A small school at the mountain's edge.
Chulai Elementary began in 1959 as a branch class of Haiduan Elementary School before growing into an independent school serving the entrance to Haiduan Township. It remains a small school today, with about 12 classes and roughly 50 students, offering self-prepared school lunches and an attached kindergarten. The school also oversees a remote branch campus, Xinwu Branch School, which serves an even more isolated Bunun community further into the mountains.
初來國小創立於1959年，最初是海端國小的分班，後來獨立設校，服務位於海端鄉入口的社區。學校規模小巧，現有約12班、50名學生，提供自辦午餐及附設幼兒園。校方並管轄新武呂分校，服務地處更深山的布農族社區。
