Small group classes so your child can ask questions, get feedback, and is never lost in the crowd
From P5 onwards, every class is structured around PSLE technique — not just content, but how to show working clearly and pick up method marks
Parents are kept in the loop on what was covered and where their child needs more practice — so you're never in the dark between sessions
The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Each weekly session builds directly on the last. Your child works through new concepts, revisits gaps, and practises exam-style questions — in a group small enough that the teacher actually knows them.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Ai Tong School?
Yes. All Singapore primary schools follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus, and our P1–P6 classes are built around that curriculum — the same topics, the same model-drawing and heuristics approach, and the same exam format your child sits at Ai Tong School.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Parents are kept informed on what was covered and where their child should focus. We also flag any persistent gaps as soon as we spot them — not just before exams.
When should my child start tuition?
There's no single right answer, but earlier is generally better. Gaps in foundational topics like fractions and ratios compound as children move through primary school. A free trial class is a good way to find out where your child actually stands.
What makes DeepThink different from other math tuition centres?
Small group classes, parents kept in the loop on progress, and a curriculum focused on the exact skills MOE examiners test — including how to structure solutions, not just whether the answer is correct.
School Overview
Ai Tong School was established on 12 October 1912 by the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan, originally serving children from Chinese immigrant families. The school began in a Methodist church on Boon Tat Street and has since grown into one of Singapore's longest-running Chinese-medium primary schools. It received Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status in 1990, reflecting its commitment to bilingual education in English and Chinese.
Key moments in the school's history include its transition to a co-educational model in 1950, a move to the current Bright Hill Drive campus in Bishan in 1992, and its centenary celebration in 2012, which featured a commemorative musical titled A Journey With Love. The school's name draws from two Confucian ideals — "Bo Ai" (universal love) and "Da Tong" (great harmony) — and its motto, "Sincerity and Perseverance," reflects a values-centred educational philosophy.
As an SAP school affiliated with the Hokkien Huay Kuan, Ai Tong offers the Bi-Cultural Chinese Elective Programme (BICEP) and runs twinning exchanges with partner schools in Suzhou, China, giving students cross-cultural experiences alongside their local curriculum.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Ai Tong follows the standard MOE primary school curriculum, covering English Language, Chinese Language, Mathematics, Science, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Students may also take Higher Chinese Language for advanced proficiency or Foundation-level subjects in English, Mathematics, Chinese, and Science, depending on individual learning needs.
The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP), known as iDARE @ ATS, focuses on innovation and enterprise. Through hands-on project work, students develop problem-solving and computational thinking skills — competencies that transfer directly to subjects like Mathematics and Science. Ai Tong students have performed well in national competitions, including mathematics olympiads and STEM challenges.
For families looking to supplement their child's mathematical development, DeepThink offers structured primary math programmes that align with the MOE syllabus and build on the kind of logical reasoning skills that schools like Ai Tong emphasise in their curriculum.
The school's Learning for Life Programme (LLP), branded as L.E.A.D., centres on character and leadership development through outdoor education. Together, the ALP and LLP form the school's distinctive programmes, complementing the core academic curriculum with experiential learning.
Admission Process
Admission to Ai Tong School at Primary 1 follows the Ministry of Education's standard registration framework, which proceeds through several phases:
Phase 1 is reserved for children whose siblings are currently enrolled at the school. Phase 2A covers children of alumni, staff, or those connected to the school's affiliated organisations. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who have connections to the Hokkien Huay Kuan. Phase 2C is the general registration phase, open to all Singapore citizen children who did not gain a place in earlier phases. If applications exceed vacancies in any phase, balloting is conducted, with priority given to children living within 1 km and then 2 km of the school.
Parents apply online through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated registration window each year. Historical balloting data and vacancy information are published on the MOE website.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Ai Tong's Bright Hill Drive campus includes classrooms equipped with interactive learning technology, science laboratories, a library, and outdoor play areas including a large playfield and covered walkways.
The school offers 18 co-curricular activities (CCAs) across four categories:
Sports and Games: Badminton, table tennis, track and field, volleyball, wushu, and artistic gymnastics.
Performing Arts: Choir, guzheng ensemble, Chinese dance, and Chinese percussion.
Uniformed Groups: Scouts (boys) and Brownies (girls), which develop leadership and teamwork skills.
Clubs and Societies: Robotics Club, Innovators' Club, Art and Crafts, and InfoComm Club. The Robotics and Innovators' clubs are particularly popular with students interested in coding, algorithmic thinking, and prototype design.
CCA participation is part of the school's approach to holistic development, and activities are available to students from Primary 1 through Primary 6.
Student Life and School Culture
Ai Tong's culture is shaped by its SAP identity and Confucian-influenced values. The school places strong emphasis on bilingualism and biculturalism, with Chinese language and cultural activities woven throughout the school year. Events tied to Chinese festivals, calligraphy programmes, and the BICEP enrichment track give students regular exposure to Chinese heritage and traditions.
The school's outdoor education programme under L.E.A.D. takes students beyond the classroom for team-building and character development. Combined with the values-driven curriculum, Ai Tong aims to develop students who are resilient, community-minded, and confident learners.
Notable alumni include actress Chantalle Ng. The school community also maintains active parent engagement through school events and volunteer opportunities, contributing to a close-knit environment that many families value.
