Programme Overview

The Arts Programme starts in the Nursery Years with a fully immersive approach and runs through the Primary and Secondary Years Programme. Students have opportunities to exhibit and develop their collaboration and performance techniques within small and large group settings.

While we believe it is essential for students to complete study across the three Arts subjects, and aim to ensure that our students develop strong foundations in Visual Arts, Music and Theatre by increasing the amount of time spent on each Arts subject.

In Grades 6, 7 and 8, the Arts subjects are offered on an elective rotation. Students study two different Arts subjects per year (one subject per semester). Each semester, they have an opportunity to explore different Arts subjects, build a strong foundation in their preferred art medium, and develop their creative and analytical skills.

From Grade 9 onwards, the Arts subjects are offered as elective courses. Students will specialise in one Arts subject for the whole duration of their studies in Grades 9 and 10, based on their personal strengths and interests. The programme is designed to prepare students for overall success at the Diploma level through using concepts and contexts, developing creativity, subject-specific skills and ATL skills.

Students have opportunities to exhibit and implement their collaboration and performance techniques within small and large group settings.

Visual Arts

Visual Arts is a powerful mode of communication through which your child will explore and construct a sense of self, and develop an understanding of the world around them. Students will be stimulated to think and articulate their thoughts in new ways and through a variety of media and technologies.

The Visual Arts programme at XCL World Academy is a study of art media, techniques, artists, art history and art appreciation, as well as related techniques and theories.

Music

Music empowers students to explore and excel in their creative abilities and communicate in ways that go beyond their oral language abilities. Students will develop a lifelong appreciation of music and an enthusiasm for learning, all in a nurturing environment with supportive teachers.

The music programme at XCL World Academy includes classifying and analysing sounds, composing, exploring body music, reading music, learning and playing instruments, as well as singing, songwriting, performing and recording their creations.

Theatre

Theatre has a unique ability to help students develop confidence, public speaking skills and unlock their full potential, which has a significant impact on all aspects of their life.

The Theatre Programme at XCL World Academy hones your child’s basic skills in the performing arts and creative dramatics. Students learn how to refine their communication and performance skills, gain a deeper understanding of the history and practice of theatre and investigate how theatre arts can be used as a catalyst for social change and reflection.
