Kula Ki‘eki‘e is the culmination of an incredible formative experience in the younger years of a keiki’s development. After a haumāna has worked on establishing their sense of awareness and exploration in the earlier years of school, we can now prioritize student agency at the high school. With that strong kahua, we encourage our haumāna to turn their aspirations into reality and equip them to be successful future ‘ōiwi leaders. We have built our entire grade 9-12 experience to support that journey with the goal of seeing our graduates succeed in college, career, and life.
