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.

Inside the XCLerate Future Skills Programme

XCLerate® follows a consistent inquiry cycle across all grades: tuning in, investigation, action, and reflection.

Students begin by activating curiosity, then research and explore ideas before creating real-world outcomes. Reflection helps them evaluate their learning, improve their work, and build confidence as independent thinkers.

As students progress, they take on increasing complexity and independence, moving from guided exploration to purposeful innovation and community-connected action.

Learning Through Doing

XCLerate® gives students opportunities to apply learning beyond theory. Through design thinking, innovation, technology, entrepreneurship, service, and creative expression, students work on real challenges for real audiences.

The programme is aligned with the IB PYP, ISTE standards, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring learning is rigorous, relevant, and connected to real-world impact.

By the end of the programme, students become innovative thinkers, confident communicators, collaborative leaders, digitally and AI literate learners, entrepreneurial problem-solvers, globally minded citizens, and resilient reflective learners.

AI & Technology, Built Progressively

Technology use is developmentally appropriate, beginning with hands-on and unplugged experiences in the early years before progressing to guided digital tools and AI-supported learning in upper primary.

FAQs

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

Is XCLerate just a computer class?

No. Technology is part of XCLerate, but it is not the whole programme. Students also work on creative projects, community action, entrepreneurship, and leadership, with technology used where it adds value rather than treated as the goal in itself.

My child is not particularly tech-savvy. Will they struggle?

Every lesson is scaffolded from the ground up with visual guides and support materials. EAL-adapted versions are available, and EAL specialists co-teach selected sessions. Some of the most confident XCLerate students started with no prior technology experience at all.

How do you handle AI safety and online ethics?

Digital citizenship and AI ethics are built into the programme from KG2. Students learn about online privacy, how to evaluate sources, and the difference between useful and irresponsible AI use. Only Microsoft Copilot is used from Grade 3 onwards. No other AI chat tools are used, and all usage is age-appropriate and supervised.

Does XCLerate support students who are still developing their English?

Yes. All lesson materials are available in EAL-adapted versions. EAL teachers attend selected sessions and can explain more complex concepts in a student's home language where needed. The programme's design thinking and creative tools also give students ways to express themselves beyond written English.

How much screen time does XCLerate involve?

Sessions run for 45 minutes. Screen time within that typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, and it is always active: students are coding, designing, or creating.

Will XCLerate take time away from core academics?

XCLerate sessions replace part of the Units of Inquiry block. They do not add to it. The programme is designed to deepen the same concepts students are already exploring in class, so the learning reinforces rather than competes.

What happens at the end of the year?

In Term 4, students present an Exhibition-style culminating project linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals to an audience of parents, teachers, and community partners. This prepares students for the formal IB PYP Exhibition in Grade 5 and gives every child a portfolio entry and a presentation they can point to at the end of the year.

How will I know how my child is progressing?

Students build digital portfolios throughout the year, documenting their learning across all five pillars. These portfolios are shared with families at portfolio conferences attended by the student, their teacher, and parents together.

Does XCLerate prepare students for secondary school?

The programme is designed to build the skills students need for the IB Middle Years Programme, particularly in MYP Design and interdisciplinary learning. The design thinking methodology, independent research habits, and technology literacy developed in XCLerate are precisely what MYP Design and interdisciplinary units demand from day one.
