Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Pei Hwa Presbyterian 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 Pei Hwa Presbyterian 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
Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School traces its origins to 1889, when preacher Joseph Koh established the "Road End Free School" to provide free education to underserved children in Singapore. The school became affiliated with Glory Presbyterian Church and was renamed Pei Hwa School in 1922. It closed during World War II, reopened in 1945, received Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status in 1992, and adopted its current name in 1995. The school marked its 130th anniversary in 2019.
As an MOE-designated SAP school, Pei Hwa places particular emphasis on bilingualism in English and Chinese, alongside bicultural understanding. The school's vision centres on developing students of character with a desire to learn and a heart to serve, expressed in its Chinese motto 乐学乐善, 以德为先. It operates as a government-aided, co-educational, single-session primary school, guided by Christian principles including integrity, respect, and service. The school offers Chinese Language, Higher Chinese Language, and Foundation Chinese Language as mother tongue options for students from Primary 1 through Primary 6.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual Primary One Registration Exercise, which is conducted online through the MOE portal. Registration proceeds in phases determined by the applicant's connection to the school: Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings already enrolled, while Phase 2A applies to children of alumni or those connected to the school through church membership or parent volunteerism.
Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by community or church leaders. Phase 2C is available to all Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children without a prior connection to the school. When applications in any phase exceed available places, balloting is conducted, with priority given to families living within one kilometre of the school, then within two kilometres.
Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School does not have a direct affiliation with any secondary school. After the PSLE, students may apply to secondary schools through the MOE posting exercise or the Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme based on talents developed during their primary years. Parents should consult the MOE website each year for updated registration timelines and documentation requirements.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The curriculum at Pei Hwa covers the standard MOE primary school subjects: English Language, Chinese Language (including Higher Chinese and Foundation Chinese), Mathematics (including Foundation Mathematics), Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. As a SAP school, there is a strong curricular emphasis on Chinese language proficiency and bicultural awareness across all levels.
The school runs an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focused on STEM, which integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts into hands-on learning activities. Students engage in projects that connect classroom content to practical applications, including activities involving augmented reality and collaborative problem-solving tasks. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) centres on sports and outdoor education through the STAR framework — Self-defence, Track and Field, Adventure, and Racquet games — which develops physical fitness, resilience, and teamwork.
From Primary 4, there is increased focus on preparing students for the PSLE across all core subjects. The teaching approach is inquiry-based and student-centred, encouraging pupils to build conceptual understanding rather than rely on rote memorisation. For families seeking additional support in mathematics beyond the school curriculum, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus.
