"LEADING the Future with Students' Talents and Aptitudes" is the school's overall curriculum plan, which is learner-centered and aims to cultivate students' five competencies: LEarning interest, Action and vitality, Dignity of character, INnovation, and Globalization. "LEarning interest" is established through the "Qingshan Learning Community" and "Qingren Counseling" series of courses to lay the foundation for students' lifelong learning. "Action and vitality" is developed through the "Youth Physical Fitness" curriculum to promote students' physical and mental health. "Dignity of character" is fostered through the "Youth Character" curriculum to promote students' wholesome character and life education. "INnovation" is stimulated through the "Wenqing Creative Arts" and "Qingyun Technology" series of courses to inspire students' design thinking and computational creativity. "Globalization" is cultivated through the "International Qing Shan" program to develop students' identity with local culture and global caring action.
Since 2016, Qing Shan Elementary and Junior High School has embarked on a new vision, "Rising with Qing Shan Cloud School, a Creative Art and International School," which focuses on developing children's core competencies and abilities and actively developing school-based curriculum. In 2017, the school established the country's first "Programming Education Experience Center," and in 2019, the Qing Shan D.School was officially inaugurated. The junior high school building was also equipped with a cross-domain practical education corridor in New Taipei City, and a green energy smart home and plaza were built with the support of teacher and student camps and fundraising from international Rotary clubs. In the same year, Qing Shan's Sustainable Education Platform (SEP) was selected as the flagship of the 109th New Taipei City Innovative Education Accelerator, receiving a subsidy of 5 million NT dollars annually for three consecutive years to develop a cross-domain, cross-school, cross-border, and cross-industry teaching material sharing platform.
The school has also worked tirelessly to develop the 12-year national curriculum and innovative teaching methods, winning numerous awards, including the New Taipei City Teaching Excellence Award, the Ministry of Education Teaching Excellence Gold Award, the "Map of Aesthetic Life Learning Practice Project" National Special Gold Award, and the CommonWealth Magazine Education Foundation's "2019 Future Education Taiwan 100."
In the Qingshan school courtyard, statues of the goddess of wisdom, Athena, and the god of courage, Poseidon, stand on either side, while the Victory goddess, Nike, gazes down upon them. During morning assemblies, students gather on the steps, resembling a congregation of philosophers, artists, and scientists as if recreating Raphael's "The School of Athens" from the early 16th century. The Qingshan community shares a common vision and fosters a culture that is as warm as a home. We believe that we are one big family (We are family), we have dreams for education (We have a dream), we work together with our hearts to do our best (Do our best), and we believe that our dreams will ultimately come true through our children (Our dream will come true).
