About · 學校簡介

A single school for a small Atayal community.

The school's history stretches back to 1908, when Japanese colonial authorities established the "Wulai Aboriginal Children's Education Institute" as part of a network of institutes — known as banchi kyōikusho — set up across Taiwan's mountain regions to provide basic schooling to Indigenous communities. The school was renamed Wulai National School in 1946, after the end of Japanese rule. A separate junior high division, established in 1968, was merged with the elementary school in 1975 to form a single combined institution spanning grades 1 through 9. Today it is a very small school — roughly six classes and fewer than 100 students — whose student body is overwhelmingly Atayal (Tayal), serving as the sole K-9 school for the whole of Wulai District.

學校歷史可追溯至1908年(明治41年),日治政府設立「烏來蕃童教育所」,是當時台灣山地原住民教育機構網絡(蕃地教育所)的一環,為原住民部落孩童提供基礎教育。1946年(民國35年),日治結束後,學校更名為烏來國民學校。1968年成立的國中部,於1975年併入國小部,成為橫跨一至九年級的單一國民中小學。目前學校規模非常小——約6班、不到100名學生——學生組成以泰雅族為絕大多數,是烏來區境內唯一一所國中小。

🏫 A Century-Plus of Local Schooling

逾百年辦學歷史

Tracing back to 1908, when it began as a Japanese colonial-era institute for educating Indigenous children, this school has provided continuous schooling to Wulai's community for more than a century.

🔗 One School Across Nine Grades

一至九年級合併辦學

A separate junior high division, added in 1968, merged with the elementary school in 1975 to create a single K-9 institution — a practical response to Wulai's small, dispersed mountain population.

🏔️ The Only School for the District

烏來唯一國中小

With roughly six classes and under 100 students, this is a genuinely small school — and the only combined elementary-junior-high in all of Wulai District.

🪶 An Atayal Community's School

泰雅族學生為主

The student body is overwhelmingly Atayal (Tayal), and the school anchors the same Indigenous community that today sustains Wulai's hot-spring resort and Wulai Waterfall tourism economy.

Wulai's Atayal community.

🪶

Wulai District is home to Taiwan's Atayal (Tayal) Indigenous people, whose communities have lived in this mountainous river valley for generations and today also sustain the district's hot-spring resort area and the Wulai Waterfall, among the island's best-known tourist destinations. As the sole K-9 school serving this small, mostly-Atayal township, the school's own history — running from a Japanese colonial-era education institute through post-war reorganization to today's combined campus — is inseparable from the broader story of Indigenous education policy in Taiwan's mountain regions. See the New Taipei county page for more on the region.
