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 Riverside 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 Riverside 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
Riverside Primary School is a co-educational government primary school located at 110 Woodlands Crescent, Singapore 737803. It was established in 2013 and officially opened in 2016, serving families in the north-western part of Singapore. The school operates on a single-session model.
The school's educational approach is guided by MOE's desired outcomes of education, aiming to develop confident individuals, self-directed learners, active contributors, and concerned citizens. Riverside's core values, known as the "Sparkle Values," centre on Kindness and Perseverance, which are woven into its programmes and daily routines. The school supports bilingual education in English alongside Chinese, Malay, and Tamil as Mother Tongue Languages.
Two signature programmes define much of the school's identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP), titled "Playworks: Nurturing Critical and Inventive Thinkers," takes an interdisciplinary approach to STEM learning, using play-based activities, games, and hands-on projects to develop problem-solving skills. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), called "PeerWorks: Building Self, Supporting One Another, Serving the Community Together," focuses on student leadership and community service. Riverside is not a SAP school, and its curriculum integrates technology such as interactive whiteboards and inquiry-based methods across subject areas.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Riverside Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases each year. Phase 1 is reserved for children with siblings already enrolled at the school. Phase 2A is open to children of alumni and those with connections to the school through staff or advisory committee membership. Phase 2B accommodates children whose parents volunteer at the school or are members of community organisations connected to it. Phase 2C is the open phase for all Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident children who do not qualify under earlier phases. A supplementary Phase 2C round follows for any remaining places.
If applications in any phase exceed available spots, places are allocated through a balloting process. Distance from the school — within 1 km or between 1 km and 2 km — is a factor in the ballot priority for Phases 2B and 2C.
Once a place is secured, parents complete several administrative steps including the MOE Student Details Form, the school's own information form, Edusave Standing Order, and GIRO arrangements for fee payment. Families who need financial support may apply for the MOE Financial Assistance Scheme. Information on vacancies and registration timelines is published on the MOE SchoolFinder website ahead of each registration cycle.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Riverside Primary School follows the national MOE syllabus. Core subjects at the lower primary level include English Language, Mathematics, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil), Social Studies, Physical Education, Art, Music, and Character and Citizenship Education. At the upper primary level, Science is introduced and students prepare for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). Under the current PSLE scoring system, students receive Achievement Level scores for each subject, with subjects offered at Standard, Foundation, or Higher Mother Tongue levels depending on individual ability.
The school's Playworks ALP programme supplements the core curriculum by embedding STEM-oriented, play-based learning into regular lessons. Activities include designing and building projects, coding exercises, and collaborative problem-solving tasks that aim to develop critical and inventive thinking. The school also uses P1 textbooks and workbooks such as STELLAR materials for English and Primary Mathematics resources for numeracy.
For families looking to give their children additional support in mathematics beyond what the school provides, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary mathematics syllabus, covering topics tested at PSLE.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Riverside Primary School's campus features air-conditioned classrooms equipped with interactive technology, a library with both physical and digital resources, and dedicated spaces for STEM activities and hands-on learning. The school grounds include outdoor learning areas and eco-gardens used for environmental education. The campus is barrier-free and staffed with Special Educational Needs Officers to support students who require additional assistance.

Performing arts offerings comprise Choir, String Ensemble, Modern Dance, and English Drama. Clubs available include Art and Crafts, Robotics, Environmental Science, and Home Economics. CCA participation begins at the primary level and is intended to build teamwork, discipline, and broader interests alongside academic learning.
Student Life and School Culture
The school promotes a culture built around its Sparkle Values of Kindness and Perseverance, supported by Character and Citizenship Education programmes that run across all levels. The PeerWorks LLP encourages students to take on leadership roles and participate in community service projects, developing a sense of responsibility toward others.
For incoming Primary 1 students, Riverside runs a P1 TRANSIT programme designed to ease the transition from preschool to formal schooling. This programme addresses social, emotional, and behavioural needs during the early weeks and helps children adjust to new routines and expectations.
The school canteen operates under the Healthy Meals in Schools Programme (HMSP), offering set meals such as Soto, Mee Rebus, and other balanced options at prices ranging from $1.80 to $2.00. Parents may also choose to pack meals for their children.
School bus services are available, and parents can submit requests via the school's transport forms for the upcoming academic year. Public transport and walking from nearby residential areas in Woodlands are also common options. The school can be contacted at 6365 4490 or by email at [email protected].
