About · 學校簡介

A century-old school shaped by tribal seasons.

Wuta Elementary was founded in 1921 during the Japanese colonial era, making it a "century-old school." The school is connected to the historical story behind "Sayon's Bell" (莎韻之鐘), a well-known Japanese colonial-era tale involving a local Atayal girl. Today it practices Tayal Indigenous Experimental Education, following a four-semester calendar aligned with traditional tribal seasonal life. The school maintains a Tayal cultural farming plot on campus and built a traditional Atayal ancestral house with guidance from tribal elders.

武塔國小創立於日治時期民國10年(1921年),是一所「百年老校」。學校與著名的「莎韻之鐘」故事淵源深厚——這是一則日治時期關於當地泰雅族少女的知名傳說。如今學校實施泰雅族原住民實驗教育,採四學期制,配合部落傳統的季節生活節奏。學校在校內設有泰雅文化農耕園地,並在部落耆老的指導下興建傳統泰雅族祖屋。
