How DeepThink supports Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)
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

What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)?
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 Anglo-Chinese School (Junior).
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
Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) was established on 1 March 1886 by Bishop William Fitzjames Oldham, initially operating from a shophouse at 70 Amoy Street. It is a government-aided boys' primary school and one of several institutions under the ACS family, alongside Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road). As a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, ACS(J) places particular emphasis on bilingual education in English and Chinese.
The school is guided by the motto "The Best Is Yet to Be" and aims to develop young gentlemen of character who are equipped to lead and serve. Its educational philosophy centres on values including integrity, excellence, curiosity, collaboration, and loyalty. Two signature programmes define its approach: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Creative Thinkers, which uses interdisciplinary projects to develop innovative thinking, and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) titled "All for Sports, Sports for All," focused on sports and outdoor education.
ACS(J) is located at 16 Winstedt Road, Singapore 227988, and operates as a single-session primary school serving boys from Primary 1 through Primary 6.
Admission Process
Enrolment at ACS(J) follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration framework, which is conducted online across several phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings already attending the school. Subsequent phases extend eligibility to children connected to the school through alumni ties, church membership, or community involvement, before opening to the general public in Phase 2C.
In oversubscribed phases, places are allocated by ballot, with priority given to Singapore Citizens and then to families living within the school's designated home-school distance bands. For the 2025 intake, eligible children must have been born between 2 January 2019 and 1 January 2020. Parents should consult the MOE P1 Registration portal for exact timelines and required documentation.
ACS(J) is affiliated with Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) at the secondary level. This affiliation grants ACS(J) graduates a priority consideration during the PSLE posting exercise. Based on the 2024 intake at ACS(I), indicative cut-off points for affiliated students were an Achievement Level score of 4 to 6 for the Integrated Programme and 7 to 13 for the O-Level Express programme.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
ACS(J) follows the standard MOE primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Higher Chinese, Malay, and Tamil). As an SAP school, there is a strong emphasis on both English and Chinese language proficiency.
The Mathematics Department structures its programme around three tiers: "Fun in Mathematics" for building early engagement, "Discovery in Mathematics" for developing conceptual understanding, and "Mastery in Mathematics" for stretching able learners. The Math Playground initiative uses games and hands-on activities to help pupils build problem-solving confidence from a young age. STEM learning is reinforced through activities such as Lego Robotics in the Science Club.
The school's Applied Learning Programme encourages pupils to think across subject boundaries, applying knowledge from different disciplines to solve real-world problems. This interdisciplinary approach complements the core academic subjects and helps prepare students for the PSLE.
Families looking for additional support in primary-level mathematics may find structured programmes at centres like DeepThink helpful for reinforcing the problem-solving skills developed in school.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Winstedt Road campus features technology-equipped classrooms designed for inquiry-based learning, a well-resourced library, and dedicated spaces for science experiments and hands-on exploration. Outdoor areas including multipurpose fields support the school's emphasis on physical activity and sports education. Allied educators are available to provide tailored learning support for students with diverse needs.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered to pupils from Primary 3 to Primary 6, with more than 20 options available across four categories:

Uniformed Groups: Boys' Brigade and Scouts, both focused on building leadership and discipline.
Performing Arts: Choir, String Ensemble, Modern Dance, and Concert Band.
Clubs and Societies: Art and Crafts, International Chess, and Physical Science.
The International Chess Club develops strategic and logical reasoning, while the Physical Science CCA connects hands-on experimentation with mathematical and scientific concepts. These CCAs complement the academic programme by providing additional avenues for holistic development.
Student Life and School Culture
School culture at ACS(J) is rooted in its Methodist heritage and a commitment to character formation. The school's values framework emphasises service, integrity, excellence, and loyalty, and these principles are woven into daily school life through pastoral care, assembly programmes, and community involvement.
As a boys-only school, ACS(J) tailors its programmes to the developmental needs of young male learners. The Learning for Life Programme in Sports and Outdoor Education is central to this, using physical activity and teamwork to build resilience and social skills. Camps, outdoor expeditions, and inter-class competitions are regular features of the school calendar.
ACS(J) provides support for students with mild special educational needs through Special Educational Needs Officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which assists pupils with social and behavioural adjustment during their first year. The Lee Hah Ing Scholarship recognises top PSLE scorers who demonstrate exemplary character, and the ACS OBA Meritorious Award acknowledges broader holistic achievement.
Notable alumni of the wider ACS family include Olympic swimmer Joseph Schooling and singer-songwriter JJ Lin, reflecting the school network's tradition of nurturing well-rounded individuals across diverse fields.
