About Ngee Ann Primary School
Founded: 1940
How DeepThink supports Ngee Ann Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Ngee Ann Primary 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 Ngee Ann 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 Ngee Ann 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
Ngee Ann Primary School traces its origins to 1940, when the Ngee Ann Kongsi established Ngee Ann Girls' School with the goal of providing girls access to formal education during a period of significant social change in Singapore. In 1980, the school transitioned to co-education and adopted its current name. As a government-aided primary school, it operates under the Ministry of Education framework and maintains an affiliation with Ngee Ann Secondary School.
The school's educational philosophy centres on bilingualism, character formation, and curiosity-driven learning. Its Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focuses on STEM and sustainability — branded internally as "Sustainable Green" — where students engage in hands-on projects combining science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with environmental awareness. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), known as GRACE (GRowing Appreciation for Creative Expression), develops students through music and the performing arts. For academically strong mathematics students, the E2K Mathematics Programme offers extended challenges beyond the standard curriculum.
Admission Process
Admission to Primary 1 at Ngee Ann Primary School follows MOE's annual Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases based on the applicant's connection to the school.
Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled at the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parent is a member of the school advisory or management committee, an alumni member, or a staff member. Phase 2B is for children whose parent has volunteered at the school or whose parent is an active community or church leader endorsed by the school. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizen and permanent resident children who do not qualify under earlier phases.
If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, balloting is conducted. Priority in balloting is given first to Singapore citizens, then to permanent residents, with home-to-school distance (within 1 km, between 1 and 2 km, and beyond 2 km) used as a further tiebreaker. Applications are submitted online through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated registration window each year. Parents considering a mid-year transfer should contact the school directly for availability.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Ngee Ann Primary School follows the MOE syllabus across all core subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), and Mother Tongue Languages — Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, including higher-level options for advanced learners and foundation-level support where needed.
In Mathematics, the school has produced strong results in both the PSLE and external competitions. Students have earned Silver medals at the Asia-Pacific Math Olympiad for Primary Schools (2024) and multiple awards in the National Mathematical Olympiad and the Singapore Primary Science Olympiad (2023). The E2K Mathematics Programme provides additional depth for students with high aptitude in the subject, while the STEM-focused ALP integrates mathematical reasoning into applied, project-based work.
Technology is used across classrooms to support interactive and collaborative learning. The curriculum places emphasis on problem-solving skills and real-world application rather than rote memorisation, which helps build a strong foundation ahead of the PSLE. For families seeking additional structured support in mathematics outside of school, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary-level MOE syllabus.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The school campus includes interactive classrooms fitted with smart boards, a well-stocked library, dedicated STEM laboratories for hands-on experimentation, and outdoor learning spaces including eco-gardens linked to the Sustainable Green ALP.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are available across several categories. For younger students in Primary 1 to 3, modular CCA options allow them to sample different activities without a long-term commitment. From Primary 4 onwards, students select from a wider range of options.
Sports offerings include Badminton, Football, Track and Field, and Wushu. In the performing arts, students can join the Chinese Orchestra, Choir, Dance ensembles, or the Guzheng Ensemble. Uniformed groups such as Scouts and Brownies develop leadership and discipline. Clubs and societies — including Infocomm Technology (Media Production), Art and Crafts, and the ELDT programme (Experience Language, Discovering Talent), which covers drama, debate, and public speaking — round out the CCA options.
Student Life and School Culture
School culture at Ngee Ann Primary is guided by core values that emphasise resilience, compassion, and community responsibility. The Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculum addresses social-emotional competencies and global awareness, while Values-in-Action projects give students opportunities to contribute to the wider community.
Student leadership is developed at multiple levels. Students can serve as prefects or CCA leaders, with structured training programmes that build communication and organisational skills. The school also runs level-wide responsibilities starting from the lower primary years, progressively expanding the scope of leadership as students mature.
The Parent Support Group (PSG), established in 1999, plays an active role in school life. It organises parenting workshops and supports school events, fostering a close partnership between families and the school.
The school's uniform policy requires students to wear the prescribed uniform without modification. Uniforms are available for purchase from the designated supplier, Chin Bee Pte Ltd, at 153 Kampong Ampat.

Phases 2A and 2B cover alumni connections, parent volunteers, and community or church leaders. Phase 2C is open to all remaining applicants. If any phase is oversubscribed, balloting takes place with priority given by citizenship status and home-to-school distance. Applications are submitted online through the MOE portal.
What are the chances of getting into Phase 2C at Ngee Ann Primary School?
Phase 2C outcomes depend on the number of applicants relative to remaining vacancies after earlier phases. When oversubscribed, balloting prioritises Singapore citizens living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those beyond 2 km. Permanent residents follow in the same distance order. Parents can check MOE's published vacancy and balloting data from previous years to estimate demand.
