A century of "love," "learning," and Atayal spirit.
Meihua Elementary has stood in Meihua Village for over a century, founded in 1917 during the Japanese colonial era. Today it is a tiny school — just six classes and about 52 students, all of them Atayal Indigenous — guided by a motto built around "love," "learning," and "Atayal spirit." Its curriculum leans into that identity directly, with a distinctive program in traditional Atayal bamboo-wood xylophone performance alongside children's fine arts instruction.
梅花國小創立於1917年（日治時期），在梅花村已屹立超過一世紀。如今全校僅6班、約52名學生，全數為泰雅族原住民，校訓圍繞著「愛」、「學習」與「泰雅精神」而立。學校課程也直接呼應這樣的文化認同，發展出傳統泰雅族竹木片琴演奏的特色課程，並結合兒童美術教學。
What makes this school worth knowing.
