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 Xinghua 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 Xinghua 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
Xinghua Primary School traces its origins to 1930, when it was established as Sing Hua Public School by Mr. Chua Cheok San with the goal of making quality education accessible to all children. The school became government-aided in 1957 and adopted its current name in 1985. It moved to its present campus in 2007 and has grown through successive mergers that broadened its student community.
Today, Xinghua Primary operates as a co-educational, single-session government school under the Ministry of Education (MOE). The school's philosophy centres on bilingualism, character formation, and inquiry-driven learning. Two signature programmes define its educational approach: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Interdisciplinary Environmental Education, which develops sustainability awareness through practical projects, and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Visual Arts and Design, which cultivates confidence through creative thinking and expression. Mother tongue languages offered include Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, with Higher Chinese, Higher Malay, and Higher Tamil available for qualifying students.
Admission Process
Enrolment at Xinghua Primary School follows MOE's Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in several phases each year. Phase 1 is reserved for siblings of students currently attending the school, guaranteeing them a place. Phase 2A is open to children of alumni or parent volunteers who have contributed to the school. Phase 2B accommodates children of community leaders or parents who have volunteered at the school. Phase 2C is open to all remaining Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents.
Parents register online through the MOE P1 Registration Portal during the designated window for each phase. If applications in Phase 2C exceed available places, a ballot is held. Priority in balloting is determined by home-to-school distance and citizenship status, with Singapore citizens given precedence over Permanent Residents.
Primary education at Xinghua Primary is free for Singapore citizens under MOE policy. Permanent Residents pay a monthly fee of approximately SGD 255 (subject to annual revision by MOE). Additional costs may apply for uniforms, enrichment activities, and CCAs. Specific phase dates and requirements are published on the MOE website and the school's admissions page each year.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Xinghua Primary School follows MOE's national curriculum, covering English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages as core subjects. The lower primary years (Primary 1 to 4) focus on building strong foundations, while Primary 5 and 6 progressively raise the level of challenge to prepare students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
The school places particular emphasis on developing mathematical confidence. The Improving Confidence and Achievement in Numeracy (ICAN) programme runs from Primary 1 through Primary 6, helping students strengthen their understanding of mathematical concepts and build problem-solving skills. Students have also performed well in national mathematics competitions, with participants earning recognition at events such as the Singapore Math Kangaroo Contest.
The ALP in Interdisciplinary Environmental Education integrates critical thinking across subject areas, encouraging students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world environmental issues. Technology is woven into daily lessons through interactive classroom tools, supporting MOE's emphasis on developing 21st-century competencies. 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 Mathematics syllabus.
Xinghua Primary has received the Sustained Achievement Award for Aesthetics and the Lotus Sustained Achievement Award for its environmental initiatives, reflecting the school's strengths across both academic and interdisciplinary domains.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Xinghua Primary campus features classrooms fitted with interactive smart boards, a well-resourced library, dedicated environmental learning spaces that support the ALP, and outdoor areas including sports fields and gardens. The campus is barrier-free, ensuring accessibility for all students.
The school runs 15 Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) organised across four categories. In Sports and Games, students can participate in softball, volleyball, and wushu, with teams competing in the National School Games. Performing Arts CCAs include choir, guzheng ensemble, international dance, and angklung/kulintang ensemble; the international dance group has received an Accomplishment award at the Singapore Youth Festival. Uniformed Groups such as the Boys' Brigade and Girls' Brigade develop discipline, leadership, and a sense of service — the Girls' Brigade has achieved a Gold award. Clubs and Societies offer activities in areas like art and crafts, infocomm technology, and robotics, giving students opportunities to explore interests in STEM and creative fields. Younger students may participate in modular CCAs, allowing them to sample different activities before selecting a permanent CCA.
Student Life and School Culture
Xinghua Primary School operates as a single-session school, with lessons typically running from approximately 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM following MOE's standard primary school hours. The school follows MOE's prescribed uniform guidelines.
Character development is woven throughout school life. The Civics and Moral Education programme supports social and emotional growth, while the LLP in Visual Arts and Design encourages self-expression and builds personal confidence. The ALP further reinforces values of environmental responsibility and collaborative learning.
The school provides support for students with special educational needs through dedicated SEN Officers. The P1 TRANSIT programme assists Primary 1 students who require help with social and behavioural adjustment during their first year of formal schooling.
Notable alumni include Dorotheus Koh Chian Yee, a recipient of the Prime Minister's Book Prize, reflecting the school's track record in nurturing students who go on to achieve in diverse fields. Parents who wish to learn more about the school community are encouraged to attend the annual open house or contact the school directly at [email protected] or 6288 9121.
