About · 學校簡介

Over 125 years, from the Confucius Temple to today.

Gongyuan Elementary School was founded on October 1, 1898, as "Tainan Elementary School," first located inside the historic Tainan Confucius Temple. It was renamed several times over the following decades — Tainan Ordinary Higher Elementary School in 1901, Tainan First Ordinary Higher Elementary School in 1915 — before relocating in 1923 to the Hanayama ("Flower Garden") district and being renamed accordingly. After the 1945 handover it became Tainan City Second National School in 1946, then Tainan City North District Gongyuan National School in 1947. Over 125 years old, Gongyuan is one of the oldest elementary schools in Tainan. Its original 1923 main building was designated a Tainan City historic building in 2003, and the school holds a AAA-level government web-accessibility certification.
