Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Yangzheng 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 Yangzheng 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
Yangzheng Primary School has a long history that dates back to 1905, when it was established as Yeung Ching School in the Chinatown area to provide Chinese-medium education for Cantonese-speaking children. Originally a privately run community institution, it transitioned to a government school in 1988 and moved to its present Serangoon campus, adopting its current name. The school marked its centennial in 2005 and celebrated 120 years of education in 2025, with events that brought together multiple generations of former students.
Yangzheng operates as a co-educational government primary school under the Ministry of Education. Its guiding framework centres on the PRISE values: Passion for Learning, Responsibility, Integrity, Self-Discipline, and eMpathy. The school takes a bilingual, values-oriented approach that addresses moral, cognitive, physical, social, aesthetic, and leadership dimensions of a child's growth.
Admission Process
Primary 1 registration at Yangzheng Primary School follows the MOE standard admissions framework. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling already enrolled at the school. Phase 2A is open to children of alumni or those whose parents have served as parent volunteers. Phase 2B caters to children with connections through community or religious leaders affiliated with the school. Phase 2C is for all remaining applicants, with priority given to those living within 2 km of the school.
Applications are submitted through the MOE P1 Registration portal. If the number of applicants exceeds the available places in any phase, a ballot is conducted with home-to-school distance used as an additional consideration. Parents should prepare the necessary documents, including birth certificates, and check eligibility requirements on the MOE website. For school-specific queries, families can contact Yangzheng directly at 6284 6298 or via email at [email protected].
