About Hwa Chong International School

Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) occupies a unique position in Singapore's education landscape — it is the international arm of the legendary Hwa Chong Institution, one of Singapore's most academically prestigious local schools with a heritage stretching back to 1919. This connection gives HCIS access to exceptional academic resources, experienced faculty, and a culture of intellectual rigour that is deeply embedded in the institution's DNA.

The school is secondary-only, accepting students from age 12 through to 18, and offers the Cambridge IGCSE followed by the IB Diploma Programme. Class sizes are deliberately small, and the academic standards are demanding — HCIS attracts highly motivated students and families who prioritise scholarly achievement. IB Diploma results are consistently strong, with average scores well above the world average, and graduates regularly gain admission to top universities in Singapore, the UK, US, and China.

Located on Bukit Timah Road in the heart of Singapore's most prestigious school belt, HCIS also offers boarding facilities — one of a small number of Singapore international schools to do so. The boarding programme attracts students from across Southeast Asia and further afield who wish to experience a Singapore education with the support of a structured residential community. For families who value academic excellence, Chinese heritage, and a selective school environment, HCIS is an outstanding choice.
