Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Hwa Chong International School was established in 2005 as an extension of the Hwa Chong Institution, one of Singapore's oldest educational institutions with roots dating back to 1919. Initially focused on serving the local Singaporean community seeking international qualifications, HCIS has evolved to welcome students from diverse backgrounds worldwide.

Community

HCIS fosters a vibrant and diverse community, bringing together students from various cultural backgrounds. The school organizes numerous community and cultural events throughout the year, such as international days, cultural festivals, and community service initiatives, which promote cross-cultural understanding and community engagement. These activities provide students with opportunities to celebrate diversity, develop leadership skills, and contribute positively to society.

Parent-Teacher Association

At HCIS, the Parent Support Group (PSG) plays a pivotal role in strengthening the partnership between the school and families. The PSG offers parents a platform to connect, share experiences, and collaborate on school initiatives. Members of the PSG participate in organizing various events, such as workshops, family bonding activities, and cultural celebrations, enhancing the sense of community within the school. Engaging with the PSG allows parents to stay informed about school developments and actively participate in their children's educational journey.
