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 Nan Chiau 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 Nan Chiau 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
Nan Chiau Primary School has its roots in 1947, when it was established as part of Nan Chiau Girls' School during the post-war period in Singapore. The institution transitioned into a standalone primary school in 1979 and became co-educational in 1984. In 2003, then-Minister for Education RAdm Teo Chee Hean officially opened the school's current campus, signalling a significant chapter in its development.
As a government-aided SAP (Special Assistance Plan) school, Nan Chiau Primary places strong emphasis on bilingual education in English and Chinese. The school's educational approach is grounded in values and centres on the student, with cultural heritage woven into its daily programmes. It operates on a single-session schedule and is situated at 50 Anchorvale Link, Singapore 545080. The school is affiliated with Nan Chiau High School, which provides a pathway consideration for graduating students.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Nan Chiau Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online across several phases. Each phase is based on specific eligibility criteria, such as having a sibling currently enrolled at the school or being a child of a former student.
Parents who do not qualify for earlier phases may apply during Phase 2C through the MOE P1 Registration portal. Priority during this phase is determined by home-to-school distance, and balloting takes place if the number of applications exceeds available places. In recent years, the school recorded a balloting ratio of approximately 1.49, indicating steady demand. Parents should refer to the MOE website each year for the latest timelines, vacancy data, and detailed registration steps.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Nan Chiau Primary delivers the standard MOE curriculum, covering English, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, Tamil), Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Foundation and standard-level options are available for different subjects to accommodate varying student abilities.
The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP), called "Watch Me SOAR" (WMS), focuses on STEM and Health Science. Through this programme, students engage in hands-on experiments that connect mathematics and science concepts to health and wellness topics. Inquiry-based methods and digital tools, such as digital manipulatives in mathematics lessons, encourage active exploration rather than passive memorisation.
The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), branded "EMPOWER@NCPS," centres on community service and student leadership. Through structured activities from Primary 1 to Primary 6, students develop responsibility, empathy, and civic-mindedness. Additionally, the Bilingual Cultural Enhancement Programme (BiCEP), introduced in 2017, deepens Chinese language proficiency and cultural understanding through activities designed by experienced Chinese Language educators.
The school also runs an Enriched Curriculum track aimed at fostering student agency and an enterprising mindset, with a focus on self-directed learning and practical skills. 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 syllabus, which some Nan Chiau families have found helpful for building confidence in the subject.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The campus at 50 Anchorvale Link features purpose-built learning spaces designed for primary-age students. Classrooms are fitted with interactive smart boards and collaborative work areas, and the school library provides a dedicated reading environment.

Uniformed groups include Scouts (boys) and Girl Guides (girls). Clubs such as the Robotics Club and Environmental Science Club give students opportunities to explore STEM concepts and environmental awareness beyond the classroom.
Student Life and School Culture
Nan Chiau Primary fosters a school culture built on values-driven education, community involvement, and bilingual identity. The EMPOWER@NCPS programme encourages students to contribute to the wider community through service projects, helping them apply what they learn in practical, real-world settings.
The school maintains a Parent Support Group (PSG) that facilitates partnerships between families, teachers, and the school administration. Parents can access termly bulletins, administrative forms, and links to MOE portals through the school's parent resources section.
The school has received recognition for its work in several areas, including the Singapore Innovation Class (I-Class) Award in partnership with the National Institute of Education, and a place in the School Green Awards Hall of Fame for environmental education efforts. Nan Chiau was also appointed as the North Zone Centre of Excellence for ICT in 2010 and recognised as a Microsoft Mentor School the same year.
Notable figures from the broader Nan Chiau community include Peh Chin Hua, a former Member of Parliament, and Dr Leong Chan-Hoong, a public policy researcher. For transportation, the school partners with Polly Transport Services for school bus routes; parents may contact Ms Susan at 9069 3357 or Mr Darrell at 9226 7131 for details.
