SureStart와 함께하는 AI 프로그램

싱가포르 최초의 체계적인 AI 리터러시 프로그램과 대학 지원 멘토십을 통해, 학생들은 IB 중등 과정 커리큘럼에 완전히 통합된 15주 과정을 이수합니다. 이들은 생성형 AI, 머신러닝, 앱 개발을 직접 경험하며, 하버드 교육 연구원과 88개의 특허를 보유한 AI 연구원의 지도를 받습니다.


자녀는 실제 문제를 해결하는 AI 기반 앱을 설계하고 크리에이톤 결승전에서 업계 심사위원들에게 발표하게 됩니다. 이들은 문제 식별, 혁신적인 솔루션 구축, 압박 속에서 성과를 내는 능력을 보여주는 뛰어난 포트폴리오 작품을 갖게 되며, 이는 대학에서 매우 중요하게 평가하는 기술입니다.

Key Learning

자녀는 AI를 책임감 있게 사용하는 방법을 배우면서 분석적 사고, 창의성, 적응력, 리더십을 개발합니다. 이러한 기술들은 실제 문제를 해결하는 프로젝트에서 발휘되며, 업계 전문가들의 피드백을 받습니다.

어떤 도구가 등장하든, 학습하는 방법 배우기

세계 경제 포럼(WEF)은 다음과 같이 추정합니다. 오늘날 초등학교에 입학하는 어린이의 65%는 아직 존재하지 않는 직업에서 일하게 될 것입니다.. 특정 직업은 알 수 없습니다. 하지만 그에 적응하는 데 필요한 기술은 그렇지 않습니다.

이 프로그램의 학생들은 AI를 신뢰하기 전에 질문하는 법을 배웁니다. 이들은 알고리즘이 어떻게 의사결정을 내리는지, 편향이 어디서 스며드는지, 그리고 문제가 발생했을 때 누가 책임지는지를 탐구합니다. 이들은 비판적인 시각을 개발하여 결과물을 의심하고, 편향을 발견하며, 한계를 이해하는 법을 배웁니다. 이러한 질문들이 그들의 직업 생활을 정의할 것입니다.

What Your Child Gains Over Time

Research shows that students in bilingual programmes often make strong gains in both language development and overall learning. In this programme, students not only learn two languages, but also learn through both languages—using them to think, communicate, and solve problems across subjects. This strong bilingual foundation prepares students well for the IB Middle Years Programme.  

By this stage, your child will have spent years reading, writing, discussing, and interpreting increasingly complex ideas across subjects in two languages, developing both academic proficiency and confidence.

FAQs

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

What age does AI learning start?

AI foundations begin in KG2 (age 4) through the XCLerate programme, where children develop computational thinking and coding basics. The SureStart programme runs in Grade 6. Grade 7 adds creative robotics.

Who teaches the programme?

Dr. Taniya Mishra (88 patents, recognised by Nasdaq) leads the curriculum.  Leonardo Neves (Harvard Teaching Fellow, Snap engineer) designs and develops the programme. XWA teachers are trained by SureStart.

Will this help with university applications?

Yes. SureStart graduates have secured internships at Amazon, Snap, Google, Microsoft, and Accenture. The programme also partners with MIT RAISE, Cornell Tech, and Carnegie Mellon, giving students exposure to leading AI research institutions.

Is this just kids using ChatGPT?

No. Students learn how AI systems work: the mechanics behind the interface, the way models are trained, where bias enters. The goal is critical understanding, not passive consumption.

What will my child actually produce?

In Grade 6, every student builds an AI-powered app addressing a real-world problem. They present it to industry judges at the Create-a-thon. In Grade 7, they build creative robotic systems. These are portfolio pieces.

Does AI learning replace other subjects?

No. The programme is integrated into the IB curriculum. In KG2 to Grade 5, XCLerate runs during Units of Inquiry. In Grades 6 and 7, AI and robotics complement the IB MYP framework.
