樟湖生態國民中小學 Jhanghu Ecological Junior High and Elementary School

原本的樟湖國小因莫拉克風災危害，校門口因溪流向源侵蝕而崩塌，學校被判定為危險校舍，只好易地重建，為了找尋安全無虞的地點興建是了不少時間和精神。最後由張榮發基金會認養異地重建的學校，不但讓新校舍順利重建完善。更體恤位處偏鄉地區的小朋友求學不易，又加碼增設國中部，成為台灣第一所九年一貫制的公立森林中小學。

樟湖生態中小學的另一頭，可見整片茶園，有著U字形彎曲一路綿延，此刻，只想品味一杯綠茶，茶園盡頭有條小徑，一直往上可抵達丞豐養生農莊，但是禁止進入茶農小徑喔，以免影響茶農作業，請由丞豐養生農莊進入，從丞豐的觀景平台，登高望遠景致超級棒，可由樟湖生態中小學前方馬路開車右轉上山，這樣走起來也比較舒適喔。

Jhanghu is the first public educational institution of its kind Taiwanwide. Established as an elementary school in the village of the same name in a mountainous part of Gukeng, the institution was forced to relocate to a new site 5 kilometers away after Typhoon Morakot lashed Taiwan in August 2009.

Construction on the new school, which ran from July 2012 to September 2013, included the addition of a junior high section. The project was made possible with NT$171 million (US$570,000) in funding from Taipei City-based Chang Yung-fa Foundation.

Although the campus measures 2.78 hectares, only 9,000 square meters were utilized, Chen said, adding that its 10 buildings are smaller than those of other schools. Each classroom can accommodate 20 students at most.
