About Dazhong Primary School
Dazhong Primary School’s story is one of resilience and reinvention, tracing its roots back to 1938 when it began as Tai Cheong Public School, honoring founder Mr. Chew Tai Cheong. Facing historical challenges like World War II disruptions, the school relocated and rebranded as Dazhong in the 1980s—a name evoking “great unity” in Chinese.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Dazhong 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 Dazhong 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
Dazhong Primary School traces its origins to 1938, when it was established as Tai Cheong Public School in honour of its founder, Mr. Chew Tai Cheong. The school underwent several relocations due to wartime disruptions during World War II and was renamed Dazhong — meaning "great unity" in Chinese — during the 1980s. It moved to its present site at 15 March in 1986 and was officially opened in 1988 by then-Member of Parliament Mr. Chai Chong Yii. In 2003, the school adopted a single-session model to allow more time for student-focused programmes.
The school operates under the vision "Achievers rooted in values, soaring beyond limits" and is guided by the IREAP values framework: Inspire, Respect, Excel, Aspire, and Persevere. Its mission centres on developing self-directed learners, gracious leaders, and engaged citizens. The school offers English and Mother Tongue languages — Chinese, Malay, and Tamil — at various levels, including Higher and Foundation options, reflecting a strong emphasis on bilingual education.
Two distinctive programmes define Dazhong's identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM focuses on sustainability under the Greenovators@Dazhong initiative, where students work on projects such as rainwater collection systems and waste-sorting technology. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Music and Performing Arts provides students with opportunities in creative expression. The school also participates in MOE's Arts Education Programme and integrates inquiry-based and technology-enhanced approaches across its curriculum.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Dazhong Primary School follows the standard MOE Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases. Earlier phases prioritise children with siblings already enrolled at the school, children of alumni, and children of staff or community leaders connected to the school. Phase 2C is open to Singapore Citizen children who do not qualify under earlier phases and is based on home-to-school distance.
Applications for all phases are submitted online through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated registration windows. If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds the available vacancies, balloting takes place. In Phase 2C balloting, priority is given first to children living within 1 km of the school, then to those living between 1 km and 2 km.
Parents can review past vacancy and balloting data on the MOE SchoolFinder website to gauge demand patterns. As a government school, Dazhong's fees follow MOE's standardised schedule, with low fees for Singapore Citizens and rates varying by nationality and applicable subsidies. For the most current registration details and timelines, parents should refer to the MOE website or contact the school directly.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Dazhong Primary School follows the national primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, Tamil), Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Foundation-level options are available in English, Mathematics, and Mother Tongue for students who benefit from additional scaffolding.
The school's Mathematics programme has produced consistently strong PSLE outcomes. Students have earned Bronze Awards at the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools, and six students secured Bronze at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools. The E2K (Enrichment for Knowledge) programme provides additional challenge for high-ability learners in Primary 4 to Primary 6.
The Greenovators@Dazhong ALP integrates Mathematics and Science with environmental sustainability, giving students hands-on experience applying numerical and analytical skills to real-world problems. This practical approach helps reinforce classroom concepts through project-based work.
For families seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond what the school provides, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary syllabus, which some Dazhong families have found helpful for building confidence ahead of PSLE.
