An organic-minded school in pomelo country.
Qiaohe Elementary was established around 1950–1951, in the years just after Taiwan's retrocession, and has since grown into a steady presence for families in Citong Township. The school is best known today for its "organic ecological campus" program, where students tend vegetable gardens as part of their everyday learning, alongside a distinctive lineup of activity courses that includes diabolo spinning, mountain education, and tree climbing.
僑和國小創校於民國39至40年間（約1950至1951年），是莿桐鄉在地深耕多年的學校。學校目前最為人所知的是「有機生態校園」計畫，讓學生透過日常照顧蔬菜園圃來學習；此外還開設扯鈴、山野教育、攀樹等特色課程，豐富孩子的學習體驗。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🌱 An Organic Ecological Campus
有機生態校園計畫
Students maintain their own vegetable gardens as part of a hands-on "organic ecological campus" program, connecting classroom learning directly to the soil.

扯鈴課程
Diabolo spinning rounds out the school's activity offerings, keeping a traditional Taiwanese folk skill alive alongside newer environmental and outdoor programs.
Rooted in Citong's orchards.
Citong Township has long been known across Taiwan for its pomelo (文旦) orchards and betel-nut farming, and Qiaohe's organic-garden program ties directly into that agricultural identity — giving students a working sense of the crops and land that shape daily life around them. See the Yunlin county page for more on the region.
