not just academic tests.” The new campus encourages young learners to explore ideas, use technology creatively, and connect their learning to the world around them.
The school integrates AI literacy, bilingual pathways, and future-ready competencies from the earliest years through its inquiry-based International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme and the XCLerate framework. This framework focuses on creative arts, global citizenship, student leadership, community action, entrepreneurship, and digital literacy.
The bilingual programme features English and Chinese co-teaching, with additional language options in French, Spanish, and Japanese. The campus also includes dedicated spaces for arts, design, science, and wellbeing, alongside an Innovation Hub and an eSports arena.
The new facilities underscore XWA’s commitment to developing confident, empathetic, and future-ready global citizens, prepared to lead change in an increasingly digital-first world.
