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 Valour 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 Valour 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
Valour Primary School is a co-educational government primary school in Singapore that serves students from Primary 1 through Primary 6. The school operates on a single-session model and places strong emphasis on character education alongside academic development. Its Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled Nature & Adventure @ Valour, centres on sports and outdoor education as vehicles for building resilience, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility in students.
The school's approach to education integrates structured academic learning with experiential programmes designed to develop the whole child. Valour Primary has dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) Officers on staff and runs the P1 TRANSIT programme, which supports incoming Primary 1 students who may need additional help with social skills and behavioural adjustment. The school mascot, Timba, features in its virtual campus tour, which gives prospective families a look at the learning environment before visiting in person.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Valour Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's (MOE) standard Primary 1 registration framework, which is conducted in phases each year.
Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently attending the school, and placement is guaranteed. Phase 2A accommodates children whose parents are alumni, school staff, or members of an advisory or management committee connected to the school. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school or who are endorsed by community or religious leaders affiliated with the school. Phase 2C is the open phase available to all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases.
When applications in any phase exceed the number of available places, balloting is carried out. Priority during balloting is determined by home-to-school distance, with children living within 1 km given first consideration, followed by those within 1 to 2 km, and then those beyond 2 km. Singapore Citizens are prioritised over Permanent Residents at each distance band. All applications are submitted online through the MOE P1 Registration Portal during the designated registration window.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Valour Primary School delivers the national curriculum prescribed by MOE, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil), Social Studies, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Mother Tongue assignment is based on the student's registered ethnicity, though parents may apply to MOE for exemptions or alternative language arrangements.
At the lower primary level (Primary 1 and 2), teaching methods emphasise hands-on activities, storytelling, and interactive learning to build foundational literacy and numeracy skills. As students progress to upper primary, the curriculum shifts towards developing critical thinking, problem-solving ability, and subject-specific competencies in preparation for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
The PSLE is taken at the end of Primary 6 and assesses students in English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue. Valour Primary supports upper primary students through structured revision and targeted practice in examination techniques. For families seeking additional support in Mathematics beyond what the school provides, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes aligned to the primary Mathematics syllabus, which some parents have found helpful for reinforcing key concepts and building confidence ahead of the PSLE.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Valour Primary School campus features barrier-free accessibility throughout, along with a school library, dedicated spaces for art and music instruction, and sports facilities for physical education and outdoor activities. These spaces support both daily lessons and the school's co-curricular programmes.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are available across categories including sports, performing arts, and clubs. Younger students in the lower primary levels participate in modular CCAs, which allow them to sample different activities before committing to a specific CCA in the upper primary years. Options have historically included activities such as football, choir, and visual arts, among others.
The school's LLP, Nature & Adventure @ Valour, provides structured outdoor education experiences that complement the CCA programme. Through this programme, students participate in activities designed to develop physical fitness, environmental awareness, and the ability to work collaboratively in unfamiliar settings.
Student Life and School Culture
Valour Primary School fosters a culture grounded in core values such as resilience, respect, and teamwork. These values are reinforced across the school day through classroom interactions, co-curricular participation, and dedicated character education programmes.
The school operates from approximately 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM on weekdays, in line with MOE guidelines for single-session primary schools. After-school hours may include CCA sessions or student care arrangements, and families are encouraged to contact the school directly for the latest schedule details.
For students with mild special educational needs, the school's SEN Officers provide in-school support, working alongside classroom teachers to help these students access the curriculum effectively. The P1 TRANSIT programme specifically assists new Primary 1 students in adjusting to the structured school environment, addressing areas such as social interaction and self-regulation.
Parent engagement is encouraged through volunteer opportunities and school events such as the annual e-Open House, which provides prospective and current families with information about programmes, CCAs, and the school's educational approach. Families can reach the school at 6242 6390 or [email protected] for enquiries.
