Introduction

Ai Tong School is a government-aided Special Assistance Plan (SAP) primary school with a rich heritage in promoting Chinese language and culture. The school's mission is to nurture bilingual students who are rooted in values and culture, and who can contribute compassionately and creatively to society. Its educational philosophy is guided by the values of sincerity, perseverance, diligence, and thrift.

As a SAP school, Ai Tong offers an immersive environment for the learning of both English and Chinese. The school's holistic curriculum is enhanced by its Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in the aesthetics, which promotes cultural appreciation and creative expression, and an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in computational thinking. These programmes aim to develop well-rounded individuals with a global outlook and a strong moral character.
