Founded: 1978

How DeepThink supports Ang Mo Kio Primary School students

  • Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Ang Mo Kio 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 Ang Mo Kio 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 Ang Mo Kio 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

Ang Mo Kio Primary School (AMKPS) was founded in 1978 as the first primary school in the Ang Mo Kio New Town estate. During its initial months, Primary One pupils attended classes at Dorset Primary School before the permanent campus at 20 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 was ready. The school held its official opening ceremony in 1993, and further expansion works were completed in 2002 to accommodate a growing student population.

AMKPS is a co-educational, single-session government school with a philosophy centred on positivity, optimism, and confidence. The school's motto is "Rise and Shine," and its vision statement reads: "Every Child, a Confident Person, a Joyful Learner and a Caring Citizen." Principal Mr. Muhammad Farizal leads the school community with the mission "To Care, To Guide, To Inspire."

As a non-Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, AMKPS uses English as the primary medium of instruction and offers Chinese, Malay, and Tamil as mother tongue languages, with both foundation and higher-level options. Two signature programmes define the school's identity: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP), known as POISE@AMKP, which develops students into effective communicators through structured language immersion; and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled Nurturing the Confident AMKPian, which builds student leadership and community service habits from an early age.

Admission Process

Admission to Primary 1 at Ang Mo Kio Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual P1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases:

Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled at the school. Phase 2A provides priority for children of alumni who are members of the school advisory or management committee, children of staff, and children from affiliated kindergartens or churches. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school for at least 40 hours, or who are endorsed by the school's affiliated church or clan association. Phase 2C is for all Singapore citizens or permanent residents who do not qualify under earlier phases.

If applications in any phase exceed available vacancies, places are allocated by balloting. During balloting, priority is given based on home-to-school distance: applicants living within 1 km are considered first, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those beyond 2 km.

All applications are submitted online through the MOE P1 registration portal. Parents can check the MOE website for the latest registration timelines, vacancy data from previous years, and detailed eligibility requirements for each phase.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

AMKPS follows the MOE national curriculum for primary schools, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Foundation and standard-level options are available for English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue to cater to different student abilities and learning paces.

The school's Applied Learning Programme in languages integrates oral communication, creative writing, and presentation skills across year levels, complementing core subject instruction. STEM elements are woven into the broader curriculum, with inquiry-based learning methods used particularly in Mathematics and Science lessons.

Mathematics receives notable emphasis at AMKPS. The school runs Math Fi.e.s.t.a (Festival of Ideas in Math), an enrichment programme that uses hands-on challenges and real-world problem-solving to deepen mathematical understanding. Students have performed well in external competitions: in 2024, AMKPS pupils earned 3 Gold, 4 Silver, and 7 Bronze medals along with 21 Honourable Mentions across the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO), National Math Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS), and Visual-Spatial Mathlympics. Results in the 2025 SASMO at Primary 5 and 6 levels continued this trajectory. Parents seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond what the school provides may consider specialist centres such as DeepThink, which offers structured math tuition programmes aligned to the primary syllabus.

Historical PSLE pass rates at AMKPS have exceeded 92%, and the school has received recognition in academic and sporting arenas at the national level.

Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities

The AMKPS campus was upgraded under MOE's Programme for Rebuilding and Improving Existing Schools (PRIME), equipping classrooms with interactive technology and modern learning tools. The school has a library, science laboratories, dedicated learning support rooms, an indoor sports hall, outdoor playing fields, and covered walkways.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered across Primary 1 to 6, with modular introductory options for younger students. The school provides more than a dozen CCAs spanning four categories:

Sports: Badminton, basketball (boys), football (boys), table tennis, and track and field.

Performing Arts: Brass band, modern dance, English drama, and art and crafts.

Uniformed Groups: Red Cross Youth and Scouts.

Clubs: Infocomm Technology (Computing) and Robotics.

Math-related enrichment, including Olympiad preparation, also operates as an extension activity for students with particular aptitude or interest in the subject. CCA participation supports the school's holistic development goals and helps students build discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills outside the academic curriculum.

Student Life and School Culture

School life at AMKPS is guided by its emphasis on nurturing confident, caring, and joyful learners. The Learning for Life Programme in community service and student leadership gives pupils regular opportunities to contribute to the wider community and take on responsibility within the school.

The school provides support for students with special educational needs through dedicated Special Educational Needs Officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which addresses social and behavioural development for incoming Primary 1 pupils. Parents stay connected to school activities through the Parents Gateway app, which the school uses for communications and updates.

AMKPS maintains a bilingual and multicultural environment reflective of Singapore's national ethos, with programmes and celebrations that recognise the diversity of its student body. The combination of structured academic work, character development through the LLP, and a wide range of co-curricular options gives students a rounded primary school experience.
