About Hwa Chong

Hwa Chong Institution, founded in 1919 by businessman - philanthropist Mr Tan Kah Kee, has grown into a highly distinguished institution that gathers the best and brightest in the region. Its reputation as one of the country’s finest institutions of higher education is based not only on the academic prowess that Hwa Chong Institution exhibits annually, but also the all-rounded excellence of its students, in holistic sectors such as leadership, co-curricular activities, service and research.
