About our Programs:
The mission of Ke Kula Nā ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani o Kaʻū is to provide our keiki of Kaʻū with opportunities to achieve academic success and personal growth through a Hawaiian immersion education experience. Ke Kula Nā ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani o Kaʻū is an inclusive center of knowledge, where we teach the whole 'Ohana: Keiki, Makua, and Kūpuna. Ke Kula Nā ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani o Kaʻū provides support to our lāhui of Kaʻū — including home-schooled ʻohana grades K-5 and Pre-Kindergarten keiki — through an ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi immersion pilot program grounded in culture and ʻāina.
Kū Hāweo Project:
With this project we have provided ʻOhana Child Interaction Learning (FCIL) opportunities to preschool-aged keiki (0-5 years old) and their ʻohana, to establish school readiness and lay the foundation for a Hawaiian language and cultural immersion early learning program here in Kaʻū.
