A tiny school on the ridge, with a great big idea of what learning can be.
一所八卦台地上的迷你小學，懷抱著對「學習」最寬廣的想像。
Tongan Elementary sits high on the Bagua tableland of Fenyuan, Changhua — a quiet place of coffee groves, pineapple fields, and beehives. Founded in 1922, our school has watched over the children of Zhonglun and Tongan villages for more than a century.
同安國小坐落在彰化縣芬園鄉的八卦台地上——這裡有咖啡園、鳳梨田與蜂箱。學校創立於民國 11 年（1922），逾百年來守護著中崙、同安兩村的孩子。
We are small — fewer than seventy students — and we turn that into our greatest strength. With so few children, every single one is known, seen, and given room to shine. A decade ago this school nearly closed; today it is a nationally recognized "Top 100 Future-Education School," proof that a country school need never settle for less.
我們很小——全校不到七十人——而我們把「小」變成最大的優勢。因為孩子少，每一個孩子都被看見、被認識、都有發光的舞台。十年前這所學校幾乎要被裁併；今天它是全國「未來教育臺灣 100」特色學校，證明偏鄉小校絕不必妥協於「弱勢」。
Our promise is captured in three words our children live by — "Learning by Doing" and "Just do it!" Here, every child learns to be kind, capable, and curious — ready for Taiwan and ready for the world, in two languages.
我們的信念濃縮成孩子們天天實踐的一句話——「做中學」、「Just do it!」在這裡，每個孩子都學著成為「好品德、有能力、愛學習」的『好有愛』孩子——以雙語，迎向臺灣、迎向世界。
One small school, four big ways to grow.
一所小學校，四條成長的路。
Building blocks, coding, woodworking, and science fairs. Tongan has placed first in the county science fair five years running — and second in the whole nation.
Spoken English, a foreign-teacher classroom, bilingual P.E., and gold-medal CyberFair projects connect our children to the wider world.
Every child at Tongan learns the violin. Add dance, drama, and keyboard, and art becomes part of everyday school life.
Rock climbing, tree climbing, archery, and cycling — plus our own coffee, pineapples, and bees. The whole hillside is our classroom.
Working with local coffee farmers, Tongan students follow the whole journey — planting the trees, roasting and grinding the beans, even building wooden pour-over stands by sawing, drilling, and sanding. Coffee is how our children learn about their land, their community, and the joy of doing things with their own hands.
