About Haig Girls' School
Founded on 10 September 1951, Haig Girls’ School began humbly with 200 pupils in a double-storey building at Jalan Tembusu, off Haig Road. Over the decades, it has evolved into one of Singapore’s two government girls’ primary schools, celebrating milestones like its 60th anniversary in 2011 and establishing itself as a prototype for Holistic Assessment in 2010.

Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Haig Girls' School
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 Haig Girls' 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 Haig Girls' 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
Haig Girls' School opened on 10 September 1951 with an initial enrolment of 200 pupils in a two-storey building along Jalan Tembusu, off Haig Road. It is one of only two government primary schools in Singapore that admit girls exclusively. The school marked its 60th anniversary in 2011 and was selected as a prototype for Holistic Assessment in 2010.
HGS operates under the Ministry of Education and does not carry SAP or any other specialised affiliation. Its educational philosophy centres on character development, bilingualism, and balanced growth, with the goal of nurturing resilient and compassionate young leaders. The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP), titled Innovation and Service Learning through Integrated Project Work (IPW@HGS), connects classroom knowledge with hands-on design challenges and community service. Its Learning for Life Programme (LLP) uses performing and visual arts as vehicles for character building and leadership development across a three-tiered structure serving all levels from Primary 1 to Primary 6.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Haig Girls' School follows the annual MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online in sequential phases. Phase 1 is for children whose siblings are currently enrolled. Phase 2A covers children of alumni and staff. Phase 2B is open to children of parent volunteers and those with community or church connections to the school. Phase 2C is a general phase for all remaining applicants.
When applications in any phase exceed available places, a ballot is conducted. Priority in balloting is determined by home-to-school distance (within 1 km, between 1 and 2 km, and beyond 2 km) and citizenship status, with Singapore citizens given precedence. Parents should refer to the MOE website for exact registration dates, eligibility requirements, and historical balloting data for the school.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The core curriculum at Haig Girls' School covers English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil), with foundation and higher-level options available for Mother Tongue. Additional subjects include Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Interdisciplinary project work is woven into the programme through the school's ALP.
For Mathematics specifically, HGS offers the E2K Math Programme as an enrichment track for upper primary pupils who demonstrate strong aptitude. The school also runs Math Olympiad training under its Discover, Develop and Dedicate Your Talent Time (D3T2) framework. Teaching at HGS emphasises conceptual understanding, and students have performed well in national competitions including Math Olympiad and Science challenges. The school has been recognised by MOE for its character and citizenship education work and hosted the launch of the East Zone Cluster Centre in 2012.
Subject-based banding allows students to take standard or foundation levels in individual subjects, and assessments are structured to mirror PSLE formats as students progress through upper primary. For families looking for additional support in Mathematics alongside the school programme, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary syllabus.
Mother Tongue instruction builds skills in composition, comprehension, oral communication, and listening, with preparation geared toward PSLE requirements at each proficiency level.

The school is located at 51 Koon Seng Road. Its campus includes interactive classrooms with smart technology, a library, dedicated arts studios, science laboratories, and outdoor learning areas with gardens and multipurpose fields.

The school supports students with special educational needs through dedicated Special Educational Needs Officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme, which focuses on social and behavioural skills to ease the transition into primary school.

Different fee schedules apply for Permanent Residents and International Students, and financial assistance schemes are available through MOE.
Parents can participate in school life through curriculum briefings, volunteer opportunities (which also qualify for Phase 2B admission priority), and home-learning support resources provided by the school.
