It is one of the five affiliated primary schools under the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan.

Ai Tong School is considered to be one of the most popular primary schools in Singapore, with places in the primary 1 intake frequently being oversubscribed.[2]
The name Ai Tong (爱同) is derived from the Chinese values of "Bo Ai" (博爱) and "Da Tong" (大同) which means 'Love for all humanity' and 'Equality/Harmony' respectively.[3] This name was given by Pastor Ong Kah Mok, one of the founders of this school.[3]
