Uncle Glenn her teacher and Pablo who founded and still runs the school have been a pleasure to work with. All the other staff are always super friendly and helpful! I can tell that they really care about my daughter and her development. There's always activities for them to do and they even send pictures throughout the day too which is nice to see. Plus, the Friday dance party videos are the best :) Thanks Alaka'i Academy!

I would give this school zero stars if I could. The teachers don't take care of the kids.

The girls who watch the kids don't have any child development backgrounds just people off the street. There are many horror story about this school and bad experiences. Now Pablo wants to charge us for half a month of tuition when my son hasn't attended the school in weeks. They locked my son in a room and let him cry until we came to pick him up.

Wow, I can't believe that I am the first to Yelp about 'St. Joseph's, our Dear Alma Mater...'…read more Words any alumni would know by Heart. What to say about St. Joseph? The first would be that I think it is a bit misunderstood. While I didn't always like it, (what High Schooler really loves being in school?), St. Joe's was a special place. As I have gotten older, I have grown to appreciate that more and more. In the years since leaving its halls, at this point, nearing 15 years since I graduated, I have run into a great many other alum and it has a very family feel. My class was stacked at 54 students, the largest in years at the time, so for those of us who make it through St. Joe, we do become family, it was more than just a number. The best part of St. Joseph, believe it or not, are the teachers. As you grow older, you realize that those people were really caring and did have a love because teachers in general are underpaid, especially teachers in small Catholic schools. Anyhow, I recommend this spot. There will be those who hate any school you send them to but at least you will know your kids are among a special group.

Please look for our Mermaid University and Manō University childrens pool classes held at the Fairmont Kea Lani every Tuesday! *Must be guests of the resort. Our mission at Mermaids on Maui is To Inspire - To Educate - and To Ignite. We INSPIRE our Keiki to be confident in their own skin, or 'tail'; and we encourage them to have a positive attitude, and positive self esteem - in the water, or on land! We EDUCATE our Keiki to care for our precious resources, from Mauka to Makai! Here in Hawai'i we say "Aloha 'Āina", and this is means to love, care for, and to honor the land. We perpetuate the Hawaiian culture and language in our classes, in the hope that you will swim away with a deeper love and understanding for all that Hawai'i has to offer. We IGNITE in our Keiki, a passion for Ocean Conservationism that we hope will follow them for a lifetime!

AND its cheap as far as private school tuition goes.. I spent my last year at Parker, but I wish I could have started earlier!
