Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to the 2026 Academic School Year!

Warmest greetings as we embark on another promising and vibrant school year together.

We enter 2026 with a sense of renewed hope and a commitment to the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. In HCIS, we embrace adventures and create opportunities for every student to thrive while value-adding to their education and school experience. We are steadfast in our mission to empower all HCIS learners with character and global competency to be individuals of impact.

I am incredibly proud to share the outstanding achievement of our 2025 cohort of International Baccalaureate (IB) graduates. Their hard work and commitment have yielded truly exceptional results, achieving an impressive average score of 38 points. 55.4% of the cohort earned 38 points or higher, with as many as 44% surpassing the 40-point threshold. While these exemplary results pave the way for admission to top-tier global universities, they also highlight the success of HCIS’s value-add approach to every student’s academic and holistic development. True to our School Philosophy of “Education for All, According to Each”, we focus on the individual progress of every student. In addition, these milestones are a testament to the tireless dedication of our teachers and the unwavering support of the parents.

Principal's Welcome

As we enter this new year, I wish to extend my deepest appreciation for the firm devotion and strength demonstrated by our entire community over the last year. The capacity to persevere and flourish, regardless of the circumstances, is what truly defines the core strength of HCIS.

2026 will be another exciting year of opportunities – fresh potential, new avenues for personal development, and the promise of what we can achieve together. Our students are strongly encouraged to fully immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of academic and co-curricular offerings. Rather than focusing solely on academic attainment, they should also pursue their curiosities and discover what truly inspires and motivates them. By approaching the learning journey with a growth mindset, they will find themselves empowered to leave a meaningful mark on the community and the wider world in the future.

We look forward to strong partnership with parents. Your active participation in your child’s educational journey is the cornerstone of their success and holistic well-being. We believe that when you are deeply engaged in their schooling, it does more than just improve grades — it nurtures a profound parent-child bond built on a foundation of open communication, trust, and mutual respect. Furthermore, a robust alliance between home and school is vital in fostering a vibrant and positive school culture.

Our achievements are never reached in isolation, but through the powerful synergy of our entire HCIS community. It is the collaboration between inspired students, dedicated educators, and supportive parents that forms the bedrock of our success.

By standing together as partners in excellence, we create an environment where every dream has the space to take flight. Therefore we move forward with a shared vision and a collective will to bring HCIS to even greater heights of distinction.

Wishing you all a magnificent school year ahead!

Principal of Hwa Chong International School
