Programmes to help your child unlock their maximum potential.


Primary 4

English | Math | Science

This year is about setting the foundations of upper primary right. The emphasis is on refining knowledge previously taught in lower primary and learning skills to apply knowledge in new ways.

Our focus is on imparting a growth mindset for your child to ensure your child can competently adapt and thrive in the upper primary environment.


Primary 5

English | Math | Science

The penultimate year before the PSLE, it is imperative that students consolidate their knowledge and hone their critical skills. This year is about emphasising key answering techniques and learning exam skills .

Our focus is on helping your child navigate this preparatory year through pacing their learning and honing their exam skills. Furthermore, we start to introduce more complex questions to help your child to apply the knowledge learnt to higher level questions.


Primary 6

English | Math | Science

The PSLE year requires students to gain mastery over content taught from Primary 3 to Primary 6 while preparing themselves for a rigorous series of national examinations. The most challenging primary year, it is critical that your child takes an evaluative approach towards learning to be self-aware of individual areas of improvement.

Our emphasis is on academic excellence. This comes in three stages: content mastery, answering techniques, and lastly, the ability apply knowledge in nouveau scenarios. Additionally, we help your child do goal setting; by being actively involved in their own learning journey, students take ownership of their own studies and naturally perform better.

Stories from Parents and Students

Grace looks forward to her lessons at Crucible every week. A real difference from her previous tuitions. Her grades have also seen a significant improvement, with her composition improving from around 60% to 95%!

Besides the academic improvement, it is obvious to our whole family that Grace has become a more thoughtful child and is often curious about events she hears on the news. She even debated with me when she overheard me discussing something with my friend! My friend, a lawyer, was impressed by her clarity of thought and method of justifying her ideas!

Without a doubt, Crucible’s Primary Programme has worked a charm for Grace and I am assured that she is in great hands during her formative educational years.

I really enjoy the lessons I have at Crucible. Besides improving academically, I also gain a deeper understanding of global issues.

What I enjoy most is my teacher’s stories and analogies to help me understand the concepts required of me!
— Aloysius Tan, enrolled in Science and English
Maths has always been a subject Rachel struggled with. The tutors have been very patient and supportive in clarifying all of Rachel’s problems and doubts. Also impressed with the easy to follow frameworks provided. I have nothing but praise for Crucible
