At first, the school was named Lishan Science Experimental High School, and planned to recruit excellent science-aptitude students nationwide, but the city council overruled the decision.

So the government canceled the proposal and started to build the school in 1993.

The lesson is to make students discover the facts that they are interested in and try to solve it by themselves.

Every year, the best of the student's research projects will be chosen to join to science fair.

LSSH has got many prizes from this type of competition, especially in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
