Pinglin Elementary School

Pinglin Elementary was likely founded around 1944–1945, near the end of Japanese colonial rule, and recently celebrated roughly 80 years of history. Its campus preserves a restored Japanese-era military command platform, now decorated with student murals that turn a piece of colonial-era infrastructure into a living art space. The school also runs an organic vegetable garden as part of hands-on learning, alongside a strong Hakka-language program complemented by English, reading, and arts enrichment.

坪林國小創校年代推估約在1944至1945年間，正值日治時期末期，近期慶祝建校約八十週年。校園內保存一座經修復的日治時期軍事司令台，如今妝點上學生彩繪壁畫，讓歷史遺跡化身為藝術空間。學校並設有有機蔬菜園作為體驗式學習場域，並發展扎實的客語教學，輔以英語、閱讀與藝術扎根課程。
