Jialu Elementary School

Jialu Elementary School was founded on April 1, 1945, near the end of the Japanese colonial era, as a branch site of Fengkang School. Just months later, following Taiwan's retrocession, it became independent as Kaohsiung County Fangshan Township Jialu National School on December 1, 1945. The school has since become widely known across Taiwan media as one of the country's “most beautiful schools” — its old school building was renovated into a strikingly scenic campus, nicknamed the “whale elementary school,” sitting less than 10 meters from the coastline with an open ocean view. It operates two campuses: the main Jialu campus and a Fangshan branch campus.

加祿國小創立於昭和20年（1945年）4月1日，日治末期作為楓港學校的分教場；同年台灣光復後，於12月1日獨立設校，改稱高雄縣枋山鄉加祿國民學校。近年因舊校舍改建為景觀優美的校園，緊鄰海岸不到十公尺、坐擁無敵海景，被台灣媒體譽為全台「最美麗學校」之一，並有「鯨魚國小」之暱稱。學校設有加祿本校與枋山分校兩個校區。
