of course HCI has been emphasizing that they are not a chinese school - that we know. HCI is also strong in the humanities, bi-cultural program ...... so where is the difference ?
someone told me HCI focus a lot on character building, consensus building, humility, group before self.......and RI has a lot on rhetoric argument, robust debate (HCI is lacking in this or not?).....and of course no higher chinese
so what else ? -

Well, of course not. HCI has recently added something called Current affairs, or rather, expanded it from the sec 3 CSE to the lower sec, which allows the students to role play and debate about a particular topic.vlim:

so u are saying not to worry if my ds don't like Chinese as eventually he will build up his interest in HCI? :?
Yes! Of course. Many parents have the aim of doing so! And furthermore HCI is less individualistic and it's more homely. -

from ri website, students can take either HCL or CL. I think one of the difference is the special programmes offered in the JC level..vlim:

Passing both Eng and HCL is a must at HCI as part of the promotional criteria every year while I understand from my frend's son it need not be so for HCL at RI or NUSH. Anyone here know otherwise? This \"hash\" criteria about HCL at HCI might have scared some students away.

Don't worry. HCI is a SAP school, which means that you take both of the subjects as 1st language. They not going to side towards Chinese/abandon English, they even adopted the Language arts syllabus for English.
I'm from HCI and my classmates' Chinese really suck. When I mean suck, i mean really suck. However, at the end of the year (take the seniors as examples) their chinese become really good and they get enthusiastic in it.
Oh, and HCI is larger than RI although it's building structure is a bit

Well, I got one, and I'm in HCI. My chinese wasn't that fantastic - I used to be ranked the 10th for Chinese in my primary school and yet I can get a distinction. -
