“The Multiple Learning Stage" is where our students showcase their academic achievements, drill martial arts, play flute and ocarina, or explain ecological situations. It is here that our kids are cultivated to be elites who respect life and take things seriously and who can read, write, speak, think, do, and even fight like soldiers. Visitors to our school are always fascinated by our kids, shouting "It's amazing.”

It is our goal to develop special features of our school and to reduce the gap between urban and rural areas, so that our students can have the same performance as those kids in the big cities and will be more competitive in the future after the guidance of our teachers.
Our professional team has designed a series of courses, including Plowing Deep into Kun Shan, Exploration of Qi-Fen Village, Field Trips to Xinshi District, which focus on local art and aesthetics, ecology and environment, natural landscape, culture and humanities. Interwoven with the five fragrances of books, artworks, fruits, mushrooms, and grass, our curriculum featuring “Lively Kun Shan and Fragrant Paradise" is considered as a classic among all the schools with special features, thus making our school a pilgrimage target for study tour.

You can’t see fireflies under the broad daylight, can you? Yes, we can. Inside the multi-level ecosystem conservation areas of our Starlight Forest, you can see a diversity of native plants of Taiwan. On top of that, the biggest attraction is that you can see fluorescence flashing here and there in the daytime. Our rich and vivid study-tour courses make it not only very convenient for our teachers and students to teach and to learn what the books have to say but also very handy to practice "knowledge out of the book and ability into life" if we add in some important issues for advocacy. It is hoped that the abilities our kids learn and develop here can go with them and influence them forever.

A modern and traditional combination, Kun Shan Elementary School is "small but complete".
