our community

our Learning extends far beyond the classroom

rooted in community, guided by place

We believe real learning happens when children step into the world around them. Our community partners open their spaces and expertise to our students, offering experiences in sustainability, culture, farming, and environmental care of Hawaii’s land and waters through hands-on stewardship.
