Attended the 2023 HHSAA Wrestling Championships at Cannon Activities Center on Brigham Young University-Hawaii. This is a beautiful campus. I love the openness of this campus. The most beautiful scenery I have ever seen at a university. Lush mountains and fresh breeze with a hint of salt. The arena can old up to 4500 guest and the seats are pretty comfy. I can see why this university is like the heart of this community. Thank you for hosting this years high school wrestling championships and for welcoming everyone with open arms.

I appreciate how they speak Hawaiian every day in their morning protocol. All the Kumu give a 110%. The principal, Amanda Fung, truly cares about the students and is easy to reach and communicate with. They have after school clubs and my kids have learned how to knit, sew and dance hula. We also love the community events they have like the trunk or treat and spring carnival. We invite our neighbors and family friends to join in on the fun. They also have a great broadcast club where the keiki work with Olelo. I'm very thankful to have this charter school, the only one in central O'ahu, so close to my home. I have four kids and hope my other two can attend when they are in elementary school.

My child has been attending Kamalani Academy for more than a year now and I have to say how…read moregrateful, as a parent, I am to have found this wonderful charter school alternative to Hawaii's Department of Education (DOE). Kamalani has the feel of a private school and their teachers and staff strive to enrich my child's education and development. Led by principal Amanda Fung, the school prides itself on creating opportunities and partnerships in the community designed to benefit our students and staff. Although I live in Kapolei, taking the daily trio to Kamalani Academy it's a small price to pay to make sure my son gets an advantage in his education and his mentality for when he becomes an adult committed to doing good in his community. The pandemic pushed us to explore new education options for a child and we are so grateful to have found this school where individuals work hard to raise up our students in the true spirit of aloha. Mahalo Kamalani Academy and all the staff for everything they have done, where we all continue to work hard for our kids to excel.

The leadership at this school is trash. Almost every week my kids came home telling me about a…read morefight at school between the kids and staff. When picking up my kids I would see kids fighting at the park next to the school almost every month! No security guards, teachers, nothing to stop it and when I called the school they said they would send security up they didn't. Even parents just sitting in their cars watching! Apparently because it's off campus they can't do anything, well even your presence would deter kids from fighting! My kids would come home of stories of kids doing drugs, smoking, and having sex in bathrooms. Where the hell is leadership?! The leadership here is weak and that's why the kids don't respect the rules or the school, and do what they want to. The principal is terrible he denied our GE because that's his "default" policy to deny everyone and put them on a waitlist and wanted to kick our kids out with only 3 months left of school! When we challenged that decision he reluctantly allowed them to stay till the end of the school year, but not before contacting my other son's elementary school up the road to let them know of the address change. (Pretty sure sharing other people's information like that is illegal, but whatever). What's sad is this school has so much potential to be a really good school. They have so much to offer kids in terms of extra curricular activities, but their leadership is so bad! Why even have like 7 VP's?! They should all be replaced. They are doing the kids a disservice with their lack of support and enforcement.

I want to start off with how happy we are that our son attends HTA. It was a great choice and big win. We have older children who go to multiple schools and HTA by far has won us over. The atmosphere and the attention that our son received in school is by far the greatest. The one on one with the student and teacher ratio works out great our kindergartener has excelled in so many ways. He's about to move on to first grade and he already can read books and tell time not only digital time but the wall clock which I remember only learning in the 3rd grade back in the day. He is also able to identify the currency (worth of each coin and what each coin is called) We do noticed a BIG difference in our son's confidence level and not being afraid to speak up and present his animal research to his fellow classmates. The teachers and staff are all so supportive and they are always so kind. They know every child just about by name which is great because they can identify each child's presence which is valuable and also for safety reasons. They also address any concerns or issues right away with the child and parents/ guardians. HTA has great staff who is able to provide support to the children and parents/ guardians. We are thankful that we are able to join our son on his class Field Studies. It is a true blessing to be able to have this experience to be able to understand what our child is learning on a daily basis. They have weekly agendas which keeps us organized and on schedule. We hope you enjoyed our first year experience review with HTA. Having a kind and supportive team makes a GREAT difference! So be nice to the staff members they deserve the Best!!

My nefew was bullied for his lunch and couldn't eat that day, the next day or two the same kid who is much bigger than him pushed him down and when mom called the school they just flagged her off. He was staying home for a couple of days out of fear and when I grew up this type of topic was handled in a timely fashion and not go on until something else worse happens. I thought schools here was better at handling this type of situation which is a very serious topic.

They are a private school (only K-8th), but I have found that their tuition is lower compared to others on the island. They also give a military discount. As someone who has worked in education, I was very skeptical about the school. But our kids have been happy- they want to be in school, and that means everything to me. They are a microschool, so they combine classes (which is what I was mainly skeptical of). But I have seen that the kids all work well together, and the teachers are super organized in helping students at their level. So, if you are considering transitioning from homeschool to a traditional school (or just wanting a school that focuses on the whole child) - consider Ho'ala.
