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 Casuarina 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 Casuarina 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
Casuarina Primary School (CAPS) commenced operations on 2 January 2001, initially sharing premises with Coral Primary School and enrolling 97 students across three classes. The school was officially opened in 2004 and has since grown to serve the Pasir Ris community as a government co-educational single-session primary school. In 2014, the school received recognition for its Learning for Life Programme (LLP), and in 2019 it merged with Loyang Primary School, broadening its student population.
The school's philosophy centres on respect, honesty, and resilience, with a vision of inspiring learning and nurturing character within a caring community. Its core values — gratitude, resilience, creativity, compassion, and responsibility — inform daily school life and programme design. CAPS is affiliated with the Ministry of Education and offers Higher Malay Language as part of its commitment to bilingual education.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Casuarina Primary School follows MOE's standard phased admission system. Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings already enrolled at the school. Phase 2A covers children of alumni and school staff. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who have community or church connections. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizen children who have not secured a place in earlier phases.
Applications are submitted online through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated registration window. If the number of applicants exceeds available places in any phase, balloting is conducted, with priority given based on home-to-school distance (within 1 km, within 2 km, and beyond). Parents can consult the MOE SchoolFinder website for historical vacancy and balloting data specific to Casuarina Primary School.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Casuarina Primary School delivers the MOE curriculum across English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil), with both higher and foundation levels available for mother tongue subjects. The school prepares students for the PSLE through weighted assessments and semestral examinations from Primary 1 to Primary 6.
The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focuses on nature-based education and environmental sustainability. Students engage with sustainability concepts through structured lessons organised around three tiers: exploration, appreciation, and stewardship. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), branded as HE'ARTS@CAPS, integrates visual arts and design into the broader curriculum to develop creative thinking alongside academic skills.
In Mathematics, the school employs the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach, which helps students build conceptual understanding by working from physical manipulatives to visual representations before moving to abstract notation. The E2K enrichment programme, available to Primary 4 and 5 students, extends mathematical thinking through inquiry-based problem solving. The Programme for Active Learning (PAL) at Primary 1 and 2 builds confidence and social skills through experiential modules. For families looking to supplement their child's mathematics learning, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary Mathematics syllabus.

The campus at 30 Pasir Ris Street 41 includes interactive classrooms with collaborative learning spaces, a library, a STEM laboratory, and outdoor learning areas.

Student Life and School Culture
School hours run from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM on most weekdays, with an earlier dismissal at 1:00 PM on Wednesdays to allow time for staff professional development. This single-session schedule leaves afternoons available for CCAs, family time, and independent learning.
Character development is woven into school life through the Holistic Health Education programme, which promotes healthy habits and emotional well-being, and through Values-in-Action projects that encourage students to contribute to the community. The school partners with Family Matters@School for parent workshops and runs the Dads for Life programme to support parental engagement in education. Communication between school and home is facilitated through the Parents Gateway app and periodic resource sharing on topics such as cyber wellness.
Students are expected to wear the prescribed school uniform and PE attire, which can be purchased from My Uniform Shop at 209 New Upper Changi Road.
