A century of history, rooted in a temple.
Beitun Elementary School's history stretches back to 1904, when it began as a branch teaching site of Sizhangli Public School (四張犁公學校), housed at the Confucian Wenchang Temple (文昌廟) in the historic Sizhangli settlement. It became independent in 1913, was renamed Beitun Public School (北屯公學校) in 1921 under Japanese rule, and took its current name in 1968. The school celebrated its centennial in 2003 and, during the Japanese colonial era, was the only school in the Dadun district to offer a "higher course" equivalent to junior-high-level education. Over the decades it has spun off several satellite schools, including Qiaoxiao Elementary School.
北屯國小的歷史可追溯至1904年(明治37年),最初以「四張犁公學校」分教場之姿設立,校址位於歷史悠久的四張犁聚落內的文昌廟。1913年獨立設校,1921年(日治時期)更名為「北屯公學校」,民國57年(1968年)確立現今校名。學校於2003年舉辦建校百週年慶祝活動,日治時期更是大墩地區唯一開設「高等科」(相當於國中程度)的學校。歷經數十年發展,也陸續分出多所分校,包括僑孝國小。
