A name that marks 1945, a school built for scale.
Guangfu Elementary School is one of Zhonghe's larger elementary schools, with 63 regular classes and roughly 1,652 students, plus additional special-education classes. Like many schools carrying the name "Guangfu" (光復, meaning "Retrocession"), it commemorates Taiwan's return from Japanese rule after 1945 — though the school's own precise founding date is not confirmed in available records. The school maintains an active program of international exchange.
