Brief school history
This year we are celebrating our 120th anniversary of the Campus. Our
school was established in the 36th year of the Meijiera during the Japanese colonial period (1903
AD); located on Xidatu Street, it officially enrolled students the following year with only 98
students at the time. Subsequently, through the dedicated efforts of principals and faculty members,
enduring countless hardships and overcoming numerous challenges, over the decades, it has grown to
its present scale. The cumulative number of graduates has exceeded 103,000, among whom there are
pillars of the nation and stalwarts of society, demonstrating the indispensable role of our
institution in nurturing talent for the country and society.
School environment
The school is located near the renowned "Fengjia Night Market" in
Taiwan's Taichung, adjacent to major transportation arteries. Despite being in the city center, the
campus spans 3.4 hectares, adorned with lush greenery, earning it the title of the "Green Heart" of
the urban area. Within the campus, there are amenities such as a 200-meter track, outdoor sports
fields, indoor sports halls, indoor amusement halls, the most beautiful co-reading library in the
city, a farm, and a butterfly garden, making it a beautiful and vibrant campus.
School features
Our school's vision is centered around "innovation, sustainability,
vitality, and benevolence." Despite being a 120-year-old institution, we maintain a dynamic approach
to continuous innovation and development. Our main featured clubs include flute, soccer, dodgeball,

freely develop in all aspects. We aspire for every child to have the freedom to develop their
talents.
