From a temple courtyard to a 120-year institution.
Daya Elementary traces its founding to 1898, when it opened as "Bazi Public School" at Yongxing Temple, a historic local shrine that served as the community's gathering place. It was renamed "Daya Public School" in 1921 as the district itself took on the Daya name. Over more than 120 years, the school has grown into one of the oldest and largest in the district, anchoring generations of Daya families in a single continuous institution.
大雅國小的創校可追溯至1898年，當時以「壩雅公學校」之名於永興宮設立——永興宮是當地一座歷史悠久的廟宇，也是社區的聚會場所。民國10年（1921年）隨著大雅地名的確立，更名為「大雅公學校」。逾120年來，這所學校已成長為大雅區歷史最悠久、規模最大的學校之一，以單一延續機構的形式，見證了世代大雅家庭的成長。
