Chikan Elementary School

Chikan Elementary was founded in 1900 as "Da Chikan Public School," and since no schoolhouse existed yet, its very first classes were held inside the local Shuixian Temple, dedicated to a folk sea-god. In 1909 it was formally reorganized as Baisha Island Public School through the merger of three schools, and it was renamed Chikan Public School in 1922 before becoming "Chikan National Elementary School" in 1968. Its first principal was a Japanese administrator; its first ROC-era principal after 1945 was Wu Shuang-shi. Over its long history, the school spawned several other institutions as branches — including the schools that later became independent on Niaoyu and Jibei islands.

赤崁國小創立於明治33年（1900年），初名「大赤崁公學校」，由於當時尚無校舍，最初借用當地的水仙宮上課。民國前2年（1909年）由三校合併重組為白沙島公學校，民國11年（1922年）改名赤崁公學校，民國57年（1968年）定名為「赤崁國民小學」。首任校長為日籍人士，戰後首任校長為吳雙喜。校史悠久，曾陸續衍生出多所分校，其中包括後來獨立設校的鳥嶼及吉貝兩校。
