Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) (simplified Chinese: 华侨中学; traditional Chinese: 華僑中學; pinyin: Huáqiáo Zhōngxué; Wade–Giles: Hua2ch'iao2 Chung1hsüeh2; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hoâ-kiâu Tiong-o̍h) is an independent school in Singapore for students aged 13 to 18 covering both secondary and pre-university levels. A Ministry of Education-designated FutureSchool, it operates under the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) for bilingualism, and offers the Integrated Programme (IP) and the School Based Gifted Education Programme (SBGE).
Previously two separate but affiliated schools, The Chinese High School and Hwa Chong Junior College, Hwa Chong Institution was the result of a merger on 1 January 2005 with the introduction of the Integrated Programme along with Nanyang Girls' High School, providing a six-year "through-train" education leading to the GCE Advanced Level examination. In spite of the merger, the high school section remains boys-only, while the college section is co-educational, which admit students from Nanyang Girls' High School under the Integrated Programme. Approximately 4000 students are enrolled in the school; the student-teacher ratio ranges from 13:1 to 35:1, depending on the class. Hwa Chong has been a top feeder school for international students to Oxford University. The school is a member of Strategic Alliance of Global Educators and Strategic Educational Alliance of Southeast Asia.
