Through the years, Hwa Chong Institution has nurtured leaders for the nation in the highest echelons of research, industry and government. Our aim is to maximise every student’s potential, and to prepare them for a lifetime of achievement.
Founded in 1919 by Mr Tan Kah Kee, The Chinese High School was established to cater to the needs of overseas Chinese primary school leavers in South-east Asia.
Today, it is one of the finest educational institutions for high-achievers and the gifted in the region. Its reputation as a premier school is based not only on the academic excellence of the students but also their determination to excel in all other areas like leadership, sports and games, co-curricular activities, science research, and service to the community.
The Chinese High School has been a school of choice amongst the best and the brightest. Every year it attracts the top 3% of the national PSLE cohort and the top 1% that forms the Gifted Education Programme.
This is not confined to only the high achieving students from Singapore but also those from countries like Malaysia and China. With the merger in 2005, The Chinese High School now forms the High School Section of Hwa Chong Institution.
Hwa Chong Junior College is Singapore`s first government-aided junior college (JC) to be established in 1974. More than 3 decades later, the College remains committed to offering students an unrivalled holistic education.
In 2004, Hwa Chong became the nation`s first JC to turn independent. The College was ranked 1st for the last 4 years of the Junior College Ranking Exercise, based on the university point system.
