A school built into a public-housing tower.
Zhongyi Elementary School was built in 1966 as part of the government's redevelopment of the South Airport (南機場) public-housing complex, occupying floors two through five of a mixed-use building called "Zhongyi Building" that had a retail market on the ground floor. Taipei City reclaimed the ground-floor market space from vendors in 1976 and converted it into additional classrooms, and the Ministry of Education approved a dedicated judo class (柔道班) in 1991. Effective August 1, 2024, the school converted to a school-based experimental-education model and was renamed "Taipei Municipal Zhongyi Experimental Elementary School," reflecting Taiwan's broader push toward alternative and experimental public education.
忠義國小創立於民國55年(1966年),為政府南機場公共住宅整建計畫的一部分,校舍設於一棟複合式大樓「忠義樓」的二至五樓,一樓原為市場攤商使用。台北市政府於民國65年(1976年)收回一樓市場空間,改建為教室;民國80年(1991年)教育部核准設立柔道班。自民國113年(2024年)8月1日起,本校轉型為學校本位實驗教育,並更名為「臺北市忠義實驗國民小學」,反映台灣近年推動另類與實驗教育的趨勢。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🏢 Built Into a Housing Complex
南機場住宅大樓內的學校
The school occupies floors two through five of a mixed-use building in the South Airport public-housing complex — a market once operated on the ground floor before the city reclaimed it for classrooms in 1976.
🥋 A Dedicated Judo Class
柔道班
Approved by the Ministry of Education in 1991, the school's dedicated judo class has become a distinctive part of its athletics program.
🔄 A Recent Experimental-Education Shift
2024年轉型實驗教育
Effective August 2024, the school converted to a school-based experimental-education model, becoming "Taipei Municipal Zhongyi Experimental Elementary School" — one of the most recent name changes among the district's schools.
Inside the South Airport community.
Physically embedded in the South Airport (南機場) public housing community — one of Taipei's earliest large-scale postwar social-housing projects — near the Botanical Garden and National Museum of History, the school illustrates Zhongzheng District's mix of elite institutions and working-class public housing within the same few blocks. See the Taipei county page for more on the region.
