A school on the mountain's slope.
Datun Elementary began in 1953 as a branch class of Beitou Elementary. It became an independent branch school in 1959, and finally a fully independent school under its current name in 1969. Set on the slope of Datun Mountain, inside the boundaries of Yangmingshan National Park, the school leans into its mountain setting with nature-themed events — including "登峰造極" ("Reaching the Summit") graduation hikes that have been reported in local press.
大屯國小於民國42年（1953年）以北投國小分班的形式創立，民國48年（1959年）成為獨立分校，並於民國58年（1969年）正式獨立設校，沿用現名至今。學校座落於陽明山國家公園範圍內的大屯山山腰，充分運用山區環境，舉辦如「登峰造極」畢業健行等自然主題活動，曾獲地方媒體報導。
What makes this school worth knowing.

🏫 From Branch to Independent School
由分班獨立設校
Starting as a 1953 branch class of Beitou Elementary, the school grew step by step into a fully independent institution by 1969.
Named for and standing on Datun Mountain.
Datun Elementary is directly named after and physically located on Datun Mountain (大屯山), the dominant peak of the Yangmingshan volcanic range — the same volcanic system whose geothermal activity feeds Beitou's famous hot springs. See the Taipei county page for more on the region.
