Chong Hwa National Type Secondary School (吉隆坡中华国民型华文中学) is a Chinese vernacular secondary school located at Jalan Gombak, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur. History School History Starting humbly with three rented double stories building in Jalan Genting Klang of Kuala Lumpur, the school was founded in 1919. With increasing numbers of students, the Board of Directors raised funds to purchase the property land where the Chong Hwa Primary School is situated today. In 1922, the new campus was set with only four classrooms, an office and a library. To accommodate the increasing number of students, a two-story brick building was built in 1938 and in the year of 1939, the first coeducation school was established and officially named as Selangor Chinese Primary & Secondary School.
