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 Bendemeer 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 Bendemeer 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
Bendemeer Primary School was founded in 1977 and formally opened in March 1978 by Mr Sidek Saniff, then Member of Parliament for Kolam Ayer. The school initially enrolled students transferring from nearby institutions such as Griffiths and Beatty schools. It operates as a co-educational government primary school under the Ministry of Education, running a single-session timetable.
The school's stated mission is to nurture and inspire students to develop a love of learning, lead with confidence, and contribute positively to others. Its vision centres on building a gracious community of confident leaders with inquiring minds. Bendemeer places emphasis on bilingualism, character development, and student-centred teaching across all levels from Primary 1 to Primary 6.
Two signature programmes define Bendemeer's identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focuses on STEM and Sustainability under the banner E2SL@BPS (Environment Education in Sustainable Living), where students engage in hands-on projects related to eco-innovation and environmental problem-solving. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), known as Bendemeer's TEMPO (Towards Enhancement of Music and Performing Arts Opportunities), develops creativity and self-expression through music and the performing arts. The school also provides support for higher mother tongue languages and runs the P1 TRANSIT programme for students with social and behavioural needs.
Admission Process
Admission to Bendemeer Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online in phases typically between July and August each year. Eligible Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children born within the specified year range can register according to the relevant priority phase.
Phase 2C is open to children who do not qualify for earlier phases. Places are allocated based on home-to-school distance, with priority given to families living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those beyond 2 km. If applications exceed available vacancies in any distance band, places are determined by ballot. All applications are submitted through the MOE P1 registration portal.
As a government primary school, Bendemeer does not conduct Direct School Admission (DSA) at the primary level. Parents should refer to the MOE website each year for updated timelines, eligibility criteria, and vacancy information for each registration phase.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Bendemeer Primary School follows the national curriculum set by MOE, preparing students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) across core subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil). Higher Mother Tongue options are available for eligible students. Foundation-level subjects in English, Mathematics, and Science cater to students who benefit from a different pace of instruction.
The full subject list spans Art, Music, Physical Education, Social Studies, and the core academic subjects. From Primary 1 to Primary 6, the curriculum is structured to build foundational literacy and numeracy before progressing to examination-level content.
Mathematics instruction at Bendemeer includes enrichment tracks such as the Math E2K programme for upper primary students, which provides additional challenge for those with strong aptitude. Lower primary students participate in numeracy enrichment through activity-based learning designed to build confidence with numbers. For families seeking additional structured support in mathematics beyond school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary mathematics syllabus.
The ALP in STEM-Sustainability integrates mathematics and science concepts into real-world environmental projects, giving students opportunities to apply data analysis and quantitative reasoning in practical contexts. The TEMPO programme complements academics by developing creative and expressive skills through music and performance.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Bendemeer Primary School operates on a single-session basis and provides barrier-free access throughout the campus to support students with physical needs. The school employs Special Educational Needs Officers to assist students who require additional learning support.
Facilities include interactive classrooms, a library, and a dedicated STEM lab that supports the E2SL@BPS programme. Outdoor spaces include a sports field used for activities such as football and flying disc.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are available to all students from Primary 1 to Primary 6 through a modular structure that exposes students to a range of pursuits. The full CCA list includes Concert Band, Chinese Dance, Malay Dance, Indian Dance, Sepak Takraw, Rope Skipping, Wushu, Floorball, Track and Field, Art Club, and Media & Environment Club. Sports CCAs such as Sepak Takraw (boys), Wushu, and Rope Skipping develop physical fitness, teamwork, and discipline. The performing arts groups foster creative expression and stage confidence. The ALP also offers STEM-related activities, including elements of robotics and environmental simulation, for students interested in applied problem-solving.
Student Life and School Culture
Bendemeer Primary School cultivates a school culture centred on character education, inclusivity, and student agency. The school's Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) programme runs across all levels, reinforcing values such as respect, responsibility, and resilience.
The IGNITE programme encourages student autonomy by giving students greater ownership over aspects of their learning and school experience. The Parent Support Group (PSG) provides a channel for family involvement in school activities and events, strengthening the partnership between home and school.
Bendemeer has received recognition for its community partnerships, including the Meritorious Defence Partner Award in 2012 and 2013 for contributions to Total Defence education, and a 2022 award for its collaboration with SINDA's Teach Programme. Students participate in national platforms including SYF Arts Presentations and zone-level sports competitions.
The school's single-session structure allows for a consistent daily routine, and its location near Boon Keng MRT station provides convenient public transport access for families in the area.
