Yeyou Elementary School

Yeyou Elementary began in 1947 as a branch of Lanyu National School and became fully independent in August 1963, making it one of Orchid Island's oldest schools. In August 2020 it became the first school on the island to convert to Indigenous experimental education. Since 2006 its campus has also hosted the Lanyu branch of Taitung County's Indigenous Tribal College, extending its role in community education well beyond its own students. The school is best known, however, for founding the "Little Flying Fish Cultural Performance Group" in 2006 — a student troupe that has won national awards and performed internationally, including in New Zealand in 2015 and Poland in 2019, and whose story helped inspire the 2018 Taiwanese film "Only the Sea Knows."

椰油國小創立於1947年，原為蘭嶼國校分校，1963年8月正式獨立設校，是蘭嶼歷史最悠久的學校之一。2020年8月，該校成為全島第一所轉型為原住民實驗教育的學校。自2006年起，校園也設有台東縣原住民族部落大學蘭嶼分校，教育角色早已超越一般在校學生。不過，椰油國小最為人所知的，是2006年成立的「小飛魚文化展演隊」——這支學生表演隊曾榮獲全國獎項，並多次赴海外演出，包括2015年紐西蘭與2019年波蘭，其故事更成為2018年台灣電影《只有大海知道》的靈感來源。
