About · 學校簡介

From an Amis-only school to an Amis culture school.

This school was founded on April 1, 1917, under Japanese colonial rule as "Sharuwan Aboriginal Public School" (沙汝灣蕃人公學校), one of the oldest Indigenous-designated schools on Taiwan's east coast — a school built specifically for Amis children under a colonial education system. More than a century later, the school has reclaimed and transformed that history: it has been rebranded as "Salimpo," an Indigenous experimental elementary school whose curriculum centers on Amis mountain-sea culture. Despite its small size — around 29 students — the school won first place in the 2025 Commonwealth Magazine Sustainable Taiwan Creative Curriculum Competition.

本校創立於民國6年(1917年)4月1日,日治時期名為「沙汝灣蕃人公學校」,是東海岸歷史最悠久的原住民專屬學校之一——當年是專為阿美族兒童設立的殖民教育體系學校。百餘年後,學校已將這段歷史重新詮釋與轉化:轉型為原住民族實驗小學「薩靈埔」,以阿美族山海文化為課程核心。儘管全校僅約29名學生,學校仍在2025年天下雜誌「未來想像·教育在人間」永續台灣創意課程競賽中榮獲第一名。

🏛️ Over a Century of History, Reclaimed

從蕃人公學校到實驗小學

Founded in 1917 as an Amis-only school under Japanese rule, the school's transformation into today's Indigenous experimental school reflects a broader story of communities reclaiming their own educational institutions.

One of Changbin's oldest Indigenous schools.

🏔️

Founded in 1917 explicitly as an Amis-only school and now reborn as the Salimpo Amis Mountain-Sea Culture Experimental Elementary School, this is one of the most direct embodiments of Changbin's Amis Indigenous identity found anywhere in the township — a full-circle transformation from colonial-era segregation to Indigenous-led education.
