At when its dark out it seen a scary and confusing to navigate there are maps of the campus but you in a rush they can been confusing. That said luckily there amply parking and security take there job seriously and are helpful. Higher Education is so important in Maui and this success really is tied to the success of the community as a whole so i'm a fan.

Looked at every option and am close friends with many of the teachers in different schools and they all agree, it's a place like no other, like almost back in time but not. You just don't deal with what you deal with anywhere else and it's hard to explain unless you experience it. I've seen many people try Maui for a short time with young children as a year experiment and literally stay here because of this place...which is much bigger decision that deciding on a neighborhood somewhere. Lunches... Yes... They are catered by a restaurant people love to eat at and how they make it so affordable for the parents, including tuition is beyond me. But be prepared to join in the fun and become part of something that you just have to see for yourself to get. It's not your typical private school... When my kiddo needed tutoring, they rallied around him with a dedication that you would rarely see from one's own family, let alone a school. Now he's ahead of the curve and loves school. Days off are fantastic and little kiddo graduations are like nothing you've ever seen in terms of just fun and support in the aloha spirit. This is the one place on school earth that you can actually tell your kids if they were absent a day, that they didn't miss school...school actually missed them.

I would actually give this school a negative star if I could. The staff is extremely RUDE, both…read moreadministrative as well as teaching. A private school education with NO real professionalism. My child attended their ELC program (When Mrs. Nicole Okada was there teaching the 3yr old group, and she is the ONLY reason why that ELC program succeeded, she is the absolute GEM of all teachers, truly a beautiful soul and we were so blessed to have her for the year that we did. Otherwise the staff (besides Jan Pasamonte- who was another piece of Heaven at that school) is unkind, sassy, brash and down right mean. They do not respond to you in a timely manner, if at all. When you call to inquire about their school, they completely cut you off the phone. (and we called SEVERAL times to give them the benefit of the doubt!) Lahaina has very few options for outstanding pre-K schools and Sacred Hearts is just another example of staff collecting paychecks rather than doing their jobs of educating the future. (DO NOT SEND your child to their preschool program-HORRIBLE, I watched several of their teachers yell and scold these young children- it is NOT a happy place!) **My husband and I actually got into contact with Holy Innocents Preschool, and will take a tour of their school soon, but one thing to note: Their personnel on the phone was actually pleasant to speak with and gave us useful and detailed information- FINALLY

The teachers are intelligent, compassionate, and loving beyond belief. They are sometimes overloaded with many more children than they should have, and yet these teachers rise above everything and shine. Yet often the numbers are perfect and everyone always gets the attention they need, regardless of the degree of challenge to the tireless teachers. I am a substitute teacher and I stand in total honor of the daily educators here. Patient, fair, loving, and real. I can't recommended Pukalani school enough. We are so grateful to have been part of this community!

I think I should know a lot about this place as I spent 9 years of my life here. Back then (wow, I…read morefeel old, LOL) Kahului School was kindergarten through grade 8. My class, the class of 1989, was the last "graduating" class of Kahului School as Maui Waena Intermediate opened up the following school year. The school colors and red and blue, the mascot is the eagle. COOL FACT: The original Kahului School was located at the corner of Kaahumanu Avenue and Kane Street (across of the Maui Beach Hotel and Sears). The sole building stood vacant for years before being torn down maybe 20 years or so ago. THE SCHOOL: The current campus opened in the 1960's and is located at the corner of Lono and Hina Avenues. During my time, the campus consisted of several portable classrooms and 11 buildings all connected to a central covered walkway. It was designed with the youngest students situated at the front of the campus, progressing west towards Maui High School to the upper classmen. Accessibility is convenient via two major streets. None of the buildings were air conditioned except for the main office. Oh yeah, we soldier-children suffered through the heat! MEMORIES: I still remember the smell of the kindergarten classrooms and the hated nap time. Boy, how I long for an after-lunch nap now! Along with age came cafeteria duties. Yes, child labor! We were pulled early from one class and marched to the cafeteria to report for duty. We either helped move trays along the assembly line, emptied leftovers into the slop barrels, or even operated the Hobart-brand dishwasher (not kidding). Aside from ditching class early, you also got to eat lunch earlier. Chicken patty and battered fried fish days were an automatic home-lunch day for me as just the smell of them made me nauseous! Nowadays I like frozen fish sticks but still can't stomach the thought of a chicken patty. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance daily along with a local or national anthem/song of our choice. Yearbook production started around 1983 and I still possess all of them. Believe it or not, I had one "GT" (gifted & talented) class in around the 3rd grade. For some reason it was held in a makeshift janitor's office as there were just a few of us, LOL. Tuesdays were "film days". We all piled into the cafeteria, louvers closed, watching a projector screen in the dark. Excursion days were my favorite as we got to leave campus. You'd see classmates picking up bentos from Noda Market early in the morning before school. Numerous times we'd end up at Baldwin High School's auditorium to take in plays. I ran track for several years and competed in track meets. I was also a band geek and played the clarinet. Our bandroom was so ghetto! It was two portable classrooms surgically attached together to form a doublewide. TEACHERS: Yes, I still remember all nine homeroom teachers along with a few others. K = Mrs. Okuda, 1st = Mrs. Kimura, 2nd = Mrs. Rogers, 3rd = Mrs. Toda, 4th = Mrs. Wainui, 5th = Ms. Machida, 6th = Mrs. Shimabuku, 7th = Mr. Wright, 8th = Mr. Irimata. Band = Mr. Manzano, woodshop = Mr. Norman, PE = Mr. Yap. CURRENT DAY: Grades are now K through 5 only. Two of the permanent buildings burned down due to arson and were never replaced. More ugly portable classrooms dot the campus and faculty park all over the lawn by the kindergarten building. OVERALL: So many fun memories but I really didn't care for school.

Mikaela has always been a shy girl, she never talks to anyone or sings on the stage. She's a total opposite to her twin sister who's more outgoing and and talkative. The teachers of Christ the king helped Kaela open up to her friends and to others. One of the things that touched my heart was when they created an animal clinic inspired by Kaela since she wants to be a veterinarian one day. They sincerely care and love each and every children in their classes. They know they're preferences and the children love them like their own Aunties. These teachers pour out their heart and soul to teach them and prepare them for the future. I love and appreciate you all and I am so sad that I won't see you guys next year and but we will bring the kids to visit!! I recommend CHRIST THE KING PRESCHOOL!
