A century that began inside a temple.
Zhuwei Elementary was founded on April 1, 1921, as a teaching branch of Dayuan Public School, with classes meeting inside the local Fuhai Temple (福海宮) before its own school building was completed the following year. The school was upgraded to Zhuwei Public School in 1928, and renamed Zhuwei National School after Taiwan's 1945 retrocession. With over a century of history, its story traces directly back to Dayuan's original Japanese-era public school system.
竹圍國小於1921年（大正10年）4月1日創立，最初為大園公學校的教學分校，開學之初借用當地福海宮上課，隔年（1922年）自有校舍才落成啟用。1928年（昭和3年）升格為竹圍公學校，1945年臺灣光復後改名為竹圍國民學校。學校擁有逾百年校史，其淵源直接可追溯至大園日治時期的公學校教育體系。
