Nanshan Elementary School

Nanshan Elementary began in 1920 under Japanese rule as the "Piyanan Aboriginal Children's Education Institute" (卑亞南蕃童教育所), one of many such institutes established to educate Atayal children in Taiwan's mountain regions. It became an independent school in 1962 and took its present name in 1968. Sitting at nearly 1,200 meters above sea level, Nanshan is one of the highest-altitude schools in Yilan County, and it remains active today in developing Indigenous curriculum for its students.

南山國小的歷史始於日治時期的民國9年（1920年），當時名為「卑亞南蕃童教育所」，是日本政府在台灣山地地區設立的多所類似機構之一，專門教育泰雅族兒童。學校於民國51年（1962年）獨立設校，民國57年（1968年）更為現名。座落於海拔近1,200公尺處，南山是宜蘭縣海拔最高的學校之一，至今持續致力於原住民族課程的發展。
