Vision

Empowering our students to Live with Passion and Lead with Compassion.

Mission

We nurture leaders in Research, Industry and Government to serve our nation.

Philosophy

Hwa Chong Institution's (HCI) mission is to nurture leaders for the nation: leaders with a heart to serve the community. To date, HCI has produced 56 President's Scholars. Indeed, Hwa Chong is more than a school that produces top scholars. We also want our students to embrace the values of hard work, integrity, passion, and compassion. All our students receive a sustained character education which encourages them to work with the community through local and global service-learning initiatives. At Hwa Chong, students approach life with passion. The school provides a caring environment that is intellectually stimulating, secure, and joyful. It offers a curiosity-driven 6-year Integrated Programme (IP). Drawing from the best of East and West, HCI has an extensive global network that links our students to leading universities and industry partners. Working closely with industry captains and professors, students are encouraged to pursue multidisciplinary interests. Each year, our students go on to leading institutions for their undergraduate study, with a strong entry to some of the world's best universities. All Hwa Chong students are also committed to serving society. Hwa Chong prides itself on grooming servant leaders who display civic responsibility and empathy. Annually, Hwa Chong students provide support and companionship to the underprivileged. Beyond offering assistance, many have partnered key welfare organisations to helm innovative Values-in-Action projects. As active contributors to civil society, Hwa Chong students have reached out to communities, both locally and overseas, through various student-led projects. These projects often mark the beginning of a long-term commitment of service to the community.
