What is the Gifted Education Programme (GEP)?
This is a unique educational programme in Singapore designed for intellectually gifted students.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) identifies students for the GEP through a two-stage exercise in Primary 3. Only the top 1%, between 400 to 500 students, from these selection tests are invited to join the programme, which runs from Primary 4 to Primary 6.
Nine primary schools offer the GEP: Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Catholic High School (Primary), Henry Park Primary School, Nan Hua Primary School, Nanyang Primary School, Raffles Girls’ Primary School, Rosyth School, St Hilda’s Primary School, and Tao Nan School.
The curriculum covers the same content areas as the mainstream PSLE curriculum but is broader and deeper. It is intended to challenge and stretch the capabilities of these brilliant young minds.
The programme will be run in its current form until 2025. After that, all schools will offer programmes for their high achievers, and there will no longer be specific GEP Primary Schools.

How do I prepare my child for the GEP Identification Exercise?
Edison tried thousands of times before perfecting his light bulb. Einstein spent years refining his General Theory of Relativity. Michael Jordan is well known for being the first to get to the gym and the last to leave.
Giftedness, by definition, refers to exceptional talent or natural ability. Yet, the geniuses we see around us are often a product of nature and nurture.
Our Programme will bring out students’ full intellectual potential by exposing them to specially designed English, Mathematics, and General Ability (Verbal and Nonverbal Reasoning) curricula in preparation for the GEP Screening and Selection Tests.
In this weekly 3-hour programme, we engage students by providing detailed topical revision materials to help students strengthen their problem-solving heuristics, making even complex Mathematics problems more approachable.
Our students will master problem-solving methods to tackle complex Mathematical problem sums quickly and accurately. Time management is key in GEP assessments.
Additionally, our programme offers extensive exposure to a variety of English Comprehension and Cloze passages aimed at reinforcing critical inference and deduction skills. Students will learn to identify contextual clues, summarize passages, understand different question types, and use effective answering techniques to improve comprehension.
In the Cloze Passage components, students will be trained to link contextual clues and identify suitable words in the right context.
Finally, students will improve their mastery of the General Ability component by learning common question types and effective techniques to tackle them confidently.
Through intensive practice with our GEP test papers, students will sharpen their test-taking strategies and improve their time management skills.
