Kinmen (Chinese: 金門; literally "Golden Door" or "Golden Gate") is a small archipelago of several islands administered by the Republic of China (ROC) government on Taiwan: Greater Quemoy (大金門), Lesser Quemoy (小金門), and some islets.

Administratively, it is Kinmen County of Fujian (Fuchien) province. The county is claimed as part of Fujian's Quanzhou Prefecture by the People's Republic of China. Some islands of other counties, such as Wuciou, were transferred to the jurisdiction of Kinmen County by the ROC government following its retreat to Taiwan. Matsu is the other set of islands on the Fujian coast controlled by the ROC.

Many of the inhabitants speak the Southern Min language. Quemoy is geographically very near Xiamen (also known as Amoy).

Contributed by the ancestral shrine of the Changs, Jinsha elementary school was founded in 1913. In 1915, the first elementary school of the 4th section was established. Due to the funds raised by the people around the town in 1933, Jinsha School was built and named then. (No.1 Chengkung Rd, Jinsha Town at present) In 1937, the school was closed during WWII.

Reopening in 1946, Jinsha School was renamed Kinmen County Jinsha Central School and was then merged with private Wen- pu elementary school in 1949. With a kindergarten added-on in 1965, the school was renamed Kinmen County Jinsha Elementary School in 1968, and has been used since.

Contributing to the lack of natural condition, the school could not be enlarged and was thus supported by the Kinmen County Government’s grant aid and moved to a new school site. Also, because of the land and funds donated by warmhearted folks, the new school building was established in August, 1970. The school has transferred to the present address (NO.117, Houputou, Jinsha Town, Kimen County) since then.
