HWA CHONG INSTITUTION

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL Independent schools have the flexibility to set their own fees and develop their academic and non-academic programmes. While most independent schools offer the national curriculum leading to the GCE national examinations, two independent schools offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
SAP Some government-aided schools are also Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools that are committed to nurturing bilingual and bicultural students who are immersed in the Chinese language and culture, yet equipped with a global outlook.
BOYS' SCHOOL
SINGLE SESSION
SCHOOL WITH INTEGRATED PROGRAMME The Integrated Programme (IP) is a scheme that allows high-performing students in secondary schools in Singapore to skip the GCE Ordinary Level (O-level) examination (typically taken by students at the end of their fourth or fifth year in secondary school) and proceed to sit for the GCE Advanced Level (A-level) examination, International Baccalaureate (IB), or an equivalent examination, after six years of secondary education. The A-level examination is typically taken by students at the end of their second or third year in junior college.

School Philosophy, Culture and Ethos

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.
