Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) (Chinese: 华中国际学校; pinyin: Huá Zhōng Guójì Xuéxiào), a co-educational international school in Singapore that offers high school education. It is an affiliated school of Hwa Chong Institution catering to both local and international students.
Founded in 2005, Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) is part of the Hwa Chong family of schools. As a local international school, half of the students are Singaporeans or Permanent Residents, a requirement of the Ministry of Education (Singapore). The rest of the student body comprises international students from over 20 countries. Over the years, the school has distinguished itself as a highly sought after school. Students under the guidance of the school have achieved much, whether in accolades in competitions at both the local and international arenas, or scholastic achievements and admission to well-known universities.
After 7 batches of IBDP students, HCIS finally obtained the coveted perfect score in the 2016 International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations – the 45 point. For the Class of 2016, it was not just one student but two at one go. HCIS students Yeap Yee Sing (Singaporean) and Lim Hui Yuan (Bruneian)both scored a perfect score of 45 points - the first two students at the school to achieve this.
