Tainan Hushan Experimental Elementary School

Hushan Experimental Elementary School's earliest roots reach back to 1910, as a Japanese-era institution. It became “Tainan No. 1 Ordinary Higher Elementary School Chelujiao Branch” in 1915, independent as “Chelujiao Ordinary Elementary School” in 1917, and was taken over by Rende Village administration in 1921. Renamed “Fengrong National School” in 1941, it became “Taiwan Sugar Corporation's 7th School” in 1946 — originally founded as a company school for the children of sugarcane-plantation workers, reflecting Rende's industrial-agricultural past. It went through several more names before converting to “Hushan Experimental Elementary School” in August 2016, after adopting a four-quarter academic calendar and the UN Eco-Schools system. The school has earned all four permanent UN Eco-Schools “Green Flags,” a rare distinction that drove its conversion to experimental-school status, and media have called it Taiwan's “most beautiful lowland forest elementary school.”

虎山實小校史最早可追溯至明治43年（1910年）日治時期的教育機構。1915年改稱「臺南第一尋常高等小學校車路墘分教場」，1917年獨立設校為「車路墘尋常小學校」，1921年改由仁德庄役場管轄。1941年改名「豐榮國民學校」，1946年改稱「臺糖第七小學」——原為服務糖廠員工子弟的企業附屬學校，反映仁德區的工業與農業歷史。歷經多次更名後，於2016年8月轉型為「虎山實驗小學」，採行四學期制並導入聯合國生態學校系統。學校已獲頒聯合國生態學校四面永久綠旗，是相當罕見的殊榮，也促成其轉型為實驗學校；媒體並譽之為台灣「最美平地森林小學」。
