Tamsui Elementary School

Tamsui Elementary School was founded on September 7, 1896, as the "Tamsui Kokugo Denshūjo" (淡水國語傳習所) — one of the earliest Japanese-language teaching institutes established in Taiwan at the very start of colonial rule. Renamed several times over the following century, it is one of New Taipei City's oldest schools and stands roughly 400 meters from the Tamsui MRT station. As the town's founding school, it is deeply woven into Tamsui's identity as an early treaty port and a site of Taiwan's first modern schooling.

淡水國小創立於1896年9月7日，初名「淡水國語傳習所」，是台灣日治初期最早設立的國語傳習所之一。百餘年來歷經多次更名（滬尾公學校→淡水公學校→淡水東國民學校→淡水國民學校），是新北市歷史最悠久的學校之一，距淡水捷運站僅約400公尺。身為淡水的創始學校，深深連結淡水作為早期通商口岸與台灣現代教育發源地的歷史身分。
