The school's Bilingual Department will open next year, providing China's nine-year compulsory education to Guangzhou residents. Mandarin will be the primary teaching language, which will be supplemented by English teaching elements.

The International Department will open to children of foreign expats by 2022, and offer international baccalaureate (IB) courses spanning from primary school to senior high school. Singapore's IB curriculum teaching methods will be adapted to local students' learning conditions.

Hwa Chong International School will send three officials to assume office in Huangpu for at least two years. The teachers may also be assigned to each other's schools for short-term exchanges, while students may have one-month cultural exchanges during holiday periods.
