Hwa Chong Institution (Simplified Chinese: 华侨中学; Traditional Chinese: 華僑中學; Pinyin: Húaqīao Zhōngxúe) is a prestigious college offering education from a Secondary (High School) to Pre-University (Senior High) level in Singapore. Previously two separate but affiliated schools, The Chinese High School and Hwa Chong Junior College, the Institution was the result of a merger which was officiated on 1 January 2005.

The school offers a 6-year Integrated Programme from Secondary 1 to JC 2. The program will allow students to skip the GCE 'O' Levels, taking GCE 'A' Levels at the end of their six years in the school. This gives the students much more time to embark on various educational endeavours that will greatly benefit them. An example of this would be the Hwa Chong Sabbaticals, which allows students to spend one of the last weeks each term undergoing programmes which allow them to develop their interests, such as music composition as well as camps and fieldtrips abroad. 90% of students who graduate from Hwa Chong Institution and complete their 'A' levels then go on to attend university, in Singapore and abroad.
