Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at St. Margaret's School (Primary)?
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. Margaret's School (Primary).
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. Margaret's School (Primary) is a government-aided girls' primary school with deep roots in Singapore's educational landscape. Founded as a mission school, it operates under the guidance of Christian values while welcoming students of all backgrounds. The school runs as a single-session institution, meaning all pupils attend classes during the same half of the day.
As an all-girls school, St. Margaret's Primary focuses on nurturing confident and resilient young women through a balanced programme of academics, character education, and co-curricular involvement. The school is affiliated with St. Margaret's Secondary School, which provides a familiar pathway for students continuing their education after Primary 6. Its location and established reputation have made it a popular choice among families in the central region of Singapore.
Admission Process
Entry to St. Margaret's School (Primary) at Primary 1 follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases each year. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently studying at the school. Phase 2A gives priority to children whose parents or siblings are alumni of the school, as well as those with certain affiliations such as membership of the school's advisory or management committee, or children of staff.
Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by the church directly connected to the school. Phase 2C and Phase 2C Supplementary are for all remaining Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases. If applications in any phase exceed available vacancies, places are allocated through a balloting process, with priority given to citizens over permanent residents and to families living within 1 km of the school.
Registration is conducted online through the MOE Primary 1 registration portal. Parents should refer to the MOE website for the latest dates, eligibility criteria, and vacancy information for each phase.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
St. Margaret's School (Primary) delivers the national primary curriculum set by MOE, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Mother Tongue options include Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, with Higher Mother Tongue variants available for students who demonstrate strong aptitude in their respective languages.
The curriculum is structured to build a solid academic foundation across six years, preparing students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) at the end of Primary 6. Subjects such as Mathematics and Science are taught with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills rather than rote memorisation. From Primary 5, students take subjects at Standard or Foundation level under the Subject-Based Banding system, allowing each child to learn at a pace suited to her ability.
For families seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond the classroom, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that provides structured programmes aligned to the MOE primary syllabus, helping students strengthen their problem-solving skills and build confidence in the subject.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The school campus includes standard MOE primary school facilities such as classrooms, a library, science rooms, computer labs, an indoor sports hall, a school field, and a canteen. These provide a functional environment for both academic lessons and co-curricular engagement.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are an integral part of student development at the school. Offerings span physical sports, performing arts, uniformed groups, and clubs. Sports CCAs include Netball, Tennis, and Bowling. In the performing arts category, students can participate in Choir, Guitar Ensemble, or Brass Band. Uniformed groups such as Girls' Brigade and Girl Guides (Brownies) develop discipline, teamwork, and leadership qualities. Clubs like Art and Crafts, Environmental Science, and Infocomm Technology (Media Production) allow students to explore creative and technical interests.
These activities run throughout the school year and are designed to complement the academic programme by fostering teamwork, resilience, and a sense of responsibility among students.
Student Life and School Culture
Life at St. Margaret's School (Primary) centres on a values-driven education that aims to develop both character and intellect. Rooted in its mission school heritage, the school places importance on qualities such as gratitude, integrity, compassion, and perseverance. These values are woven into daily routines, assemblies, and structured character education lessons.
As a girls' school, the environment is tailored to encourage young girls to speak up, take on leadership roles, and develop self-assurance. Students participate in Values-in-Action (VIA) projects that connect classroom learning with community service, helping them appreciate their role in the wider society.
The school maintains close communication with parents through regular updates, parent-teacher meetings, and involvement opportunities. This partnership between home and school supports each student's academic progress and personal growth throughout her primary school years.
