How DeepThink supports Alexandra Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Alexandra Primary School
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 Alexandra Primary 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 Alexandra Primary 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
Alexandra Primary School (APS) was founded in 2013 and welcomed its inaugural cohort of 210 Primary 1 pupils, distributed across seven classes — each named after one of the school's HER³OIC values: Harmony, Empathy, Resilience, Respect, Responsibility, Optimism, Integrity, and Creativity. Construction of the campus began in 2011, with the official opening ceremony taking place in 2016. APS is a co-educational, single-session government primary school that offers Chinese, Malay, and Tamil as Mother Tongue languages.
The school operates under the belief that every child matters, is unique, and has potential. Its curriculum centres on building strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and 21st-century competencies within a caring and supportive learning environment. Two signature programmes anchor the school's identity: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM — Material Science, which gives students hands-on exposure to scientific concepts through experimentation, and the STREAM initiative (Eco-Science, Technologies, Robotics, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), which weaves together design thinking, robotics, and mathematical reasoning. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled "The Code of Life," develops students through community service, student leadership, and Cultural Intelligence (CQ).
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Alexandra Primary School follows the MOE P1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted annually in phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children whose siblings are currently enrolled in the school. Subsequent phases — 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2C Supplementary — each carry specific eligibility criteria, with Singapore citizens receiving priority at every stage.
Applications for Phase 2C and later phases are submitted online through the MOE P1 Registration portal, typically during July. When the number of applicants exceeds available places in a given phase, admission is determined first by citizenship status (Singapore citizens, then permanent residents), followed by home-to-school distance. Balloting has been required at APS in past cycles when demand exceeded vacancies. Parents can check the MOE SchoolFinder website for the most current vacancy figures and distance information.
As a government primary school, APS does not have a separate Direct School Admission process at the primary level. Families considering the school are encouraged to attend open house events for a closer look at the campus and programmes.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
APS follows the MOE national curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Language, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Foundation and standard levels are available for key subjects to accommodate different learning paces.
The school's STEM-oriented Applied Learning Programme in Material Science encourages pupils to explore real-world scientific questions through guided experiments and project-based learning. The STREAM programme extends this further by integrating robotics, engineering principles, and creative arts into mathematics instruction — an approach designed to develop problem-solving skills and logical thinking from an early age. These programmes help build the kind of structured mathematical reasoning that students carry forward into secondary school and the PSLE.
For families looking to reinforce their child's mathematics development beyond the classroom, DeepThink offers primary-level math tuition programmes that complement the MOE syllabus and build confidence in foundational numeracy concepts.
The school also participates in national academic competitions. In 2023, APS student Toh Yu Hang received an award at the Singapore Primary Science Olympiad, reflecting the school's commitment to nurturing talent in STEM disciplines.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Alexandra Primary School's campus includes cluster-style classrooms with integrated project zones, dedicated science laboratories, a well-resourced library, a flexible band room, and a dance studio. Outdoor spaces — including a roof garden and sports areas — are designed for active learning and play. The school provides barrier-free access throughout and has Special Educational Needs Officers on staff to support students who need additional assistance.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) at APS span sports, performing arts, clubs, and uniformed groups, with more than 20 options available. Sports CCAs include badminton, basketball (boys), rugby (boys), softball (girls), track and field, and table tennis. In performing arts, students can participate in choir, modern dance, English drama, Chinese drums, or art and crafts. Clubs and societies cover International Chess, Chinese Culture and Language, Environmental Science, and Cheerleading (girls). The Scouts programme is available as a uniformed group. For Primary 1 to 3 pupils, modular CCA sessions introduce different activities on a rotating basis before students commit to a full CCA from Primary 4 onwards.
Activities like chess and robotics directly reinforce mathematical thinking and strategic reasoning, complementing what students learn in the classroom and building skills that are valuable for the PSLE.
Student Life and School Culture
Daily life at APS is guided by the HER³OIC values framework, which shapes how students interact with one another and approach their learning. The school's vision is for each pupil to grow into a Reflective Learner, Empathic Designer, and Inspiring Leader — goals that are woven into both academic and co-curricular programmes.
The Learning for Life Programme, "The Code of Life," is central to the school's character education efforts. Through structured community service projects, leadership opportunities, and Cultural Intelligence training, students develop a sense of responsibility toward their peers and the wider community. Design thinking activities and outdoor learning experiences supplement the formal curriculum and encourage pupils to approach problems creatively.
Parent engagement is facilitated through the Parent Support Group, which coordinates volunteer activities, school events, and family involvement in student development. The school actively encourages families to take part in the educational journey alongside their children.
As a relatively young school in the Bukit Merah district, APS has built a reputation for providing a nurturing, values-centred primary education that balances academic rigour with holistic development.
