XCL World Academy Opens New Early & Primary Years Campus in Singapore
New learning spaces advance XWA’s “Academy of the World” vision, integrating bilingual education and AI literacy from the earliest years.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 October 2025 – XCL World Academy (XWA), a leading international school in Singapore, has opened a new Early & Primary Years campus. Designed for children aged 18 months to 11 years, it nurtures globally minded, bilingual, and future-ready learners through inquiry-led education and thoughtful use of AI and technology.
The ceremony was officiated by Dr. Syed Harun Alhabsyi, and Ms. Lee Hui Ying, Members of Parliament for Nee Soon GRC, and Advisors to Nee Soon GRC Grassroots Organisations, as well as distinguished guests from various embassies, chambers of commerce, and the wider community. Also in attendance were XWA’s educators, students, and families to celebrate this momentous occasion.
“We at XWA interpret education as a pathway to lifelong learning, beyond exams and we prioritise education that equips students for life, not just academic tests,” said Head of School, Tammy Murphy. “This new campus encourages young learners to explore ideas, use technology creatively, and connect what they learn to the world around them”, added Tammy.
Positioned as Singapore’s Academy of the World, XWA embeds AI literacy, bilingual pathways, and future-ready competencies from the earliest years through an inquiry-based IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the school’s signature XCLerate framework. XCLerate integrates six pillars – Creative Arts, Global Citizenship, Student Leadership, Community Action Service, Entrepreneurship & Financial Literacy, and Digital Literacy – to develop confident, adaptable learners.
From as early as four, students begin developing foundational digital and problem-solving skills through the XCLerate framework. This framework teaches them how to ask good questions, think critically, and explore how technology can be used creatively and responsibly. These early experiences lay the groundwork for more advanced, future-focused learning as they progress through their grades.
Complementing this is XWA’s bilingual programme (English-Chinese), where two native-speaking teachers co-teach each class – one in English and one in Chinese – to build fluency and confidence in both languages. Students also have access to language acquisition programmes and home language options in French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, supporting a multicultural environment that strengthens communication, cultural understanding, and creative thinking to ensure students build both human and technical skills to thrive in a digital-first world.
Singapore continues to strengthen its position as a global hub for education and innovation. Schools across the nation, including international ones like XWA, play an important role in translating national ambitions into everyday learning. Reflecting this momentum, XWA’s approach to early learning combines technology, bilingual learning, and human-centred values to help children navigate an increasingly digital-first world.
Speaking at the event, Dr Syed Harun said “Education today is not merely a transference of knowledge, but also about developing values like resilience, empathy, and social acumen with both our peers and the community around us. In doing so, it prepares children for a world that brings diversity, variety, and change. International schools like XWA add to the richness of Singapore’s educational landscape and tapestry, bringing global perspectives while engaging the local community here at Nee Soon.”
Ms Lee Hui Ying added “Strong families and supportive communities give our children the confidence to thrive. This new campus reflects how future-ready learning, together with inclusive bilingual education and genuine care for each child can lay strong foundations for lifelong growth. Schools such as XWA play an important role in nurturing our young learners, bringing families and the Nee Soon community closer together.”
Tammy added “We want our students to grow into leaders who use innovation to make life better for others. Whether they’re four or fourteen, our goal is to help them approach technology, and the world around them, with curiosity, responsibility, and compassion, and to see innovation as a way to make a difference.”
The campus also includes dedicated spaces for arts, design, science, and well-being, alongside outdoor learning environments, a multi-purpose gymnasium, an Innovation Hub and a dedicated eSports arena – among the first of its kind in an international school in Singapore – designed to foster teamwork, strategy, and digital literacy through play. Together these spaces, including the dedicated science labs for Early and Primary Years, ensure every child’s growth is supported academically, creatively, and emotionally.
During the opening, guests celebrated the opening with student showcases in the arts, music, dance and service, exemplifying how the XCLerate programme connects learning with real-world impact. The new facilities mark XWA’s continued commitment to developing confident, empathetic, and future-ready global citizens ready to lead change.

AECOM supports CEDD and AFCD of HKSAR Government in launching Hong Kong’s first comprehensive nature-based solutions guidelines to advance sustainable urban development
Developed through multidisciplinary expertise in ecology, landscape architecture, engineering, climate resilience and urban planning, the HKNbSDG provides a practical blueprint for designing, implementing, sustainably managing, and evaluating NbS across diverse environmental contexts — from rivers and wetlands to coastlines and high-density urban districts.
Factoring in the characteristics of Hong Kong’s natural ecology and urban development, the HKNbSDG is built on three core principles that outline a holistic approach to promoting ecosystem diversity at multiple scales, embracing human-nature coexistence for mutual benefits, and improving resilience through NbS. It also includes a performance evaluation framework to support evidence-based decision-making and features local case studies, including Long Valley Nature Park and Tung Chung East Eco-shoreline.
“The HKNbSDG reflects our commitment to advancing nature‑positive design and supporting Hong Kong’s journey toward climate resilience and sustainable growth,” said Dr. Johnny Cheuk, senior vice president and Hong Kong executive leader at AECOM. “By integrating ecological science into design practice, we aim to empower practitioners to harness nature’s potential in building climate-resilient infrastructure.”
The HKNbSDG was officially launched at the Promulgation Ceremony held on March 3, 2026, at Long Valley Nature Park. The event was officiated by Miss. Diane Wong Shuk-han, JP, Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology; Mr. David Lam Chi-man, JP, Under Secretary for Development; Mr. Charles Karangwa, Global Head of Nature-based Solutions Centre of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); Ir Michael Fong Hok-shing, JP, Director of Civil Engineering and Development; and Mr. Mickey Lai Kin-ming, JP, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation.
The ceremony featured an introduction to the HKNbSDG by Stephen Suen, director of landscape architecture at AECOM, followed by a panel discussion on building cross-sector partnerships to reverse nature and biodiversity loss through NbS.
Panelists included:
- Mr. Charles Karangwa, Global Head, Nature-based Solutions Centre, IUCN
- Ir. Michael Fong Hok‑shing, JP, Director of Civil Engineering and Development
- Mr. Mickey Lai Kin Ming, JP, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation
- Ms. Frances Chen, Director, Sustainability & Climate Change, North Asia, HSBC
- Mr. Benny Au, Senior Manager, Sustainable Development, Swire Properties Limited
The release of the HKNbSDG supports Hong Kong’s key policy commitments, including the Climate Action Plan 2050 and its biodiversity conservation targets, by providing a practical roadmap for enhancing urban resilience and expanding green infrastructure. This publication equips practitioners with essential tools — from integrating ecology into early planning to designing for multifunctional benefits — grounded in Hong Kong-specific experience. It also serves as a central resource for advancing the Northern Metropolis development strategy, where NbS is helping to drive urban-rural integration and foster the co-existence of urban development and ecological conservation.
The HKNbSDG forms part of AECOM’s broader mission to help cities adapt to climate risks while enhancing quality of life. By bringing together global best practices and local ecological insights, AECOM aims to strengthen industry-wide capability in implementing NbS at scale.
