The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Secondary Math is not one-size-fits-all. A G1 student preparing for the SEC exam needs completely different content from a G3 student heading for A-Math. We keep streams in separate classes so every session is relevant.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does my child's stream affect which class they join at DeepThink?
Yes. G1, G2, and G3 students each have their own class, so every lesson matches the exact syllabus and exam format your child is sitting.
My child is doing okay in S1/S2 but I'm worried about the jump to S3. Is it too early to start?
S3 is where most students hit a wall — the syllabus gets significantly harder, A-Math is new, and SEC exam (or O-Level for the current Sec 4 cohort) prep begins. Students who build strong foundations in S1–S2 handle that jump far better. Starting early is the highest-leverage move a parent can make.
When is the right time for a secondary student to start tuition?
S1 is ideal — algebra gaps from the start of secondary compound quickly and are harder to fix later. That said, students who join in S3 or S4 can still benefit significantly from targeted exam preparation.
What makes DeepThink different for secondary students?
Stream-specific classes. Every lesson, worked example, and past-year paper is matched to your child's stream.
School Overview
Chua Chu Kang Secondary School (CCKSS) is a government co-educational secondary school that began operations in 1992. Located in the Choa Chu Kang neighbourhood, it runs a single-session timetable and serves students across all posting groups. The school is guided by its motto, "Serve, Grow, Excel," which reflects its focus on community contribution, personal development, and the pursuit of high standards.
CCKSS offers two signature programmes that shape its academic identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on STEM with a sustainability theme, giving students opportunities to work on hands-on projects related to environmental resilience. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on Community Youth Leadership, developing students' sense of responsibility through structured leadership and service initiatives. The school is not affiliated with any primary school and does not hold autonomous or SAP status.
Admission Process
Admission to CCKSS follows the standard MOE Secondary 1 Posting Exercise based on PSLE results. As a non-affiliated school, all applicants are assessed on the same merit basis without priority placements.
For the 2024 PSLE cohort, the indicative cut-off points for non-affiliated students were: Posting Group 3 (14 to 20), Posting Group 2 (21 to 24), and Posting Group 1 (25 to 27). These figures represent the score of the last admitted student and may shift from year to year.
The school participates in Direct School Admission (DSA) for Secondary 1 entry. For the 2025 intake, DSA categories include Community Youth Leadership, Hockey, Modern Dance, and Science for Sustainable Development, all open to both boys and girls. Applications are submitted through the MOE DSA portal, typically between May and early June.
CCKSS offers the Express, Normal (Academic), and Normal (Technical) courses. From the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort onward, Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB) is progressively replacing traditional streaming, allowing students to take individual subjects at different levels based on their aptitude.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
CCKSS follows the national MOE curriculum. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics (Elementary and Additional), Sciences, and Humanities. Elective offerings include Principles of Accounts, Nutrition and Food Science, and combined science options such as Chemistry-Biology and Physics-Chemistry. Mother Tongue Languages are available at standard and higher levels, with Syllabus B options for students who require them.
The school's ALP in STEM-Sustainability integrates project-based learning into the curriculum, with students working on practical challenges related to environmental issues. The LLP in Community Youth Leadership complements academic learning with structured opportunities for students to plan and carry out service projects.
Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students have the flexibility to study particular subjects at more demanding levels where they show strength. This approach supports more personalised academic pathways compared to the earlier fixed-stream model.
Families seeking additional support in Mathematics may consider DeepThink, a specialist math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned with the O-Level syllabus, covering both Elementary and Additional Mathematics at various levels.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The school campus includes air-conditioned classrooms fitted with interactive technology, science and computer laboratories, a library, and dedicated spaces for art. Sports facilities comprise a multipurpose hall, running track, and open fields used for activities such as hockey and athletics. The campus also features green spaces connected to the school's sustainability-focused ALP.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are compulsory for all students. The school offers a range of options across four categories:
Sports: Badminton, Basketball (boys), Football (boys), Hockey, Netball (girls), Taekwondo, Wushu.
Uniformed Groups: Girl Guides (girls), National Cadet Corps Land (boys), National Police Cadet Corps, Scouts (boys).
Performing Arts: Concert Band, Guitar Ensemble, Modern Dance, English Drama.
Clubs and Societies: Robotics, Environmental Science, Infocomm Technology (Media Production).
Several CCAs correspond to the school's DSA talent areas, providing a pathway for students admitted through that route to continue developing their strengths.
Student Life and School Culture
CCKSS places emphasis on values such as empathy, responsibility, and resilience. The school day typically begins at 7:40 a.m. and ends around 2:00 p.m., with time afterward for CCAs and supplementary programmes. Class sizes generally range from 35 to 40 students.
Pastoral care is delivered through form teachers and peer support structures. The school runs anti-bullying programmes and organises events such as Racial Harmony Day and Total Defence activities to promote inclusivity and social awareness.
Secondary 1 students participate in orientation camps and outdoor programmes designed to ease the transition from primary school and build early friendships. The school also offers Global Connect Trips to destinations such as Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, giving students exposure to different cultures and broadening their perspectives beyond the classroom.
