Taiping Elementary School

Taiping Elementary was founded in 1922, during the Japanese colonial era, and celebrated its 100th anniversary with a commemorative publication, the "Taiping Elementary 100th Anniversary Special Edition." Sitting at roughly 1,000 meters elevation — one of the highest-altitude schools in Chiayi County — the school transformed in 2015 into an "ecological and humanities experimental school," describing itself as "a school of ecology that practices cross-disciplinary innovation and exploratory experience." Its efforts have been recognized with the Ministry of Education's Teaching Excellence gold medal in 2020 and Taiwan-US Eco-Schools International Bronze Certification.

太平國小創立於大正11年（1922年）日治時期，並曾出版「太平國小100週年校慶特刊」慶祝建校百年。學校座落於約1,000公尺海拔，是嘉義縣海拔最高的學校之一；2015年轉型為「生態人文實驗小學」，自我定位為「一所實踐跨域創生、探索體驗的生態小學」。學校於2020年榮獲教育部教學卓越獎金質獎，並取得臺美生態學校國際認證銅牌。
