Ziqiang Elementary School

Ziqiang Elementary received preparatory approval on January 3, 2001, and was formally established on April 12, 2001, with Chen Li-kuang as founding principal. Its school emblem, designed that August by then-Longshou Elementary principal Lin Cong-ming, draws on the I Ching phrase 'as heaven's movement is ever vigorous, the noble person ceaselessly strengthens themselves' — a direct play on the school's own name, Ziqiang, meaning 'self-strengthening.' In August 2002, a century-old camphor tree with a 4.2-meter trunk circumference was transplanted onto campus. The campus totals 21,473 square meters, but four-fifths of the site is sloped hillside, leaving only about 0.4 hectares of usable flat land, in the 'lower Guishan' (下龜山) hill area.

自強國小於2001年1月3日獲籌設核准，同年4月12日正式設校，首任校長為陳立光。校徽由時任龍壽國小校長林聰明於同年8月設計，取意《易經》「天行健，君子以自強不息」，呼應校名「自強」二字。2002年8月，一株樹圍4.2公尺的百年樟樹移植至校園內；一、二期校舍分別於2003年8月與2004年2月完工。校地總面積21,473平方公尺，惟其中五分之四為坡地，可用平地僅約0.4公頃，座落於「下龜山」丘陵地帶。
