Nearly 80 years old, built for a bilingual future.
Dakeng Elementary's exact founding date is not confirmed in available records, but the school's own 80th-anniversary commemorative publication points to an origin in the early-to-mid 1940s. In January 2018, it was designated a pilot 'bilingual innovation' school starting from first grade, and the Taoyuan City Government has since promoted it as a flagship site for bilingual education. The school runs eight signature curriculum tracks — spanning bilingual education, smart classrooms, outdoor and mountain-wilderness education, hands-on agriculture, international pen-pal exchanges with schools in Canada and the Philippines, character education, whole-school reading, and diverse student clubs — from a campus originally sited within a forest-conservation area near Linkou.
大坑國小確切創校年份尚無法從現有資料確認,但校內出版之「80週年校慶紀念特刊」顯示創校時間約在1940年代初中期。2018年1月,學校獲指定為自一年級起試辦的「雙語創新」學校,桃園市政府後續更將其推廣為雙語教育指標學校。學校推動八大特色課程:雙語教育、智慧教室、戶外/山野教育、農事體驗、加拿大與菲律賓國際筆友交流、品格教育、全校閱讀文化,以及多元社團——校地原位於鄰近林口的森林保育區內。

近80年校史、森林校地
The school's own 80th-anniversary publication points to roots in the early-to-mid 1940s, on a campus originally sited within a forest-conservation area near Linkou.
Forest roots, bilingual future.
Dakeng Elementary's rural, forested setting near the Linkou–Guishan plateau boundary, paired with its flagship bilingual-pilot status, captures Guishan's dual identity: a traditional farm village on one side, and cutting-edge bilingual and tech-park development on the other. Note: this Dakeng Elementary is the Guishan District school in Taoyuan City, distinct from the more widely known Dakeng scenic area in Taichung's Beitun District.
