About · 學校簡介

A small school, deeply rooted in performing arts.

Chihpen Junior High was founded in 1968 and, with roughly 117 students, remains one of the smaller junior highs in Taitung City. Its signature offering is a "Music, Dance and Cultural Creativity Experimental Class," which places strong emphasis on Indigenous performing arts. The school takes its name from Zhiben, a district known throughout Taiwan for its hot springs and home to a significant Puyuma community — placing the school squarely within one of Taitung City's most recognizable neighborhoods.
