IB MYP: 중등 과정
11세 - 16세

중등 과정: 6학년부터 AI 및 로봇 공학 통합

11세~16세 학생들을 위해 저희는 지적, 신체적, 정서적 성장을 지원하는 IB MYP를 제공합니다. 이 교육과정은 학문적 엄격함, 전 학년에 걸친 AI 리터러시, 그리고 강력한 예술, 음악, 스포츠 프로그램을 결합하여 전인적이고 균형 잡힌 학습을 제공하며, 10학년에는 MYP 수료증을 취득할 수 있는 선택권이 있습니다. 학생들은 개념적 이해를 구축하고 학습을 실제 세계와 연결합니다.

저희 중등 과정이 특별한 이유

글로벌 리더들과 함께 구축된 AI 학습

싱가포르 최초로 IB MYP 내에 AI와 기술을 통합하며, MIT, 스탠포드, 하버드, 카네기 멜론, NYU의 연구원들과 협력하여 프로그램을 개발했습니다.

균형 잡힌 접근 방식의 전인적 교육과정

언어, 과학, 수학을 포함한 다양한 교과군에 걸친 8개 과목과 예술 분야 내 선택 과목 로테이션.

지정된 교실 내 EAL 지원

또래들과 함께 이해력을 강화하고 자신감을 키울 수 있도록 지정된 교실 내에서 제공되는 맞춤형 영어 언어 지원

Foundational English Programme (FEP)

Targeted English support that helps students progress from early proficiency to IB Diploma readiness.

University Guidance From Grade 8

Dedicated university counselling starts in Grade 8, giving students more time to plan their senior school pathway

The MYP Approach

Learning is inquiry-based and project-based. Students explore shared concepts across subjects, such as how mathematics applies to design, how science raises ethical questions, and how language shapes understanding.

They develop conceptual understanding through projects like the Grade 6 AI capstone and Grade 7 robotics builds, gaining agency over their learning while teachers ensure depth across disciplines.

Eight Subject Groups With Equal Time for Each

The IB Middle Years Programme organises learning into eight subject groups. Students at XWA study all of them through Grade 10. In many national school systems, students are required to drop subjects like arts, design, or humanities as early as age 11. At XWA, those doors stay open as strengths develop.

Subject Groups

Language A

English, Japanese, or Chinese. Students develop their mother tongue while building academic English. For students in the Foundation English Programme, Language A learning is integrated through FEP.

Language Acquisition

Modern foreign languages: Mandarin,  French, Spanish, or English as an Additional Language (EAL).

Mathematics

IB MYP-aligned mathematics developing problem-solving and abstract reasoning.

Sciences

Combined sciences taught through inquiry, helping students build subject knowledge alongside academic language.

Individuals and Societies

Humanities exploring history, geography, economics, and how societies function.

Design

Design and technology through practical projects that require students to identify problems, prototype solutions, and refine their thinking.

Arts

Media Arts, Music, Theatre Arts, and Visual Arts with specialist teachers.

Physical and Health Education

Sport, fitness, nutruition and character development, covering personal, social, and health education.

Beyond the Classroom

Education extends beyond scheduled classes. Middle Years students participate in:

Beyond the Classroom
Experience What it involves
Capstone AI projects (Grade 6) Year-end projects demonstrating AI skills learned through the SureStart programme
Robotics and AI creative projects (Grade 7) Projects from the 30-week Creative Explorations course
Week Without Walls Expeditions Experiential learning trips outside Singapore
Community service programmes Service projects connecting learning to real-world impact, aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG)s
Exhibitions and showcases Student-led presentations of learning and projects
Competitions, Challenges, and Global Platforms A wide range of interschool and intraschool opportunities including F1 challenges, spelling bees, Science Bowl, Math Olympiads, Model United Nations, and World Scholar’s Cup, giving students platforms to compete, collaborate, and excel

 

A strong sense of community at XCL is shaped by our Student Council, House Leaders, Student Ambassadors, and Mentors, who actively lead, support, and connect the student body

Every Student Known and Supported

The transition from childhood to adolescence brings academic pressure, social complexity, and questions about identity. Students are supported strong pastoral team so concerns are noticed early and followed up consistently.

