Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Compassvale 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 Compassvale 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
Compassvale Primary School was established on 4 January 1999, initially operating from a holding site at Sengkang Primary School. In January 2000, the school moved temporarily to Rivervale Primary before relocating to its permanent campus at 21 Compassvale Street later that year. The official opening took place on 21 October 2001, and the school celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2024.
The school operates under the motto "THINKERS • LEADERS • CHAMPIONS" and is guided by the belief that every child is capable of learning and achieving. Core values of respect, resilience, and responsibility are woven into school life. As a single-session government primary school, Compassvale serves students from Primary 1 to Primary 6 and offers bilingual education in English alongside Chinese, Malay, or Tamil at standard, foundation, and higher mother tongue levels.
Two signature programmes distinguish the school. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on STEM education through Game Design and Making, as well as Developing 21st Century Competencies through Robotics. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focuses on Music and Performing Arts, specifically cultivating aesthetics appreciation through music. Both programmes are aligned with MOE's broader educational priorities.
Admission Process
Admission to Compassvale Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual Primary 1 Registration Exercise. The process is conducted in several phases:
- Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently studying at the school.
- Phase 2A is open to children whose parents are alumni of the school, staff members, or members of the school advisory or management committee.
- Phase 2B caters to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by community leaders or organisations connected to the school.
- Phase 2C is for all other children, with priority given to those living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 2 km.
Applications are submitted online through the MOE website during designated registration windows. If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, a ballot is conducted. Distance from the school to the child's registered home address is a key factor in balloting priority. Parents can refer to the MOE SchoolFinder portal for the most current vacancy and balloting information.

Compassvale Primary School follows the national curriculum set by MOE, covering English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages. The school has maintained PSLE results that are consistently above the national average, supporting students in their transition to secondary education.
