Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at East Spring 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 East Spring 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
East Spring Primary School is a government co-educational primary school situated at 31 Tampines Street 33, Singapore 529258. It opened on 4 January 1999 to serve families in the eastern part of Tampines New Town. The school completed its PRIME upgrading in 2014, bringing its campus and programmes up to contemporary standards.
The school operates on a single-session model and follows MOE's framework for developing confident individuals, self-directed learners, concerned citizens, and active contributors. It offers mother tongue instruction in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil alongside English, in line with Singapore's bilingual education policy. East Spring Primary is not a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school.
Two signature programmes define the school's identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP), branded as Digital Creativity @ ESPS, focuses on digital making — combining technology with creative problem-solving as a foundation for STEM learning. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), called SPRING for Life, centres on sports and outdoor education to build resilience and character through physical activity. The school also runs the E2K Mathematics enrichment programme, which selects students with strong mathematical aptitude from Primary 2 onwards for advanced problem-solving challenges.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at East Spring Primary School follows the MOE annual exercise, which is conducted online in structured phases. Priority is given in sequence to siblings of current students, children of alumni and staff, and families living within proximity of the school (1 km, then 2 km). Applications are submitted through the MOE P1 Registration Portal.
If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, admission is determined by ballot. Singapore Citizens receive priority over Permanent Residents in balloting, and applicants living closer to the school are ranked higher.
Based on the 2024 registration data, no balloting was required in Phases 2B, 2C, or 2C Supplementary, and 29 vacancies remained available heading into Phase 3. These figures change each year depending on demand, so parents should check the MOE vacancies page for the most current information.
Phase 2C is open to children who do not qualify under earlier phases. Applications for this phase are also submitted online via the MOE portal during the designated window. Parents considering East Spring Primary should note that proximity to the school at 31 Tampines Street 33 is a key factor in the event of oversubscription.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
East Spring Primary School delivers the standard MOE primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, Tamil), Art, Music, Physical Education, Social Studies, and Character and Citizenship Education. Students may take subjects at foundation or standard levels depending on their individual strengths, supporting differentiated pathways toward the PSLE.
Mathematics instruction at the school is supported by the E2K enrichment programme, which targets higher-ability pupils from Primary 2 and develops logical reasoning and advanced problem-solving skills. For families seeking additional structured practice outside school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary Mathematics syllabus and can complement what students learn in class.
The ALP in digital making integrates computational thinking with hands-on projects, while the SPRING for Life outdoor education programme builds perseverance and teamwork through physical challenges. Together, these signature programmes add practical, applied dimensions to the core academic curriculum.
The school's mission is to develop gracious, lifelong learners who are grounded in sound values and equipped with the skills needed for a changing world.

Student Life and School Culture
East Spring Primary School places emphasis on values-based education. The school's culture is built around qualities such as kindness, respect, and responsibility, and these are woven into daily routines, classroom interactions, and school-wide programmes.
The ALP and LLP serve as vehicles for character development beyond their academic and physical objectives. Through the SPRING for Life outdoor education programme, students face challenges that build grit and cooperation. The digital making ALP encourages creative risk-taking and collaborative problem-solving.
Parental involvement is welcomed through open communication channels, school events, and parent support groups. The school maintains clear expectations around student conduct, including a prescribed uniform policy (PE attire is permitted on days with physical activities or CCAs), restrictions on jewellery and accessories, and guidelines for appropriate hairstyles.
