From an Air Force children's school to a green model campus.
Nanping Elementary was established on February 1, 1950, by the ROC Air Force General Headquarters as "Air Force Yilan Children's School," created to educate the children of Air Force families who had retreated to Yilan with the Nationalist government the previous year. The school was transferred to county government control in 1966 and renamed "Nanping" in honor of Air Force martyr Li Nan-ping (李南屏). It relocated in 1994 to a new campus, completed in phases through 2002, designed around a "school-as-family" courtyard layout. The school has since been recognized as a green building and model green school for its environmental design and education programs.
南屏國小創立於民國39年（1950年）2月1日，由空軍總司令部設立，原名「空軍宜蘭子弟學校」，專為前一年隨國民政府撤退來台的空軍眷屬子女提供教育。1966年移交縣政府接管，並為紀念空軍烈士李南屏而更名為「南屏」。1994年遷至新校區，歷經分期興建於2002年完工，校園採「家的意象」合院式設計。學校因其環境設計與教育推廣，已獲肯定為綠建築及綠色學校示範學校。
