About Zhonghua Primary School
Zhonghua Primary School traces its roots back to 1911, when it began as Chung Hwa Girls’ School, founded by a visionary Chinese clan association to empower young girls with foundational education. Evolving through Singapore’s dynamic history, the primary section paused in 1980 before a triumphant rebirth in 1987 at its current Serangoon site, adjacent to Zhonghua Secondary School.
Founded: 1911

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 Zhonghua 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 Zhonghua 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
Zhonghua Primary School is a government co-educational primary school in Singapore that serves students from Primary 1 through Primary 6. The school operates as a single-session institution and places a strong emphasis on nurturing well-rounded individuals through a combination of academic rigour, character education, and environmental stewardship. Its signature programmes include Thinknovate@ZPS, which develops inventive and adaptive thinking through STEM-based sustainability projects, and the Green Education Movement (GEM@ZPS), which weaves environmental awareness into school life across the curriculum, campus operations, community partnerships, and school culture. Zhonghua Primary is committed to developing values-driven citizens who are equipped for the challenges of the future.
Admission Process
Entry to Zhonghua Primary School at Primary 1 follows the MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which proceeds through a series of structured phases. Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently attending the school. Phase 2A covers children whose parents are alumni members, staff of the school, or whose parents serve on the school advisory committee. Phase 2B applies to children whose parents have volunteered at the school for at least 40 hours, or who are connected through an affiliated church or clan association. Phase 2C is open to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents who have not secured a place in earlier phases, with priority given based on home-to-school distance (within 1 km, then within 2 km). If the number of applicants in any phase exceeds available places, a ballot is conducted, with Singapore citizens given priority over permanent residents. All applications are submitted online through the MOE P1 Internet System (P1-IS), typically during the June to August registration window. Parents should refer to the MOE website for the latest timelines and vacancy information.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Zhonghua Primary School follows the MOE national curriculum, offering core subjects including English Language, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil). Higher Mother Tongue options are available for eligible students in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. Foundation-level variants of English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue Languages are also offered to support students who benefit from a more gradual pace of learning.
The school's Applied Learning Programme, Thinknovate@ZPS, centres on STEM and sustainability. Through this programme, students engage in hands-on projects that build critical thinking, problem-solving, and inventive skills aligned with 21st Century Competencies. Numeracy support is available through the ICAN programme for students in Primary 3 and Primary 4 who need additional help building confidence in Mathematics.
Beyond classroom instruction, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies round out the academic timetable. Students are prepared systematically for the PSLE across all examinable subjects. For families seeking additional structured support in Mathematics outside school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers programmes designed to reinforce and extend what students learn in the national curriculum.
