Wanrong Elementary School

In 2017, Wanrong Elementary made history as the first school in Taiwan to formally establish a "Truku Indigenous Experimental Education" program — a distinct educational track built specifically around Truku identity and knowledge. Rather than treating Indigenous culture as an add-on subject, the school reorganized its curriculum around "Gaya," the traditional Truku code of conduct that governs relationships, ethics, and community life. Students have even recreated traditional Truku dwellings on campus, turning the school itself into a living classroom for cultural continuity.

民國106年（2017年），萬榮國小成為全台灣第一所正式設立「太魯閣族實驗教育」課程的學校，並非僅將原住民文化作為附加科目，而是以太魯閣族傳統核心規範「Gaya」為主軸，重新建構整體課程架構。學生們甚至在校園中重建了太魯閣族傳統家屋，讓校園本身成為文化傳承的活教材。
