Named for a scholar, facing his legacy.
Hu Shih Elementary opened on August 1, 1979, after a preparatory office was established the previous year under director Fan Zhen-qing, then principal of Jiuzhuang Elementary; Li Ke-xiong served as founding principal. The school is named to commemorate philosopher and scholar Hu Shih (胡適), former president of Academia Sinica, and sits at the intersection of Yanjiuyuan Road Sec. 2 and Jiuzhuang Street Sec. 1, directly facing Academia Sinica and near Hu Shih Memorial Park, where Hu Shih is buried.
胡適國小於民國68年（1979年）8月1日創校，前一年由時任舊莊國小校長范振清成立籌備處，首任校長為李克雄。學校以哲學家暨學者、中央研究院前院長胡適命名，校址位於研究院路二段與舊莊街一段交叉口，正對中央研究院，鄰近胡適安葬之處——胡適紀念公園。
