Huanan Experimental Elementary School

Huanan Experimental Elementary began as a branch school in 1960, became independent in 1962, and took its current name in 1968. The school once faced near-closure due to rural depopulation, with enrollment shrinking to just 23 students. That changed under principal Chen Ching-chuan, who led the school from 2006 to 2019: enrollment quadrupled, and Huanan became one of Taiwan's "Top 10 Classic Specialty Elementary Schools." Central to that turnaround was an "unbounded learning" curriculum that reconnects students directly with local coffee farming, tea culture, and terraced-field agriculture.

華南國小於1960年（民國49年）以分校形式創立，1962年獨立設校，1968年更為現名。學校曾因鄉村人口外流而一度面臨廢校危機，學生數銳減至僅23人。轉機出現在陳清圳校長任內（2006至2019年）：在學人數成長四倍，華南國小也躍升為全台「十大經典特色國小」之一。這波轉型的核心，正是「無邊界學習」課程——讓學生重新與在地咖啡產業、茶文化及梯田農業產生連結。
