Over a century at the root of island schooling.
Wan'an Elementary was founded on March 31, 1917, as "Wang'an National School" (網垵公學校) under Japanese rule, with a school district that originally covered both the Wang'an and Qimei (then called "Da-yu") areas. In 1920, a branch classroom was established at Da-yu; that branch became independent in 1923, and is the direct ancestor of today's Qimei Elementary School. The school also ceded Huayu Village's school district to form Huayu Elementary in 1952, and Shui'an Village's district to form Shui'an Elementary in 1958. Around 2017, the school marked 100 years of continuous history.
望安國小創立於大正6年（1917年）3月31日，日治時期名為「網垵公學校」，學區原本涵蓋望安與七美（舊稱「大嶼」）兩地。民國9年（1920年）於大嶼設立分教場，民國12年（1923年）獨立設校，即為今日七美國小的直系源頭。學校也曾於民國41年（1952年）將花嶼村學區劃出成立花嶼國小，並於民國47年（1958年）將水垵村學區劃出成立水垵國小。約於民國106年（2017年），學校慶祝創校百年。
