Profile
About · 學校簡介

A century-old school named for an earthen fort.

Tucheng Elementary was established in April 1922, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch station of Qishi'er Public School; it became fully independent in 1934 as "Tucheng Public School." Classes were initially held in private houses before a schoolhouse was built the same founding year, and the school was rebuilt at its current Chengdong Village site in 1940. Its first postwar principal, Chen Chun-fa, later also became the founding principal of nearby Chang'an Elementary School. The school took its present name, "Tainan City Annan District Tucheng Elementary School," in 1968.

土城國小創立於1922年(大正11年)4月,日治時期為「七十二分公學校土城子分教場」,1934年(昭和9年)獨立設校,定名「土城公學校」。創校初期借用民宅上課,同年即興建校舍,1940年遷建至今日城東里校址。首任戰後校長陳春發,後來也成為鄰近長安國小的創校校長。1968年配合九年國教改制,定名為「臺南市安南區土城國民小學」。

Older than the district's modern name.

🏘️

Named for "Tucheng" (earthen fortification/walled settlement), one of Annan's old Qing-era hamlet clusters, the school is over a century old and predates the district's modern name, reflecting the deep agricultural-settlement history of the area around today's Sicao wetlands. See the Tainan county page for more on the region.
