our program offerings nurture the whole child

ready to experience earth school for yourself?
“A place where learning feels alive.”
Earth School has completely transformed how my child connects with learning. Every day she comes home excited to share what she discovered in the forest or on the beach. The community is nurturing, grounded, and truly honors each child’s curiosity.
“Exactly what education should feel like.”
As an educator myself, I’m blown away by the intention behind every part of Earth School. The hands-on approach, the land-based projects, and the warmth of the teachers create an environment where kids grow with confidence and joy.
“Our child has never thrived like this before.”
We’ve tried several school environments, and nothing compares to the sense of belonging our son feels here. He’s grounded, curious, and truly seen. Earth School Hawaiʻi is more than a school…it’s a community that honors children and the land.
