Early Childhood (K3-K4) Preschool Program

Where learning begins...

Our Early Childhood program features strong, age-appropriate academics that focus on developing the whole child—socially, mentally, physically, and spiritually. It builds on the learning and developmental foundation begun in the home. The preschool (K3/K4) program lays a solid foundation for future educational success by encouraging a positive school experience, developing readiness skills, and cultivating a love of learning within each child.

Teachers prepare a fun, positive, and nurturing daily schedule full of activities that address the developmental needs of the child. Activities include large and small group times, individual work, one-on-one time with the teacher, student-chosen learning center activities, and outdoor playtime.

Students are introduced to basic Bible concepts and stories that teach Jesus loves everyone, and that He gave His Word, the Bible, as a guide for life. The development of Christian character, self-control, and healthy habits is emphasized as well as providing learning opportunities that promote the development of social skills and manners, academic skills and concepts, and creativity.

Elementary (Grades K5-6) Program

21st Century Skills for the Classroom... 

The Elementary program builds on the foundation laid in the Early Childhood (EC) Division. K5 is a special year of transition from the EC to the Elementary level. It is important to offer a safe and nurturing environment as they develop increasingly higher levels of individual responsibility and self-control needed to be successful in first grade and beyond.

Our teachers design exciting developmental opportunities that are enjoyable, age-appropriate, and that meet various learning styles. Students experience practical hands-on learning through manipulatives, experiments, technology, and demonstrations. Our school's curriculum, referred to as Academics Plus is based on three pillars: Core Knowledge, Critical Skills, and Christian Character.

Core Knowledge material creates learning opportunities for 21st Century Skills: critical and analytical thinking, creativity and adaptability, communication skills (written, oral, digital, arts), collaboration skills, citizenship in a digital world, and cultural competency. Bible principles are integrated to nurture the heart of each child. 

Upper School (Grades 7-12) Program

Preparing for College and Beyond...

The Upper School program is designed to be the capstone of a well-rounded, rigorous, and relevant education. The curriculum challenges students to develop according to the school-wide goals. As a university preparatory school, Hanalani promotes academic and personal excellence.

As a distinctively Christian school, our students establish a Christian worldview, Christian character, and 21st Century Skills to be elective community leaders. With diligence, determination, and self-discipline, students are given the tools to be successful as they pursue their dreams and future. Beyond the 21st Century Skills and core classes, our students have vast opportunities in co-curricular activities and STEAM-focused courses.
