Choon Tan's Company Details
THE MISSION OF HWA CHONG INSTITUTION (HCI) is to develop leaders for the nation. The institution is the culmination of the watershed merger between the former Chinese High School (founded in 1919) and Hwa Chong Junior College (founded in 1974) in 2005.\\With the merger, the Institution became a mega school with a total student population of about 4,300. The combined staff strength has exceeded 500, approximately three times that of a typical government secondary school.\\Over 80% of the school's close to 400 teachers hold advanced degrees (Honours or higher). About 35 staff members have PhDs, or are pursuing doctoral studies.\\Teachers are at the centre of everything we want to achieve in Hwa Chong.\\A premier independent school in Singapore with a rich history of 95 years, HCI has produced 53 President's Scholars to date.\\Indeed, Hwa Chong is more than a school that produces top scholars. We also want to empower our high ability students to achieve their potential and live their aspirations, while embracing the values of hard work, integrity, passion, and compassion.\\Hwa Chong is the first independent school to set up a Beijing Campus and pioneer the FutureSchools@Singapore. We are indeed entering an era where opportunities have never been greater.\ \Our aim is to deliver a system of education that will meet the needs of a new generation of Singaporeans, and equip our students with the skills and insights they need to thrive in this new, global age.
