Since 2017, Hālau ʻO Kapikohānaiāmālama has been serving our Hawaiian community across Maui. It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing Hawaiian learning space for our haumāna, from kamaiki to ʻōpio.
We strive to provide experiences that will shape these ʻōiwi into leaders for our future. Hālau ʻo Kapikohānaiāmālama emphasizes experiences that develop a student’s aloha for their ʻāina through interdisciplinary courses that are based in kuanaʻike Hawaiʻi – traditional Hawaiian knowledge through moʻolelo - stories, mele – song, chants and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi – Hawaiian language.
This four-week summer learning program is open to students entering grades K-12, including Kamehameha Schools students, students attending State of Hawaiʻi DOE, public charter schools and other private institutions. We offer early college courses, and specialty courses like Hoʻokele Waʻa and Hawaiian Ethnobotany.
Online dual credit courses led by Assistant Principal of Digital Learning Dr. Lisa Correa.
Online high school courses led by Mrs. Lauren Noa.
Skilled trade certification program led by Mrs. Lauren Noa.
