About · 學校簡介

A school named for the sun, designed to play.

Yangguang Elementary's land was approved in 1998, and its preparatory office chose the name "Yangguang" (陽光, meaning "sunlight") in March 1999; the campus opened in April 2004. It was designed by Columbia University-trained architect Lin Zhi-cheng, who incorporated preserved traditional farm buildings into the campus as teaching spaces. The school is known for a striking architectural feature: seven slides descending 15 meters from the second floor. In 2004, it received the Ministry of Education's "Benchmark 100" award for its implementation of the Nine-Year Integrated Curriculum, and held its first graduation ceremony in 2006, with 170 graduates.

陽光國小校地於民國87年(1998年)獲准設立,籌備處於民國88年(1999年)3月定名為「陽光國小」,校園於民國93年(2004年)4月完工啟用。校園由哥倫比亞大學建築背景的建築師林芝丞設計,將保留下來的傳統農舍融入校園作為教學空間。學校以獨特建築特色聞名——七座從二樓垂降15公尺的溜滑梯。學校於2004年獲教育部九年一貫課程「標竿100」獎項肯定,並於2006年舉行首屆畢業典禮,共170名畢業生。

Local Culture · 在地文化

Where old farmhouses became a schoolyard.

🏡

Yangguang Elementary's campus design preserved traditional local farm buildings as teaching spaces rather than clearing them away — a rare choice that keeps a physical trace of the area's agricultural past inside the school itself. See the Hsinchu City county page for more on the region.
