What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Sembawang 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 Sembawang 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
Sembawang Primary School began operations on 4 January 1999 as the first primary school in the Sembawang residential estate. It opened with 925 pupils spread across 28 classes and runs as a single-session, co-educational government school. The school was officially inaugurated on 20 April 2002 and marked its 25th anniversary in 2024 with a time capsule ceremony.
Guided by the motto "Future-Ready Learners, Rooted in Values," the school places emphasis on bilingualism, character formation, and developing students who can adapt to a changing world. Its philosophy centres on the belief that every child can succeed, and it seeks to nurture reflective, compassionate individuals.
Sembawang Primary is not a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school. Mother tongue languages offered include Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, with both foundation and higher levels available to accommodate varying proficiencies.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Sembawang Primary School follows the standard MOE phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already enrolled. Phase 2A applies to children of alumni or those with connections to the school. Phase 2B covers parent volunteers, while Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents without prior ties to the school. If applications in any phase exceed available places, a balloting exercise is conducted.
Parents register online through the MOE Primary 1 registration portal during the designated window for each phase. Required documents typically include the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address. Historical vacancy and balloting data for the school can be found on the MOE SchoolFinder website.
As a government school, there are no tuition fees for Singapore citizens. Miscellaneous fees apply. Permanent residents and international students pay fees according to MOE's published fee schedule, which parents can verify using the MOE fees calculator.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The curriculum at Sembawang Primary covers English, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Social Studies, Physical Education, Art, Music, and Character and Citizenship Education. The school's approach integrates experiential learning and technology to make lessons more engaging for primary-aged children.
Two signature programmes shape the school's academic identity. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) focuses on STEM and sustainability through a framework called LEAF (Leading Environmental Action for the Future). Through LEAF, students work on hands-on projects that apply mathematical and scientific concepts to environmental topics such as eco-modelling and data collection. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Community Service and Student Leadership, titled "Future-Ready Leaders," develops initiative and empathy through structured leadership opportunities beginning in Primary 1.
For pupils with strong aptitude in mathematics, the school runs the E2K Mathematics Programme. This enrichment track uses inquiry-based methods, interactive tools, and collaborative problem-solving to stretch students beyond the standard syllabus. The 2024 Primary 6 cohort achieved a 97% qualification rate for secondary school placement through the PSLE.
Parents looking for additional support in mathematics outside school hours may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes designed to complement the MOE primary mathematics syllabus.
