A small school, a big language commitment.
Laiji Elementary serves the Tsou (鄒族) indigenous village of Laiji in Alishan Township. With a small enrollment, the school uses remote-learning classrooms via Google Classroom to connect students across grades 1 through 6, while weaving Tsou-language instruction into daily school life — daily Tsou phrases even appear on the school's own website. It maintains an Indigenous Education Resource Center, and its teaching team won the Ministry of Education's 2024 Teaching Excellence Award (教學卓越金質獎), a rare national-level honor for such a small mountain school.
來吉國小服務阿里山鄉來吉村的鄒族部落。學校規模不大，透過 Google Classroom 遠距教學教室連結一至六年級學生，並將鄒語教學融入日常校園生活——學校網站上甚至每天更新鄒語詞句。學校設有「民族教育資源教室」，教學團隊更於2024年榮獲教育部教學卓越金質獎，對一所山區小校而言是難得的全國級殊榮。
