Kaʻaikuahiwi is a multi-year initiative geared toward giving kumu the tools that they need to make Hawaiian Culture-Based Education a reality in every classroom. A group of kumu are designing professional development courses to support our kumu’s mission to nurture ʻōiwi leaders.
In honor of the more than 40 KS Maui staffers celebrating Service Awards milestones this year, a handful of kumu recall the humble beginnings of their campus as a tiny K-3 school in a few houses overlooking the Pukalani Golf Course to a world-class K-12 campus in the shadow of Haleakalā.
Haumāna from across the KS Maui campus wrote letters to Queen Liliʻuokalani in honor of her 184th birthday that will be delivered to ʻIolani Palace. Haumāna at Māhele Lalo (K-5) will hold a celebration of mele and hula in her honor, as will the haumāna at Māhele Luna (6-8).
In an ambitious push by KS Maui to boost college readiness, college and career counselors spanning kindergarten through senior year will be working with haumāna and their ʻohana in preparing them for every aspect of life after KS Maui.
We are proud to announce that Kamehameha Schools Maui Poʻo Kula, Dr. Scott K. Parker, has been named to the Board of Trustees for the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
