  • 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

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers for parents

Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Kheng Cheng 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 Kheng Cheng 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

Kheng Cheng School is a government-aided, co-educational primary school that was established in 1927 and is approaching its centennial anniversary in 2027. The school operates as a single-session institution and holds Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status, reflecting its strong emphasis on bilingual education in both English and Chinese.

Guided by the motto "Wisdom, Integrity, Diligence," the school takes a values-centred approach to teaching and learning. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focuses on STEM and sustainability, branded internally as "Eco-lution," which combines environmental science with practical, hands-on projects. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) centres on community service and student leadership, developing advocacy skills and social responsibility among pupils.

Kheng Cheng is a barrier-free campus with provisions for students with special educational needs, including dedicated support officers and the P1 TRANSIT programme for children with social and behavioural needs.

Admission Process

Enrolment at Kheng Cheng School follows the standard MOE Primary 1 registration exercise, which takes place annually from around July to August. Registration is conducted online and proceeds through several phases.

Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled at the school. Subsequent phases accommodate children with alumni connections, parent volunteers, community or church leaders, and residents within the school's home-school distance zones. Phase 2C is open to all eligible Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children who were not placed in earlier phases.

When applications in any phase exceed the number of available places, balloting is conducted. Priority during balloting is given based on home-school distance, categorised as within 1 km, between 1 and 2 km, and beyond 2 km. Parents should prepare documents such as the child's birth certificate and submit applications through the MOE P1 registration portal during the designated periods. Historical vacancy and balloting data is available on the MOE website for reference.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

The school delivers the standard MOE primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Mother Tongue Languages. Mother tongue options include Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, each available at foundation and higher levels to accommodate different proficiency levels.

Core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue are offered at both foundation and standard levels under subject-based banding, allowing students to learn each subject at a pace suited to their ability. The curriculum prepares students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), with the school having received the Sustained Achievement Award for Academic Excellence in 2022.

The STEM-sustainability ALP integrates science and mathematics concepts through environmental projects, while technology-enhanced lessons support analytical and computational thinking. Students at Kheng Cheng have achieved notable results in national competitions, including reaching the finals of the National Chinese Challenge in 2025 — a first for the school — and securing prizes in national innovation contests.

Families seeking additional support in mathematics outside school hours may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary syllabus.

Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities

The campus includes smart classrooms fitted with digital learning tools, a dedicated STEM laboratory, and a well-resourced library. Outdoor learning spaces, including sustainability gardens linked to the ALP, provide opportunities for applied learning activities. The school is fully barrier-free to support accessibility for all students.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) span sports, performing arts, clubs, and uniformed groups. Sports offerings include Basketball (Boys), Track and Field, and Modular Sports, which allow younger students to sample different activities. International Chess is available for students interested in strategy and logical reasoning.

In the performing arts, students can join the Chinese Orchestra, Choir, Modern Dance (Girls), or Art and Crafts. Clubs include Environmental Science and Infocomm Technology with a focus on media production. Uniformed groups — Girls' Brigade, Red Cross Youth, and Scouts — build discipline, leadership, and a sense of community responsibility.

Modular CCAs are offered for both boys and girls, giving Primary 1 to 6 students the flexibility to explore a range of activities without a long-term commitment.

Student Life and School Culture

School culture at Kheng Cheng is shaped by its three core values of wisdom, integrity, and diligence. The Learning for Life Programme encourages students to develop their voice through community service projects and leadership opportunities, fostering a sense of civic duty from a young age.

As a SAP school, Kheng Cheng places particular importance on Chinese language and cultural activities, which are woven into school life alongside the broader bilingual curriculum. This dual emphasis helps students develop a strong bicultural identity.

The school supports holistic development through a combination of academic rigour, character education, and diverse co-curricular involvement. Programmes addressing student well-being and inclusivity are part of the broader pastoral care approach, with support structures in place for students with special educational needs.
