Jinyang Elementary School

Jinyang Elementary was founded in 1921 during the Japanese colonial era as the "Class-A Aboriginal Children's Education Institute," and was renamed in 1947 and again in 1968. The school sits upstream along the Nan'ao South River, in an especially remote and scenic setting sometimes described as an "idyllic hidden village." Its student body is majority Atayal Indigenous, and in 2024 the school won top honors in the national student creative drama competition's elementary stage-play category.

金洋國小創立於日治時期民國10年（1921年），初名「甲種蕃童教育所」，於民國36年（1947年）與民國57年（1968年）兩度更名。學校座落於南澳南溪上游，是格外偏遠而風景秀麗的所在，有人形容為「世外桃源般的隱藏村落」。學生以泰雅族原住民為主，民國113年（2024年）學校在全國學生創意戲劇比賽國小戲劇組中榮獲佳績。
