About Rulang Primary School
Rulang Primary School’s story is one of resilience and evolution, deeply rooted in Singapore’s educational heritage. Founded in 1930 as Joo Long Public School in a modest shophouse along Jurong Road, it began as a humble initiative to provide basic education to village children under the leadership of Mr. Yak Woh Hoon.

How DeepThink supports Rulang Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Rulang 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 Rulang 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 Rulang 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
Rulang Primary School traces its origins to 1930, when it opened as Joo Long Public School in a shophouse on Jurong Road under the leadership of Mr. Yak Woh Hoon. The school served village children in the area before transitioning to a government school in 1984 and adopting its present name — derived from the Malay word for "soft" or "gentle," reflecting the neighbourhood's heritage. The school moved to its current site in 1985 and opened a new purpose-built campus in 2013.
Rulang operates as a co-educational government primary school with Special Assistance Plan (SAP) status, which places particular emphasis on bilingual education in English and Chinese. The school is affiliated with the Ministry of Education and follows a values-centred approach that prioritises character development alongside academic learning. Its Learning for Life Programme (LLP), known as STRIVE @ Rulang, uses sports and outdoor education to build qualities such as resilience and responsibility. The school also runs an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM, focused on transportation and robotics, and participates in the Accelerated Education Programme (AEP) for students with strong aptitude in mathematics and science.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Rulang Primary School follows the MOE phased admission framework. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled at the school. Phase 2A provides priority for children of former students and staff. Phase 2B covers children of parent volunteers who have completed at least 40 hours of service, as well as children endorsed by community or church leaders. Phase 2C is open to all remaining Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident applicants.
Within Phases 2B and 2C, places are allocated based on home-to-school distance, with priority given to families living within 1 km of the school, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, a ballot is conducted. All applications are submitted through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated window each year. Parents should prepare supporting documents including the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Rulang Primary School delivers the standard MOE primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil at standard, higher, and foundation levels), Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. As a SAP school, Chinese language instruction receives additional emphasis.
The school has a strong track record in Mathematics. Its participation in the Accelerated Education Programme (AEP) provides enriched mathematics and science content for students identified as having high ability in these areas, with a focus on inquiry-based learning and problem-solving. In the 2011 PSLE, Rulang student Yasmin Ziqin binte Mohamad Yousoof achieved the highest national score of 283. Students regularly perform well in external competitions — notably, Primary 5 student Khong Ka Hoi received the Outstanding Award at the 2023 Primary Mathematics Project Competition for his game "MATHEMETRIS," which combined mathematical concepts with interactive design.
The Applied Learning Programme in STEM centres on transportation and robotics, giving students practical exposure to coding, algorithm design, and sustainable engineering. These programmes complement the core mathematics syllabus by encouraging students to apply numerical and logical reasoning to real-world problems. For families seeking additional support in building a strong mathematics foundation during the primary years, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned with the MOE primary syllabus.

Performing arts options comprise Chinese Orchestra, choir, Chinese dance, and Malay dance. Uniform groups such as Scouts and Girl Guides develop leadership and community responsibility. Clubs including Robotics and Environmental Science offer students opportunities in technology and civic engagement. The Robotics CCA in particular reinforces mathematical thinking through geometry and logic applications, while the Infocomm Technology club covers coding and media production.
Student Life and School Culture
School culture at Rulang is shaped by its emphasis on bilingualism, character development, and active learning. The STRIVE @ Rulang programme integrates sports and outdoor education into the broader school experience, with the aim of fostering perseverance, teamwork, and personal responsibility in students from Primary 1 through Primary 6.
