How DeepThink supports Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Singapore Chinese 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
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 Singapore Chinese 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 Singapore Chinese 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
Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary School (SCGPS) traces its origins to 1 July 1899, when prominent Straits-born Chinese community figures — including Dr. Lim Boon Keng and Song Ong Siang — established it on Hill Street with an initial cohort of just seven students. Their aim was to provide girls with access to formal education during a period when such opportunities were scarce. The school transitioned to government-aided status in 1949, broadening its reach and laying the groundwork for the institution it has become.
As a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school, SCGPS places strong emphasis on bilingualism, with English as the medium of instruction and Chinese (including Higher Chinese) as a core component. The school's guiding values — integrity, resilience, and empathy — are woven into daily school life. Its educational approach centres on inquiry-based learning and thoughtful use of technology across the classroom.
SCGPS operates two signature programmes. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Languages uses storytelling and narratives as a lens through which students explore culture and social change. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Music and Performing Arts, known as SC-ArtFUL, develops creativity and self-expression through sustained engagement with the arts. Both programmes run alongside the standard MOE primary curriculum.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at SCGPS follows the MOE P1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online through the MOE portal each year. Parents will need to prepare supporting documents such as the child's birth certificate and proof of residential address.
The registration exercise proceeds through several phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently enrolled at the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are alumni, staff members, or who have an affiliation with the school's advisory or management committee. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who have connections through a church or clan directly associated with the school. Phase 2C is for all other applicants, with places allocated based on home-to-school distance — priority goes to Singapore citizens living within 1 km, then within 1 to 2 km, and then beyond 2 km.
Balloting takes place in any phase where the number of applications exceeds available places. Parents can refer to the MOE website for the latest registration timeline and historical balloting data for SCGPS.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The SCGPS curriculum follows MOE guidelines and covers English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. As a SAP school, students study Chinese Language or Higher Chinese as their mother tongue, with Malay Language and Tamil Language also available.
The Mathematics programme emphasises logical reasoning, problem-solving strategies, and the application of mathematical concepts to practical situations. Students who demonstrate strong aptitude in mathematics have access to enrichment opportunities, including training for competitions such as the National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS) and the Singapore Primary Science Olympiad (SPSO). At the 2023 NMOS, SCGPS students earned 7 Bronze medals and 18 Honourable Mentions. In the same year's SPSO, students achieved 1 Silver, 1 Bronze, and 1 Merit award.
For families seeking additional support in mathematics beyond what the school provides, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary and PSLE Mathematics syllabus.
The school's bilingual emphasis extends beyond language classes — cultural appreciation is integrated across subjects through the ALP in Languages, which uses narratives as a framework for exploring heritage and identity. Higher Chinese is offered to students who are ready for a more advanced study of the language.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
SCGPS is situated at 190 Dunearn Road. The campus includes air-conditioned classrooms fitted with interactive display technology, a library with bilingual resources, and dedicated spaces for STEM-related hands-on learning. Outdoor areas provide room for physical activity and play.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are an integral part of school life and are available across four broad categories. In sports, students can participate in Badminton, Tennis, and Artistic Gymnastics. Performing arts options include Choir, String Ensemble, Handbell Ensemble, Modern Dance, and English Drama. The Brownies (Girl Guides) programme serves as the school's uniformed group, developing leadership and community responsibility. Clubs and societies cover Art and Crafts, Chinese Culture and Language, Robotics, and Infocomm Technology.
The Robotics Club, in particular, gives students an opportunity to apply mathematical and logical thinking in a practical context — programming and building devices that solve set challenges. CCA participation is designed to complement classroom learning and contribute to students' overall development.
Student Life and School Culture
SCGPS is an all-girls school, serving students from Primary 1 through Primary 6. The single-gender environment is central to the school's identity, reflecting its founding purpose of providing dedicated educational opportunities for girls.
The school's culture is shaped by its SAP heritage and emphasis on bilingualism. Students are immersed in both English and Chinese throughout their school experience — not only in formal classes but also through cultural programmes, events, and the daily school environment. The SC-ArtFUL programme (LLP in Music and Performing Arts) is a distinctive feature, giving every student sustained exposure to the performing arts as a means of building confidence and creative expression.
SCGPS provides support for students with special educational needs through dedicated Special Educational Needs Officers and a P1 TRANSIT programme that addresses social and behavioural development. The school is affiliated with Singapore Chinese Girls' School (secondary section), providing a pathway for students who wish to continue within the SCGS family.
The school is located at 190 Dunearn Road, Singapore 309437. It can be reached by phone at 6252 7966 or by email at [email protected].
