A school at the administrative heart of Shizi.
Fenglin Elementary School traces its roots to 1924, during the Japanese colonial era, when its predecessor institution relocated and became the “Maple (Fenglin) Education Institute.” It was renamed Fenglin National School in 1946 after Taiwan's retrocession, and took its present name, Fenglin Elementary School, in 1968. The school and its surrounding village — Shizi Township's main administrative hub — are noted for Paiwan cultural motifs including pottery jars (陶壺), painted murals, and human-figure patterns (人形紋), distinctive artistic markers of the Fenglin tribal area.
楓林國小前身可追溯至大正13年（1924年）日治時期遷校後成立的「楓林教育所」。台灣光復後於民國35年（1946年）改稱楓林國民學校，民國57年（1968年）定名為楓林國小。學校及其所在的楓林村（獅子鄉行政中心）以陶壺、彩繪壁畫與人形紋等排灣族圖騰聞名，是楓林部落獨特的藝術標誌。