Every student has an Advisory teacher as a daily point of contact, a Head of Grade for academic and social guidance, a Dean of Student Life for broader wellbeing oversight, and access to a dedicated socio-emotional counsellor. Push in language support is provided and every student has one PSHE lesson built into their timetable each week. University counselling starts in Grade 8, giving students more time to plan their senior school pathway.

Wellbeing That Supports Every Student

Student wellbeing is central to how students learn, grow, and thrive. We help students build the skills to manage workload, develop positive relationships, and handle challenges in a healthy, constructive way, supported by a consistent and personalised care system that recognises each student’s needs.


Through regular Komodo surveys, we gain real insight into how students are feeling. This allows us to respond early, tailor support, and guide each student’s development. Students also build self awareness, learning to make positive choices and seek support when needed.

Skills Students Develop

By the end of Grade 10, students typically have stronger capability in:

Key Skills
Skill Area What learners gain
English proficiency Reading, writing, listening, and speaking across academic and social contexts
AI and coding literacy Understanding how AI systems work, alongside practical coding skills and app development
Robotics and computational thinking Technical creativity, problem-solving through building, understanding of human-robot interaction
Critical thinking and ethical reasoning Ability to analyse arguments, question assumptions, consider ethical implications
Leadership and collaboration Working in teams, managing projects, taking initiative
Cross-cultural competency Understanding different perspectives and communicating across cultures, within a community of more than 50 nationalities
Resilience and self-management Managing deadlines, preparing for exams, and handling the social changes of adolescence

Middle Years Programme: Through The Years

6학년부터 핵심 교육과정에 통합된 AI 및 로봇 공학

AI는 이미 학생들이 정보를 연구하고, 작성하고, 생성하고, 평가하는 방식을 형성하고 있습니다. 이러한 도구가 어떻게 작동하는지, 그리고 책임감 있게 사용하는 방법을 가르치는 것은 학생들이 더 나은 판단력과 강력한 사고 습관을 개발하는 데 도움이 됩니다. XWA는 싱가포르 최초로 IB MYP 교육과정에 AI 리터러시와 로봇 공학을 통합한 국제 학교입니다. 6학년과 7학년은 실습 프로젝트와 책임감 있는 사용에 대한 명시적인 교육을 포함하는 체계적인 AI 및 로봇 공학 학습을 제공합니다.

Get answers to the most common questions from prospective parents about our school.

What grades does the Middle Years Programme cover?

Grades 6-10, for students aged 11-16. The programme follows the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) framework.

What languages can my child study?

Students choose from two language pathways. For Language A (their strongest or home language), the options are English, Japanese, or Chinese. For Language Acquisition, students choose from Mandarin, French, Spanish, or English as an Additional Language.

How is AI taught at XWA?

XWA embeds AI literacy and robotics into the MYP core curriculum. Every student in Grades 6-7 completes structured, year-long programmes. Grade 6 students work through the SureStart AI Programme with university-backed mentorship. Grade 7 students complete Creative Explorations with Robotics + AI, a 30-week course guided by Dr. Safinah Ali.

What pathways are available after Grade 10?

Three options: the IB Diploma Programme, the High School Diploma with Advanced Placement (AP) courses, or a combination. The MYP's emphasis on inquiry, interdisciplinary thinking, and student agency prepares students for whichever pathway fits their strengths and goals.

What activities are available beyond the classroom?

Middle Years students take part in capstone AI projects in Grade 6, robotics and AI creative projects in Grade 7, Week Without Walls expeditions, and community service programmes aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (the global framework for addressing challenges in climate, health, and inequality). Students also participate in exhibitions and showcases, spelling bees, and competitions including the World Scholar's Cup, Model United Nations, the National Mathematics Competition, and the Physics Bowl.

What is the MYP Certificate?

Students in Grade 10 can complete MYP eAssessments to earn the full MYP Certificate, issued and authorised by the International Baccalaureate. This provides official recognition of MYP achievement and strengthens senior school and university applications. 

What support is available for student wellbeing?

Every student is supported by a homeroom teacher (daily contact), Head of Grade (academic and social guidance), Dean of Student Life (broader wellbeing), and a dedicated Socio-Emotional School Counsellor. Students also receive one PSHE lesson per week.
