“We are proud to be the very first foundation family of XCL American Academy! We were looking for an international school for our children that would offer a rigorous American curriculum. When we heard that XCL Education plans to open a new American school in Singapore, we knew that it would be another successful school under their group of schools, and we had to check it out. After meeting the Admissions Team and Superintendent, Darin Carney, we were very impressed with the school’s plans, curriculum, character development program and teaching philosophy. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that the tuition cost is much lower compared to other American International Schools in Singapore. We wish Mr Darin Carney and XCL American Academy a successful journey! We are very excited to start this journey together!” – Rohit Copra and Harpreet Kaur

Curriculum

XCL American Academy's vision is to create a 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.

XCL American Academy has carefully selected only the very best curriculum programs that have been tried and tested in the United States and worldwide. In addition to closely following the rigorous AERO Curriculum guidelines and the Common Core standards issued by the United States Department of Education, the school also adopted internationally recognized curriculum programs such as the University of Chicago Everyday Math, Discovery Works for Science, MIT Scratch for Coding/Programming, and a balanced approach to literacy with materials from Scholastic.

While the school places a strong emphasis on what really matters – the rigorous academic program – they also pay special attention to the social-emotional needs of their students. A formal character development program using the acclaimed Second Steps framework has been embedded into the daily life of all students from Nursery to Grade 8 to help prepare them to become productive, caring, and creative global citizens. This character development program aims to promote positive behaviour, global awareness, tolerance of others, and above all else, kindness and empathy.
