Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Raffles Girls' 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
Raffles Girls' Primary School has a Gifted Education Programme (GEP) — GEP students receive enrichment-level support that goes beyond the standard PSLE syllabus

What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Raffles Girls' 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 Raffles Girls' 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
Raffles Girls' Primary School (RGPS) has its roots in 1844, when formal education for girls began under the Raffles Institution. It became a standalone primary school in 1959 and has since been a key member of the Raffles family of schools. In 2003, RGPS was among the first primary schools to receive the Singapore Quality Class Award, and it has also earned the School Excellence Award for its commitment to student development.
The school operates as a government girls' school serving Primary 1 to Primary 6 students. Its guiding values are captured in the acronym LCGRI — Learning, Creativity, Graciousness, Responsibility, and Integrity — and its motto is "Knowledge Begets Success." RGPS places strong emphasis on bilingualism, inquiry-based learning, and the use of technology in the classroom.
RGPS is one of the designated centres for the Gifted Education Programme (GEP), which caters to high-ability learners from Primary 4 to Primary 6. The school also runs an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focused on developing confident communicators through interactive projects, and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) centred on collaborative music making and the performing arts.
Admission Process
Enrolment at RGPS follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which takes place online between July and August each year for children born within the eligible age range. The exercise is conducted across multiple phases, with earlier phases reserved for families with existing ties to the school — such as siblings currently enrolled, or parents who are alumni or staff members.
Phase 2C is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who do not qualify for earlier phases. Applications are submitted through the MOE P1 Registration portal during the designated window. Parents are required to provide their home address, as distance from the school is a factor in placement.
If applications in any phase exceed the number of available places, a computerised balloting process is used. Priority in balloting is determined first by home-school distance (within 1 km, 1 to 2 km, or beyond 2 km), with Singapore Citizens given precedence over Permanent Residents. Parents can review historical vacancy data on the MOE website to assess demand patterns before applying.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The RGPS curriculum covers the core MOE subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil), and Science from Primary 3 onwards. Additional subjects include Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Students with strong language ability may take Higher Chinese, Higher Malay, or Higher Tamil.
Mathematics receives particular attention at RGPS. The school offers enrichment programmes such as Math E2K and Math Olympiad preparation, both of which are woven into the broader curriculum. These programmes develop problem-solving skills and introduce students to mathematical reasoning beyond the standard syllabus. Students from RGPS regularly participate in national mathematics competitions.
The GEP track provides an enriched curriculum for identified high-ability learners from Primary 4, covering core subjects at greater depth. Meanwhile, the ALP builds communication and critical thinking skills through project-based learning, and the LLP gives all students opportunities to participate in music ensembles and performances.
For families looking to supplement their child's mathematics learning with additional support, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned with the MOE primary syllabus, which some RGPS parents have found useful for building confidence and exam readiness.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The RGPS campus is located at 21 Hillcrest Road in the Bukit Timah area. The school grounds include interactive classrooms fitted with smart boards, a library, science laboratories, and dedicated spaces for enrichment activities. Outdoor areas such as playgrounds and green spaces are available for physical activity, alongside courts for sports like badminton and basketball.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are offered across several categories, with more than 15 options available to students:
Sports: Badminton, Basketball, Softball, Table Tennis, and Rhythmic Gymnastics.
Uniformed Groups: Girls' Brigade and Girl Guides (Brownies).
Performing Arts: Choir, String Ensemble, Chinese Dance, English Drama, and Concert Band.
Clubs: Art and Crafts, and International Chess.
The International Chess club is notable for developing logical reasoning and strategic thinking alongside the academic programme. CCA participation is designed to complement classroom learning and support students' social and personal development.
Student Life and School Culture
As a single-gender school, RGPS aims to create an environment where girls can develop confidence and leadership from an early age. The school's values framework — Learning, Creativity, Graciousness, Responsibility, and Integrity — shapes daily routines, interactions, and school programmes.
Holistic development is a stated priority. Beyond academics and CCAs, the school provides support through special educational needs officers for students requiring social-behavioural assistance. Parent engagement is encouraged through school-organised activities and resources.
School hours during term time run from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. During term breaks, hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A school bus service is available through the designated operator (contact: +65 6747 7246), and the campus is also accessible by public transport.
Many RGPS graduates go on to Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) or Raffles Institution, continuing within the Raffles family of schools at the secondary level.
