Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Jing Shan 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 Jing Shan 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
Jing Shan Primary School traces its origins to August 1944, when it was established as Chin San Public School by local businessmen and villagers in Chin San Village. The school was renamed Jing Shan Primary School in 1982 and merged with Da Qiao Primary School in 2019, bringing two community-focused institutions together on a single campus. The school operates under the motto "United and True, Onward We Strive" and functions as a government co-educational primary school running single-session classes.
The school places strong emphasis on bilingualism and inquiry-based learning. Mother tongue languages offered include Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, available at standard, higher, and foundation levels in line with Singapore's bilingual education policy. Jing Shan serves students from Primary 1 through Primary 6 and follows all MOE curriculum guidelines.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Jing Shan Primary School follows the annual MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online across several phases. Phase 1 is reserved for siblings of current students. Phase 2A accommodates children of alumni and school staff. Phase 2B covers children of parent volunteers and those connected to the school through community or religious organisations. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizen children who have not secured a place in earlier phases.
When applications in any phase exceed available places, balloting determines allocation. Priority during balloting is given first to Singapore citizens, then to permanent residents, with home-to-school distance used as a further tiebreaker. Children living within 1 km of the school receive first priority, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. Parents should refer to the MOE website for registration dates, required documents, and historical vacancy data for each phase.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Jing Shan Primary School offers the full suite of MOE primary subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil), with foundation and standard options available to match each student's learning pace. Supporting subjects include Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. These subjects collectively prepare students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
The school runs two distinctive programmes. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM and Sustainability, known as Green Explorers @ JS, integrates environmental projects with science and technology concepts. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), Flourish @ JS, develops character strengths, mindfulness, and gratitude through community service and student leadership activities. For higher-ability students, the E2K Mathematics programme in Primary 4 and 5 introduces advanced problem-solving, and selected pupils participate in competitions such as the National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS). The school received the SASMO 2025 Plaque of Outstanding Achievement and has had students recognised in the Singapore Primary Science Olympiad.
Families looking for additional support in mathematics beyond school hours may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary school syllabus.
