The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Secondary Math is not one-size-fits-all. A G1 student preparing for the SEC exam needs completely different content from a G3 student heading for A-Math. We keep streams in separate classes so every session is relevant.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does my child's stream affect which class they join at DeepThink?
Yes. G1, G2, and G3 students each have their own class, so every lesson matches the exact syllabus and exam format your child is sitting.
My child is doing okay in S1/S2 but I'm worried about the jump to S3. Is it too early to start?
S3 is where most students hit a wall — the syllabus gets significantly harder, A-Math is new, and SEC exam (or O-Level for the current Sec 4 cohort) prep begins. Students who build strong foundations in S1–S2 handle that jump far better. Starting early is the highest-leverage move a parent can make.
When is the right time for a secondary student to start tuition?
S1 is ideal — algebra gaps from the start of secondary compound quickly and are harder to fix later. That said, students who join in S3 or S4 can still benefit significantly from targeted exam preparation.
What makes DeepThink different for secondary students?
Stream-specific classes. Every lesson, worked example, and past-year paper is matched to your child's stream.
School Overview
Kranji Secondary School is a government co-educational institution situated in Choa Chu Kang, Singapore. Founded in 1995 and originally located at Chestnut Drive Secondary School before moving to its present campus in 1996, the school operates on a single-session model and serves approximately 1,400 students.
Guided by the motto "Thinker. Leader. Champion," Kranji centres its educational approach on a Thinking Curriculum designed to develop confident, curious learners. The school does not hold formal affiliations with any primary school, meaning all applicants compete on equal footing during admissions.
Two signature programmes distinguish Kranji's offering. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Design Innovation for Sustainable Living engages students in hands-on projects addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, incorporating industry visits and interdisciplinary problem-solving. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Community and Youth Leadership cultivates empathy and service through workshops and community-based initiatives.
Admission Process
Entry to Kranji Secondary School is primarily through the PSLE posting exercise, with additional places available via Direct School Admission (DSA).
For the 2025 intake, the indicative PSLE cut-off points for non-affiliated students, based on Achievement Level (AL) scores, were as follows:
Posting Group 1: AL 25 to 27
Posting Group 2: AL 21 to 23
Posting Group 3: AL 7 to 13
These figures represent the score of the last admitted student in each group and may shift from year to year depending on demand. As Kranji has no primary school affiliation, there is no affiliation bonus in the posting exercise.
DSA applications are typically submitted through the MOE DSA-Sec portal beginning in May of Primary 5, with places available for students demonstrating talent in sports, performing arts, leadership, or academics.
Kranji follows the O-Level track and does not offer an Integrated Programme. The school implements Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB), which allows students to take individual subjects at different levels matched to their strengths rather than being placed in a fixed stream. Parents considering Kranji are encouraged to attend the school's open house events, usually held in May or June, for a firsthand look at the campus and programmes.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Kranji delivers a broad O-Level curriculum spanning core and elective subjects. Core offerings include English Language, Mathematics (Elementary and Additional), Sciences (including Physics-Chemistry and Chemistry-Biology combinations), and Humanities (Social Studies with Geography or History). Upper secondary students may choose electives such as Principles of Accounts, Computing, and Higher Mother Tongue Languages. Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students can study different subjects at varying levels suited to their individual abilities.
The school's 2024 O-Level cohort achieved strong results, with a significant proportion of students attaining four or more distinctions and pass rates exceeding 90 percent in subjects such as Mathematics and the Sciences. Kranji students have also earned recognition in national-level Mathematics and Science competitions, and graduates have progressed to junior colleges and polytechnics.
The ALP in Design Innovation for Sustainable Living integrates STEM skills with creative problem-solving, with activities such as robotics projects reinforcing the curriculum's emphasis on applied learning. For families seeking additional support in Mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre offering structured programmes aligned to the O-Level syllabuses that can complement what students learn in school.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Kranji's campus features smart classrooms and personal learning devices (PLDs) issued to all Secondary 1 students as part of the school's technology integration strategy. The grounds include science laboratories, computer labs, a well-stocked library, sports halls, and arts studios. Recent campus improvements have introduced environmentally conscious spaces that reflect the school's sustainability focus through its ALP.
The school offers more than 20 co-curricular activities across four categories:
Sports: Badminton (Boys and Girls), Basketball (Boys and Girls), Football (Boys), Floorball (Boys and Girls), Table Tennis (Girls)
Uniformed Groups: National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), St. John Brigade, National Cadet Corps (NCC) Land
Performing Arts: Choir, Chinese Dance, Modern Dance, Concert Band, Angklung and Kulintang Ensemble, English Literary Drama and Debating Society (ELDDS)
Clubs and Societies: Robotics, Humanities, Leadership, Infocomm Technology (Media Production), International and Global Studies, Physical Science, Art and Crafts, Malay Culture and Language
CCA involvement is closely linked to the LLP's leadership development track, providing students with opportunities to take on responsibilities, collaborate in teams, and contribute to community projects.
Student Life and School Culture
School culture at Kranji is shaped by values of integrity, creativity, and empathy. The daily schedule begins with morning assembly, and class sizes are approximately 40 students. Pastoral care is provided through peer support programmes, counselling services, and dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) officers who support inclusive learning.
The school structures student development progressively across year levels under its student experience framework. Secondary 1 students participate in orientation activities to build connections with peers. Secondary 2 focuses on developing reflective thinking skills. Secondary 3 students take on leadership roles, while Secondary 4 and 5 students prepare for post-secondary pathways through resilience-building activities and career exposure sessions.
Anti-bullying measures are proactive, with peer mediation and counselling forming part of the school's approach to maintaining a respectful environment. The school also promotes well-being practices such as journaling and regular wellness check-ins.
