A spacious campus, a patriotic name.
Aiguo Elementary School opened in the spring of 1952 under founding principal Wang Ming-de. Its name, "愛國" (patriotism), reflects a wave of similarly themed school names adopted across Taiwan in the early postwar decades. The school occupies a relatively spacious campus of over 17,611 square meters, in the same十全-area cluster of schools that includes Boai and Sanmin Junior High.
