Bilingual
Free Talk with our foreign teachers
Every week, children spend their break chatting in English with our foreign teachers about a themed topic — and collect learning points as they go. No textbook, no grades, just real conversation.
Welcome
Welcome
A small island school with a wide horizon
Magong Elementary School sits in the heart of Magong City, a few minutes' walk from the harbour and the historic temples of Penghu. We began in 1899 as Magong Public School, and every other elementary school in the city can trace its roots back to our campus.
Being an island school shapes how we teach. Our children learn about the ocean that surrounds them, the basalt and coral that built their houses, and the languages that connect their small archipelago to a very large world.
- Bilingual instruction in selected subjects since 2021
- Designated a 5G Smart Learning Benchmark School in 2023
- Home of the Penghu Indigenous Peoples Education Resource Center
- Specialist classes in Music, Dance and Special Education
Our campus
Green, open and by the sea
Old banyan trees, a full-size sports field, an art gallery corridor and a library that looks out over the schoolyard.
Our vision
Mastery · Gusto · Empathy · Sustainability
Four words guide every lesson we plan and every decision we make.
💡
Mastery
Children who ask their own questions, work at them, and get good at something they chose themselves.
⚡
Gusto
Sport, music, dance and play — a healthy body carries a curious mind.
🤝
Empathy
Every child is known by name. Nobody is left at the edge of the playground.
🌱
Sustainability
Learning to look after the islands, the ocean and each other — for a long time to come.

What makes us different
Four things we are proud of
Programmes our teachers built themselves, tested in real classrooms, and keep improving.
Literacy
Tomorrow English Reading
An illustrated audiobook programme that pairs English picture books with recordings by our own students, so beginners hear familiar voices reading to them.
Festivals
Festivals children actually take part in
Halloween costumes made from recycled materials, Christmas carolling in English, and an international education quest that sends children exploring the whole campus with tablets.
Hands-on
Science Week, run in the open air
Street science demonstrations, water rockets, rubber-band cars and compressed air vehicles — a whole week that ends in a school-wide practical competition.
Wang Wen-Jui
Principal, Magong Elementary School
From the principal
“Teach children to learn, to live, and to love others.”
Education, at its heart, is about helping a person become a person. Children are the centre of what we do; teachers are the backbone that holds it up.
My hope for Magong Elementary is simple. I want a school with excellent administration, a rich curriculum and professional teachers — and a school where care reaches everyone, communication is easy, and every child's own particular talent is given room to grow.
