About Beidou JHS

關於北斗國中 · 一所立於北斗七星下的永續學校
Where gratitude, technology, reading, and sports grow young people with roots in the land and eyes on the stars.
感恩、科技、閱讀、運動——四個字,一所在北斗鎮土地上耕耘、仰望宇宙星空的學校。

Welcome to Beidou Junior High School, a public junior high in the heart of Beidou Township, Changhua County. Founded on April 25, 1946, our campus spans 5.6 hectares and is home to 608 students and 60 teachers. We are guided by our GTRS philosophy — Gratitude, Technology, Reading, Sports — in every subject, every season.

北斗國中創立於民國 35 年 4 月 25 日,校地面積 5.6 公頃,現有學生 608 人、教師 60 位。以「感恩、科技、閱讀、運動」(GTRS)為辦學核心——這四個信念,貫穿每一堂課、每一場活動。

We are best known as Changhua's food-agriculture education flagship: our campus hosts a smart farm, a rainwater collection system, and 2,083 solar panels across seven buildings — the largest solar installation of any school in Changhua County. Our domed astronomical observatory, opened in 2020, gives every student the chance to look through a 13-cm refractor telescope and see their place in the universe.

GTRS Education

GTRS 辦學理念 · 四根支柱,撐起一所北斗的學校

At Beidou Junior High, everything flows from four convictions — Gratitude, Technology, Reading, and Sports. These are not slogans on a banner; they are the weekly routines, the curriculum design, and the culture of our campus.

北斗國中的一切,從四個信念出發:感恩、科技、閱讀、運動。這不是牆上的標語,而是每週的作息、課程的設計,以及北中的校園文化。

We start with thankfulness — for the land, the community, and the teachers who show up every day. Gratitude is the foundation that makes every other value possible.

Technology
科技
From the solar-panel roof to the astronomical observatory to the air-pollution monitoring box in the bilingual classroom — we bring technology down to earth so students can touch it, build it, and question it.

Sports
運動
A healthy body is the engine for everything else. Whether it is woodball on the field or team sports in the gym, we believe that moving together builds the confidence to learn together.
