The curriculum flows organically from class to class--if a subject from Language Arts connects to Science, the faculty embrace it and go with it! Everyone is so open, receptive and creative and kind! Class sizes are small, so your child is given great individualized instruction, but they aren't so small where the social interaction is limited. The creativity in adventures and regular school outings across Oahu are incredible. In many ways, the island is the classroom! We just love this place and are so grateful for its faculty. staff, and visionary and compassionate leadership. Joel Staggers is a remarkable leader. If you are considering private Christian education, look no further than Trinity Christian School.

Kapunahala Elementary School is where I spent my grade school years and where our daughter Kimmee…read morealso attended. What makes this school so great is not only it's convenient location which is less than a block away but the consistently great administrative and teaching staff that has become a standard here over the years. The academic and human values learned here has stuck with me throughout my life and helped me in my development as I moved on in life and into the tough world of being a teenager. One of the best programs at Kapunahala Elementary when our daughter was attending there was the AGT(academically gifted and talented) which started to mold her interests which later became a career in performing arts. Our daughter Kimmee went on to join the touring cast of the Broadway hit musical Miss Saigon, was on the original Broadway cast of Mama Mia and later cast on the Discovery channel's popular children's TV show HI-5. It's hard to make a fair conclusion when you only know of one place but through personal experience and results the assumption that Kapunahala Elementary is the best place to send your kids might not be all that wrong.

With very few principals over the years KES has been under some great leadership and care. It has shown with the amazing students that come through as well as the teachers who are so passionate about their students, school, and teaching. The students have the best of what is available to them and the administration makes sure they are plugged in where ever necessary. KES is a big campus but small group with about 250-300 students in all and a total 'ohana environment. They really care for the children like their own and know how to make visiting families feel like they've been there forever. The teachers set goals for themselves and for the students with the principal and make sure they are on track with meeting them throughout the year. Their focus is definitely on developing the whole child. From academics to social (with friends or in clubs) and beyond the children are able to get a well rounded education, positive influences, and make lifelong memories! Once a Honu always a Honu.

The principal works so hard for her students and her staff, staying late, putting on events, and creating memories. Keolu is a small school with only one class per grade. One of the school's values is that every student is known. We love this about the school!
