The K-8 Kula Kauwela (Summer School Program) offers a diverse curriculum giving learners an opportunity to demonstrate 21st century skills while engaging Hawaiian culture-based/place-based/project-based learning, while the high school summer schools offer credit courses. For class times and details, please review the 2013 Hawai'i Summer School course catalog or visit our web site at http://hawaii.ksbe.edu/summer.

Kamehameha Schools' admissions policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law. If you would like to be considered under that policy, your Hawaiian ancestry must be verified by Kamehameha's Ho'oulu Hawaiian Data Center. Please work directly with the Data Center staff to complete your ancestry determination as soon as you can and preferably no later than the application deadline for the program to which you are applying. For more information, please call the Data Center at (808) 523-6228; toll free at 1-800-842-4682, or by checking www.ksbe.edu/datacenter.
