Hwa Chong International School

Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) is a member of the prestigious Hwa Chong family of schools. Founded in 2005, it offers a unique blend of a traditional Chinese educational ethos with a modern international curriculum. While it is an international school, it maintains a strong focus on Asian values and heritage, making it a popular choice for both local and expatriate families who value discipline and academic rigor.

HCIS offers a six-year integrated program leading to the IB Diploma, with IGCSE offered in the fourth year as a diagnostic foundation. The school is consistently one of the top-performing IB schools in Singapore, with several students achieving perfect scores of 45 each year. The curriculum is demanding, but it is supported by a robust pastoral care system and a wide range of co-curricular activities.

Located on a large, historic campus in Bukit Timah, HCIS shares many facilities with Hwa Chong Institution. It is one of the few international schools in Singapore to offer boarding facilities, which are highly sought after by international students from around the region. The school's mission is to develop 'independent learners and compassionate leaders.'
