Contrary to popular belief, tuition isn’t just for students struggling to keep up academically. Many high-ability learners seek out tuition to further develop their talents in an environment that nurtures curiosity and challenges their capabilities.
At Future Academy, we pride ourselves on being a learning centre that caters to these bright minds—especially IP school students and those from the GEP programme. Here’s how we empower high-ability learners to achieve their full potential:
For students who want to challenge themselves beyond the mainstream curriculum, we offer Math Olympiad and DSA preparation classes for primary school students.
Our Math Olympiad programme is designed to engage students who love math, logic, and puzzles. These classes go beyond textbook problems, introducing them to advanced problem-solving heuristics and engaging math puzzles that stretch their thinking. As part of our programme, we also help student prepare and register for competitions, where they can earn accolades that enhance their confidence and build impressive portfolios for DSA applications.
In our targeted DSA preparation programmes, students receive tailored coaching for entrance tests and interviews on top of academic guidance. These sessions help them polish their skills and articulate their strengths effectively, setting them up for success.
While the GEP programme is being phased out in the coming years, we remain committed to supporting current GEP students and those in other advanced learning programmes.
We understand that high-ability learners often think differently and ask deeper, more complex questions. That’s why we provide differentiated classes designed to meet their unique learning styles and pace. Our experienced GEP tutors work closely with these students to nurture their intellectual curiosity while guiding them towards achieving academic excellence.
For exceptional learners who display rapid progress and strong subject mastery, we offer the opportunity to join classes a year above their current level. We see this especially amongst IP students and more so in language classes like our IP English tuition classes. For some of these students, learning is not just content or exam-focused, but on honing their skills – which a higher level programme serves to push them towards.
We work closely with parents to assess whether this accelerated pathway is the right fit for the child or teen. While we avoid placing undue stress or unrealistic expectations on young learners, we recognise that advanced classes can sometimes provide the stimulation and challenge they need to thrive.
At Future Academy, we believe that every student deserves an education tailored to their unique strengths and potential. Whether it’s through enrichment classes, specialised programmes, or accelerated learning pathways, our goal is to create an uplifting environment where high-ability learners can shine.
Our high-ability programmes are taught by educators who have first-hand experience in teaching programmes like Math Olympiad, GEP, and the IP curriculum. Hence, we know the type of coaching and resources needed for these programmes and learners.

Every year, primary 3 students sit for the GEP screening test. A selected few will go on to sit for the GEP selection test, before the top performers are invited to join the Gifted Education Programme proper. While the GEP screening and selection tests are meant to measure a child’s innate potential, many tuition centres [...]
