台東縣萬安國民小學創校於民國三十四年，位於花東海岸山脈中段，交通雖不算便捷，但鄰近環境稻禾逐波、海岸山脈層峰交錯，構成一幅福掠人眼目的極致景色。目前編制十二個班級，一百多位學生，但卻擁有全國公私國小最大的八•四三公頃的校地，二十五位教職員工，平均年齡約三十八歲，家長職業與環境單純，學生乖巧，創校六十多年來，學校和社區關係良好、互動頻繁，學校成為社區活動的重要據點，也具備多元發展的潛力。

　　振興分校目前隸屬萬安國民小學，原為台東縣振興國民小學，民國四十八年間，經地方熱心人士，多方爭取，於四十八年九月一日奉准獨立設校。當時池上─利吉道路尚未開闢，交通甚為不便，幸賴全體村民極力配合獨立設校，工作始告順利完成。於民國85年因就讀人數減少，奉令裁併為萬安國小振興分校。

　　本校雖僅有十二個班級，一百多位學生，處在此質樸的社區環境中，我們的孩子顯得比較憨厚、缺乏自信。也因為學生數少，同儕間缺乏良性競爭，促使孩子自我要求動機較薄弱，比較安於現狀。不過純樸的民風，卻造就一個個天真無邪的孩子，他們雖然不曾擁有外界豐碩的物質享受，卻有大自然孩子的盈盈心靈。

　　為了激起孩子隱藏的潛力，考量學校的有利條件、社區資源、特性，家長期望、學生需求等等相關因素，凝聚共識，建立學校教育願景，發展學校本位課程，包括：開放教育的推動、小班教學精神的試辦、學習型組織與家庭共學的推行、九年一貫課程的試辦、進而發展出適合學校、社區、家長與學生需求的教育願景及學校本位課程。這是本校多年來校務發展努力的方向，只有建立共同的奮鬥目標，才能化阻力為助力，進而突顯學校的特色。透過計畫、實踐、檢核、回饋與修正的歷程，幾年來親、師、生不斷的合作與努力，逐漸形成萬安模式的文化和機制，也讓萬安國小獨具特色的校園文化，獲得許多的肯定和掌聲。

　　Wan-an Elementary School is located at the southeastern end of Chishang Township, Taitung County, and it used to be named "Forest". The east is near the coastal mountains (The faulted cliff formed by a pool fault), The West is the sendiment of XinwuLü River, super water quality and natural environment, creat well-known "Chishang Rice" in Taiwan. The rice fields of different styles in the four seasons are the most abundant assets of the community.The campus and community surrounded by rice fields together present a rural image that is independent, quiet, elegant and natural.

　　Wan-an Elementary School was established in 1945. At present, there are 12 classes and more than 50 students, but it has the largest school area of 8.43 hectares in the country. The school has more than thirty Faculty and Staff,and the average age of the staff is about 38 years old. The school has a good relationship with the community, and the school has become an important base for community activities. It also has the potential of multiple development.

　　With the efforts of the villagers,the locals overcame the inconvenience of the traffic,and Zhen-Xing Elementary School was established in 1959. However,because the number of students was in decrease,it was ordered to become the branch of Wan-an Elementary School.

　　People in the community live a plain life,and the children are more simple-minded and less confident. Because of the small number of students, the competition between peers is not strong enough, so most of them are not motivated. With the plain living, the children are innocent and care-free.
