What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Pasir Ris 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 Pasir Ris 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
Pasir Ris Primary School (PRPS) is a government co-educational primary school that commenced operations on 4 January 1993. The school initially operated from a holding site before relocating to its permanent campus at 5 Pasir Ris Street 21 later that year. It was officially opened on 8 July 1995 and has since served the Pasir Ris residential community for over three decades.
The school operates as a single-session institution and follows the standard MOE primary curriculum. PRPS is guided by a learner profile built around four qualities: Passionate Learners, Critical Thinkers, Compassionate Leaders, and Responsible Advocates. This framework shapes the school's approach to character education and academic instruction across all levels from Primary 1 to Primary 6.
PRPS places strong emphasis on bilingual education, with Mother Tongue offerings in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil alongside English. The school runs two signature programmes: an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) titled D2C@PRPS — Discover, Dream and Create Possibilities — which focuses on Innovation and Enterprise, and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) called E3 in Sports@PRPS, centred on sports and outdoor education. As a non-SAP school, it serves a diverse student population from the surrounding neighbourhood.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Pasir Ris Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online across several phases each year.
Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled in the school. Phase 2A provides priority to children whose parents are alumni, school staff, or members of the school advisory committee. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who have an established connection to the community or church associated with the school. Phase 2C is the open registration phase available to all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. A supplementary Phase 2C round follows if places remain unfilled.
When the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, balloting is conducted. Priority in balloting is determined by citizenship status and home-to-school distance, with Singapore Citizens living within 1 km of the school given first priority, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those living beyond 2 km.
Parents considering registration should refer to the MOE Primary 1 registration portal for the latest dates, eligibility criteria, and vacancy information for each phase.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Pasir Ris Primary School delivers the MOE primary curriculum across all core subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Students sit for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) at the end of Primary 6, with results reported using the Achievement Level scoring system.
The Mathematics curriculum at PRPS follows the MOE syllabus and emphasises logical reasoning, problem-solving, and practical application of concepts. Instruction is structured to build progressively from foundational numeracy in the lower primary years to more complex topics such as fractions, ratios, and geometry in the upper primary levels. Parents who are looking for additional support in Mathematics may consider supplementary tuition; DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus.
The school's Applied Learning Programme, D2C@PRPS, integrates elements of design thinking and technology with academic subjects. Through hands-on projects, students apply knowledge from Mathematics, Science, and other disciplines to real-world problem-solving scenarios. This programme runs across all levels and is designed to develop creativity and an enterprising mindset.
PRPS has participated in holistic assessment practices aligned with MOE guidelines since 2006, reflecting a broader approach to evaluating student progress that goes beyond examination scores alone.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The PRPS campus underwent the Programme for Rebuilding and Improving Existing Schools (PRIME) upgrading in 2003, which modernised the school's physical infrastructure. The campus includes standard primary school facilities such as classrooms, a school library, science rooms, computer laboratories, and outdoor playing fields.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are an integral part of student life at PRPS, with options spanning sports, performing arts, clubs, and uniformed groups. The full list of CCAs includes:
Sports: Netball (Girls), Football (Boys), Taekwondo, Wushu, Floorball, and Rope Skipping.
Performing Arts: Choir, Guzheng Ensemble, Cultural Dance, and Speech and Drama.
Clubs: International Chess, Art and Crafts, and Infocomm Technology (Media Production).
Outdoor Education: The Outdoor Adventure CCA complements the school's Learning for Life Programme (E3 in Sports@PRPS) and provides students with opportunities for team-building and leadership development through outdoor activities.
CCA participation is encouraged from Primary 3 onwards, and the range of activities allows students to explore interests in physical fitness, the arts, strategic thinking, and digital media.
Student Life and School Culture
Life at Pasir Ris Primary School is shaped by the school's emphasis on values-driven education and holistic development. The four pillars of the learner profile — Passionate Learners, Critical Thinkers, Compassionate Leaders, and Responsible Advocates — are woven into daily school routines, assembly programmes, and student interactions.
The Learning for Life Programme, E3 in Sports@PRPS, uses sports and outdoor education as a platform for character building. Through activities such as inter-class games, outdoor camps, and adventure challenges, students develop qualities like resilience, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility.
Parent involvement is supported through the Parent Support Group (PSG), which partners with the school on various events and learning activities. Parents who join as volunteers may also gain eligibility for Phase 2B priority during the Primary 1 registration exercise.
The school marked its 30th anniversary in 2023, a milestone that reflects its established presence within the Pasir Ris community. As a neighbourhood school with a stable enrolment base, PRPS provides a familiar and supportive environment for families living in the eastern part of Singapore.
