What your child gets at DeepThink

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at St. Gabriel's 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 St. Gabriel's 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
St. Gabriel's Primary School is a government-aided Catholic boys' school that traces its origins to 3 June 1953, when it first opened at Hillside Drive and Upper Serangoon Road with an initial enrolment of 212 pupils. The school moved to Highland Road in 1969 before settling at its present Lorong Chuan campus in 1988. Archbishop Gregory Yong blessed the current premises in 1989.
As part of the Gabrielite family of schools in Singapore, the institution draws its educational philosophy from the teachings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort. Its motto, "Labor Omnia Vincit" (Labour Conquers All), underscores a belief that effort and determination are central to personal growth. The school seeks to develop boys who are God-loving, disciplined, and contributing members of society, guided by eight core virtues: Loyalty, Orderliness, Respect, Diligence, Self-discipline, Generosity, Perseverance, and Sincerity — collectively abbreviated as LORD SGPS.
Admission Process
Enrolment at St. Gabriel's Primary School follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is carried out across several phases: Phase 1, Phase 2A, Phase 2B, Phase 2C, and Phase 2C Supplementary.
In Phase 1, siblings of students currently attending the school are guaranteed a place. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are staff members or board members, as well as those from alumni associations. Phase 2B gives consideration to children whose parents have served as parent volunteers or are members of the church directly connected with the school. Phases 2C and 2C Supplementary are open to all children who do not qualify under the earlier phases.
Registration is completed online through the MOE P1 Registration Portal. When the number of applicants in a given phase exceeds available vacancies, places are allocated through a balloting process. In such cases, Singapore citizens are given priority over permanent residents. Parents should refer to the MOE website for the latest eligibility criteria, timelines, and vacancy information.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic programme at St. Gabriel's Primary School covers the MOE syllabus for English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil). Instruction in Mother Tongue Languages supports bilingual development and cultural awareness in line with national education policy.
The school runs the Louis Marie de Montfort class, a programme designed for students who demonstrate strong academic aptitude and benefit from an accelerated or enriched learning experience. Inquiry Week is another distinctive feature of the school's approach — a dedicated period during which pupils engage in hands-on, question-driven projects that develop curiosity and analytical thinking across subject areas.
Bridging programmes are available for students who need additional support in particular subjects, helping them build confidence and close gaps in understanding. Structured revision and guided practice sessions prepare pupils progressively for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
Parents looking for additional Mathematics support outside of school may consider DeepThink, a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary Mathematics syllabus.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Lorong Chuan campus features an Indoor Sports Hall, specialised rooms for band practice, dance, and music, as well as outdoor play areas designed for active learning. A Student Care Centre on site serves families who require after-school supervision and structured activities for their children. The campus includes barrier-free access features such as ramps and accessible restrooms.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) span sports, performing arts, and clubs. Sporting options include badminton, floorball, and football. The performing arts programme encompasses a choir and a concert band. The Catholic Club provides a space for pupils to explore spiritual development and practise virtues rooted in the school's Montfortian identity.
Modular CCAs are offered to younger students, giving them the opportunity to sample different activities before committing to a main CCA in the upper primary years. This approach encourages broad exploration and helps pupils identify their interests and strengths over time.
Student Life and School Culture
Daily life at St. Gabriel's Primary School is shaped by its Catholic identity. Morning prayers are held during assemblies, and monthly masses take place in the Chapel of St. Louis Marie de Montfort. Marian devotions are observed during May and October. Non-Catholic pupils may attend Religious Education classes as an alternative.
Character formation is woven into the school day through lessons and activities centred on the eight LORD SGPS virtues. Stories drawn from the life and teachings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort serve as reference points for discussing values such as generosity, perseverance, and respect for others.
Parent involvement is supported through the Parent Volunteer Scheme, which runs from August to June each year and offers families a way to contribute to school events and community building. The annual Open House gives prospective parents a firsthand look at the school environment and programmes.
The Gabrielite Choir participates in public performances, including National Day celebrations, reflecting the school's emphasis on civic participation alongside personal development.
