A name that remembers the fields.
Touqian Elementary traces its origins to a branch campus opened in 1924, becoming a fully independent school — Touqian National School — on August 1, 1962. It recently marked its 60th anniversary as an independent school and today features a well-regarded "bookstore-style" library, alongside a full slate of sports teams, clubs, and after-school care.
