A KULA HAWAI'I

A Kula is committed to the re-examination of the Hawaiian Native Traditions which were likely misinterpreted under colonial influence. The Native Hawaiian culture has a rich and sophisticated philosophical tradition that was not previously understood. With our integrated systems of learning, A Kula will help bring a new respect to the indigenous population of the island... We are an independent non-profit school located on a beautiful 22-acre campus on the North Shore of Kauaʻi. A Kula originally opened its doors in 1995 and is now reopening after being closed for several years. Being situated in Hawaii, a special emphasis on an Indigenous model of knowing and learning is integrated into the curriculum... We believe all learning starts with positive and respectful relationships. By prioritizing relationships, our students will develop a deep sense of belonging and safety that are essential to taking risks, learning, and growing together.
