In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable global economy, success doesn’t just come from academic knowledge—it comes from knowing how to make smart decisions, manage money, solve complex problems, and think like an entrepreneur. These aren’t skills that students can afford to learn after graduation. They need to start now.

That’s why XCL World Academy in Singapore is reimagining what modern education should look like. More than just an international school, XCL is a future-focused learning community that gives students the tools to thrive in the real world—especially when it comes to business, finance, and financial literacy.

Why financial literacy matters—now more than ever

Whether a student wants to become a CEO, start their own company, or simply take charge of their financial future, understanding money is a foundational life skill. Yet financial literacy is still missing from many school curriculums worldwide.

At XCL World Academy, financial education is woven into the student journey—teaching children how to budget, invest, plan, and think critically about the global economy. From understanding the basics of personal finance to analysing world markets, students learn how to make informed, confident decisions that will serve them for life.

Business and finance in action

Learning about business and finance at XCL isn’t just theoretical—it’s hands-on, practical, and real-world. Students don’t just read about entrepreneurs or global markets. They become part of them.

Through business simulations, enterprise challenges, sustainability projects, and finance-focused coursework, students are given real opportunities to create business plans, manage budgets, pitch ideas, and lead innovation. They explore concepts like:

• Supply and demand
  
  
• Cost-benefit analysis
  
  
• Cryptocurrency and digital finance
  
  
• Social entrepreneurship
  
  
• Sustainable business models
  
  

These experiences help students connect what they’re learning in the classroom to the world they’ll be stepping into as adults—and they do it with confidence and creativity.

The IB Career-related Programme (CP): A direct path to the business world

For students ready to take their interest in business and finance to the next level, XCL World Academy offers the IB Career-related Programme (CP)—a unique pathway designed for future entrepreneurs, business leaders, and finance professionals.

Combining academic rigour with hands-on, career-focused learning, the CP allows students to dive deep into real-world business practices while building transferable skills that employers value. CP students benefit from industry-relevant coursework, internships, and professional mentorship—giving them a head start in both university and the workplace.

It’s a perfect choice for students who want a practical, global, and business-savvy education.
