Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Jiemin 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 Jiemin 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
Jiemin Primary School is a government co-educational primary school situated at 2 Yishun Street 71, Singapore 768515. It began operations in January 1985 with 23 classes and initially served as a temporary site for students from Peixin Primary School and West Hill Primary School. The school takes its name from two former Chinese-medium institutions, Jiegu and Quanmin Public Schools, both of which closed in 1984. Jiemin Primary was officially opened in 1987 and marked its 40th anniversary in 2025.
The school operates as a single-session institution and is guided by the vision of developing Global Learners and Discerning Citizens, with the mission of Nurturing Hearts, Nurturing Minds. Its five core values are Resilience, Responsibility, Respect, Humility, and Care. These principles underpin the school's approach to educating students from Primary 1 through Primary 6 in a supportive and structured environment.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Jiemin Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. The exercise runs in phases from Phase 1 through Phase 2C Supplementary, typically between July and August each year. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already attending the school, while subsequent phases cater to different eligibility criteria such as alumni connections, parent volunteers, and community ties.
Phase 2C is open to children without prior links to the school. Priority within this phase is determined by home-to-school distance, categorised as within 1 km, between 1 km and 2 km, or beyond 2 km. If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, balloting is carried out within each distance band. Parents can review historical vacancy and balloting data on the MOE website to understand how competitive each phase has been in previous years.
Required documents generally include the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address. Full registration details, eligibility requirements, and phase timelines are published on the MOE admissions portal each year.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Jiemin Primary School follows the standard MOE curriculum for primary schools. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages, with Chinese, Malay, and Tamil offered at both standard and higher levels to accommodate different proficiency levels. Additional subjects across the six-year programme include Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies.
The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP), called Journalist-in-Making (JiM), focuses on language skills and raises awareness of global topics such as environmental sustainability and conservation. Students from Primary 1 to Primary 6 participate in hands-on activities that connect classroom learning to real-world issues. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled Aesthetics Alive, centres on music and the performing arts, giving students opportunities to develop creativity and emotional expression through artistic engagement.
For families seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond the school curriculum, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary-level MOE syllabus, which some parents in the Yishun area have found helpful for building foundational numeracy skills.
