One of postwar Taipei's earliest schools.
Chang'an Elementary School was founded in 1948, placing it among the first wave of postwar Taipei schools established even before the 1949 Nationalist retreat to Taiwan reshaped the city's population. Located on Jilin Road, in the dense grid of mainland-China-named streets at the historic core of Zhongshan District, the school has had fourteen principals since its founding, with current principal Yan Shuozhu taking office in 2018.
A coeducational public elementary school offering all six standard grade levels, Chang'an counts among its notable alumni Zhou Haozhen (pen name Zhou Ning), former editor-in-chief at Far Stream Publishing Company (遠流出版公司), one of Taiwan's major publishing houses.
