A century-old school, twice renamed and rebuilt.
Kaixuan Elementary began in 1913 as the private "Qiongshan Elementary School" in Qionglin Village. It was renamed "Jinhu Central Public School" in 1951, then relocated to Zhongxing Ridge and renamed "Kaixuan Elementary School" in 1964 — commemorating the military's contributions during the martial-law period, and making it another of Kinmen's six "General Schools." During the 1958 August 23 Bombardment, evacuated elementary students from Lieyu (Little Kinmen) were consolidated at the former Kinmen Middle School site as a temporary "United Nations School." A new NT$276.3 million campus was inaugurated on July 12, 2022.
開瑄國小創立於民國2年（1913年），初名私立「瓊山小學」，設於瓊林村。民國40年（1951年）更名為「金湖中心國校」，民國53年（1964年）遷至中興嶺並更名為「開瑄國小」，以紀念戰地政務時期軍方的貢獻，成為金門六所「將軍小學」之一。1958年八二三砲戰期間，烈嶼（小金門）撤離的國小學童曾集中安置於原金門中學校址，成立臨時的「聯合國學校」。耗資新台幣2億7,630萬元的新校舍已於2022年7月12日落成啟用。

A name and a history forged by wartime.
Kaixuan's very name commemorates military contributions during Kinmen's martial-law "wartime governance" period, and its district absorbed displaced students during the 823 Bombardment evacuation of Little Kinmen — a direct link to the island's frontline history. See the Kinmen county page for more on the region.
