We are the public middle school of Waimea. We accept all 6th-8th grade students. We are a school of choice, recognized for our safe, caring learning environment and dedicated team of teachers and staff. We also are recognized for innovation, organizational accountability, cultural awareness, and family-community connection. Our recently renewed WASC Accreditation through 2027 confirms this!

Our focus areas are Literacy, Numeracy, Student Care and Sustainability and we are determined to "empower all students with the skills, values and cultural understanding to successfully navigate high school and beyond." But this challenges our public charter school budget - which has been exacerbated by the pandemic!

CULTURAL DIVERSITY & KULEANA: 'Ike Hawai'i cultural learning is incorporated into the school day and includes coming together every Monday morning for Piko to set intentions for the week ahead, plus practicing traditional protocols, and learning about the people, stories and practices of this special place we call home.
