About · 學校簡介

Over 120 years of history, and a museum full of kites.

Dongshan Elementary opened on April 1, 1901, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch of Luodong Public School (羅東公學校冬瓜山分校). It became independent the following year, was renamed Dongshan Public School in 1921, and took its current name in 1968. The entire campus was relocated and rebuilt between 1995 and 1998. In 2001, the school established Taiwan's first district-wide autism consultation program. Today, at over 120 years old, it is best known for the Dongshan Kite Museum on its campus — a collection built on the school's decades of competitive kite-flying success, which helped make Dongshan Township famous across Taiwan as the "Hometown of Kites." The museum has been closed to public access since January 2020 pending relocation.

冬山國小於日治時期明治34年(1901年)4月1日創校,最初為羅東公學校冬瓜山分校。翌年獨立設校,民國10年(1921年)更名為冬瓜山公學校,民國57年(1968年)確立現名。民國84年至87年(1995–1998年)間,全校進行遷校重建。民國90年(2001年),學校成立全台第一個學區型自閉症巡迴輔導據點。如今創校逾120年的冬山國小,最為人知的是校內的冬山風箏館——這座館藏建立在學校數十年來放風箏比賽屢獲佳績的基礎上,也讓冬山鄉因此贏得全台「風箏之鄉」的美名。風箏館自民國109年(2020年)1月起因遷館規劃而暫停對外開放。
