How DeepThink supports Marymount Convent School students

  • Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Marymount Convent 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 Marymount Convent 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 Marymount Convent 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

Marymount Convent School is a government-aided Catholic girls' primary school situated at 20 Marymount Road, Singapore 297754. It was founded in 1950 by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd and was officially opened by Sir Graham Gimson, then Governor of Singapore, on 29 May 1950. The name "Marymount" refers to "Mary's Mount," signifying a place of spiritual growth.

The school transitioned to a purely primary institution in 1997, allowing it to concentrate entirely on the foundational years of education from Primary 1 to Primary 6. Guided by its motto "God is Our Light," the school operates within the Ministry of Education (MOE) framework while incorporating Catholic values into daily school life. It is recognised for its bilingual emphasis and student-centred teaching approach.

Admission Process

Registration for Primary 1 at Marymount Convent School follows the MOE P1 Registration Exercise, conducted annually in phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled in the school. Phase 2A covers children of alumni members, staff, or those from affiliated churches or clans. Phase 2B includes children whose parents have served as parent volunteers or who are endorsed by community or church leaders connected to the school. Phase 2C is open to all remaining applicants.

If applications in any phase exceed available places, balloting is conducted. Priority during balloting is given to applicants living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. Parents apply through the MOE P1 Registration portal during the designated registration window and are required to submit supporting documents such as birth certificates. Past balloting data and annual updates are published on the MOE website.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

Marymount Convent School follows the national curriculum set by MOE, covering core subjects including English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil). Additional subjects include Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Students may take Foundation or Standard levels in key subjects, and Higher Mother Tongue is available for those with stronger language ability.

The school runs an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Languages, which develops multilingual skills through immersive and activity-based learning. Mathematics instruction incorporates inquiry-based methods and the use of technology to build problem-solving skills from an early age. The curriculum prepares students thoroughly for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), and past cohorts have achieved strong results across all subjects.

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

Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities

The campus features smart classrooms designed for collaborative learning, a library, a sports hall, outdoor learning spaces, and multipurpose fields. The school provides barrier-free access throughout and employs Special Educational Needs Officers to support students with additional learning requirements. A P1 TRANSIT programme is available to help new students with social and behavioural adjustment.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) span sports, the arts, and uniformed groups. Sports CCAs include badminton, netball, tennis, artistic gymnastics, and rhythmic gymnastics. In the performing arts, students can join the choir, modern dance, or art and crafts. The Girl Guides (Brownies) programme is offered as a uniformed group, developing leadership through outdoor and community activities. The school may also run modular CCA sessions that give students exposure to different activities on a short-term basis.

Student Life and School Culture

As a school rooted in the Good Shepherd tradition, Marymount Convent School places strong emphasis on character formation, moral development, and community responsibility. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) centres on Sports and Outdoor Education — known as SPOEEX @ Marymount — which encourages physical well-being and resilience through structured sports and outdoor activities across all levels.

The school day is structured as a single session. Students participate in values education as part of the broader Character and Citizenship Education framework, and the school has received the MOE Character and Citizenship Education Award in recognition of its efforts in this area.

Notable alumni include Indranee Rajah, a senior government minister and lawyer, Dr Noeleen Heyzer, former United Nations Under-Secretary-General, and Braema Mathi, a well-known civic activist. Their contributions across politics, international affairs, and social advocacy reflect the school's lasting influence on its graduates.
