A century of schooling on Little Kinmen.
Shangqi Elementary opened in February 1921 as "Lieyu Sixth District Second National School," funded originally by donations from the local community in Qingqi village. It was renamed "Qishan Elementary" in 1947 and took its current name, "Shangqi National Elementary School," in 1950, aligning again with Taiwan's nine-year education reform in 1967. Now over a century old, the school made history in 2019 by establishing Kinmen's first toddler class for two-year-olds, and in 2025 it was recognized nationally with an "Excellence Bronze Award" in health promotion. At its 96th anniversary, the school honored 29 alumni ranging in age from 80 to 102.
上岐國小創校於民國10年（1921年）2月，初名「烈嶼第六區第二國民學校」，創校經費源自青岐村居民集資捐助。民國36年（1947年）更名「岐山小學」，民國39年（1950年）定名為「上岐國民小學」，並於民國56年（1967年）配合九年國教改制。學校歷史逾百年，民國108年（2019年）率先於金門開辦全縣首創的2歲幼幼班，民國114年（2025年）榮獲全國健康促進「卓越銅質獎」。在96週年校慶時，表揚了29位年齡介於80至102歲的校友。

A century of survival on Little Kinmen.
One of Kinmen's oldest schools, over a century old, on the frontline islet of Lieyu — its history spans the pre-war era, Japanese occupation, and the Cold War artillery-battle period that shaped all of Little Kinmen's institutions. See the Kinmen county page for more on the region.
