1990年，华中成为推出华文语文特选课程（语特）的两所学校之一。语特旨在培养具有跨文化和批判性思维技能、能对中华文化有深入了解的双语人才。通过戏剧和差异化教学，以及个性化和线上写作学习，华中语特生将有机会参与一系列活动，包括工作坊、学习之旅、研究和出版刊物，使他们能对语言和文学有更深入的了解。他们带着美好的回忆毕业，并到中国、英国、美国、日本和澳大利亚的顶尖大学进修。许多语特毕业生现已在教育、文化、传媒、司法、外交、金融和经济领域担任要职。

In 1990, Hwa Chong Institution (College) became one of two schools in Singapore to introduce the Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP). The CLEP aims to nurture bilingual talents with cross-cultural and critical thinking skills, and a deep appreciation of the Chinese cultural heritage. Through drama-based and differentiated teaching, along with personalised and collaborative online learning, Hwa Chong CLEP students will have the opportunity to participate in a series of activities, including workshops, learning journeys, research and publications, thus enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of language and literature. Having gone on to pursue their studies at prestigious universities in China, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and Australia, many CLEP graduates are now serving pivotal roles in the fields of education, culture, media, judiciary, diplomacy, finance and economics, as well as politics.
