By order of the government, the school started evening sessions in 1953, which stopped enrolling new students in 1981.

The evening sessions terminated two years later after the final students in the programme graduated.

The scheme of the campus blends Chinese traditional structure and Western European classical style.

Datong was praised as the best school building of Taiwan by the National Association of Architects in 1994.

The school is accessible within walking distance north of Songjiang Nanjing Station of Taipei Metro.
