Hwa Chong Institution
FOCUS:
Courage, confidence, kindness
Since 1919, Hwa Chong has evolved into one of the most prestigious schools in Singapore. Fondly referred to as the ‘Eton of the East’, both local and expat children complete for places at this bilingual, bicultural school. Located on a vast campus in Bukat Timahand, the research-based Integrated Programme provides a rigorously academic six-year educational journey through to junior college, culminating in A Levels. With an eye to the West and East, HCI blends the best from its deeply rooted Chinese heritage with a modern, forward-looking education, emphasising leadership, character development, and critical thinking. Pupils are inspired to initiate their own learning projects with external partners such as Citibank and the local History museum. Outstanding academic results means graduates regularly secure places at Ivy League schools and Oxbridge.
