Ximen Experimental Elementary School

Ximen Experimental Elementary shares its origin with Shimen Elementary, both descending from the 1900 Anping Public School's primary division, before becoming independently organized as "Anping Ordinary Elementary School" in 1913. It took its current site in 1939, on the former British Consulate grounds, and became "Ximen Experimental Elementary School" in 2017. Its new campus (2004–2007) was designed as a wall-free, open campus in deliberate dialogue with neighboring historic sites — the Tait & Co. Merchant House, Anping Tree House, and Anping Old Fort — winning the 2007 Yuan Ye Award and the National Award for Excellence in Architectural Planning. The school runs Taiwan's first full-immersion English program among public elementary schools, branded "Ximen goes global" (西門斜槓世界).

西門實小與石門國小同源，皆源自1900年安平公學校的初等部門，1913年獨立為「安平尋常小學校」。1939年遷至今日校址，即原英國領事館舊址，2017年改制為「西門實驗國民小學」。新校區（2004至2007年興建）採無圍牆開放式設計，刻意與鄰近的德記洋行、安平樹屋與安平古堡等歷史地景對話，並榮獲2007年遠東建築獎與國家卓越建築金質獎。學校並開辦全台公立國小首創的全英語沉浸課程，品牌名稱為「西門斜槓世界」。
