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 Seng Kang 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 Seng Kang 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

Seng Kang Primary School opened on 3 January 1997, making it the inaugural primary school in Sengkang New Town. The school began with 327 pupils and 23 staff members at the former Hai Seng Girls' High School site on Upper Serangoon Road, before moving to its permanent 1.8-hectare campus at 21 Compassvale Walk in 1998. In 2022, the school marked its 25th anniversary under the theme "Appreciate, Aspire, Achieve," a milestone that also reflected the school community's perseverance through the COVID-19 period.

The school operates as a government co-educational, single-session institution. Its guiding philosophy centres on the belief that every child has the capacity to learn and contribute. The core values of graciousness, integrity, confidence, and resilience underpin daily school life, while the school's vision seeks to develop pupils into inventive thinkers, confident leaders, and gracious citizens.

Two signature programmes shape the school's distinctive character. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Enhanced Spoken Languages focuses on building effective communication skills, while the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Sports and Outdoor Education develops values and leadership through physical activity. The school also supports inclusive education through features such as barrier-free access and P1 TRANSIT, a programme that provides individualised support for pupils with social and behavioural needs.

Admission Process

Admission to Primary 1 at Seng Kang Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual P1 Registration Exercise, which typically runs from July to August. The exercise is conducted online and is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.

Registration proceeds through a series of phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already studying at the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are alumni, school staff, or members of an affiliated organisation. Phase 2B is for children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by a community or religious organisation connected to the school. Phase 2C is open to all remaining Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, followed by a supplementary Phase 2C if places remain.

If the number of applications in any phase exceeds available places, balloting is conducted. Priority during balloting is given based on home-to-school distance, with children living within 1 km of the school given first priority, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. Singapore Citizens are also prioritised ahead of Permanent Residents within each distance band.

For families considering transfer admissions or mid-year entry, it is advisable to contact the school's general office directly for guidance on available places.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

Seng Kang Primary School follows the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil). Additional subjects such as Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies are part of every pupil's timetable. Foundation and Standard levels are available in core subjects at the upper primary level, and Higher Mother Tongue is offered to eligible pupils in Primary 5 and 6.

The school places emphasis on building strong foundational skills across all subjects. For PSLE preparation, the structured approach includes timed practice sessions, preliminary examinations, and the P6 iLift remedial programme, which provides additional support for pupils who need it. The curriculum is supplemented by programmes such as Week of Wonder and learning journeys that bring subjects to life beyond the classroom.

In 2022, the school's MakerSpace was officially opened, providing a dedicated space for pupils to engage in hands-on STEM activities including robotics and prototyping. The school has also produced strong results in mathematics-related competitions, with pupils earning awards in multiple events during 2022. For families seeking additional structured support in mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary school syllabus, which some parents in the Sengkang community have found helpful alongside the school's own curriculum.

Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities

The campus at Compassvale Walk includes a range of facilities designed to support both academic learning and physical development. These include a well-equipped library, science and computer laboratories, a specialised mathematics lab, and the MakerSpace for STEM exploration. Outdoor spaces comprise a field, basketball court, and playgrounds, while barrier-free access throughout the campus supports pupils with physical needs.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are available from Primary 3 onwards and take place on Fridays from 7.30 a.m. to 9.00 a.m. The programme is organised across four categories. Sports and Games options include badminton, basketball, netball, and hockey. Performing Arts encompasses choir, dance, and drama. Uniformed Groups such as Scouts and Girl Guides focus on discipline and community responsibility. Clubs and Societies cover areas like robotics and art and crafts.

The Robotics CCA has been a particularly strong performer, achieving third place at the Asia Pacific Youth Robotics Competition in 2014 and sweeping the top three positions at the 2025 IDE Series Sprint. Primary 1 and 2 pupils participate in foundational enrichment activities before selecting a formal CCA in Primary 3.

Student Life and School Culture

Daily school hours begin at 7.30 a.m., with pupils expected to arrive by 7.25 a.m. for assembly. Dismissal is around 1.30 p.m. for most levels, with Primary 1 and 2 pupils released slightly earlier at 1.25 p.m. Recess and snack breaks are built into the timetable, and pupils are advised not to arrive at school before 6.45 a.m.

The school's character development framework is rooted in Positive Education, which aims to build emotional resilience and a growth mindset in pupils. Programmes in cyber wellness, social-emotional learning, and values education are woven into the school week. Events such as the Positive Living Carnival give younger pupils opportunities to explore well-being themes through hands-on activities.

Parent engagement is a valued part of school life. The Parent Support Group (PSG) organises family bonding events, reading programmes, and recess activities, and supports school celebrations throughout the year. All parents are considered members of the PSG and are welcome to volunteer. Parent-Child-Teacher Conferences provide regular touchpoints for discussing each child's progress.

After-school care is provided through YMCA student care services located on campus. Families interested in enrolment can contact the school office for current registration details.
