ADMISSIONS

Kamalani Academy is PUBLIC charter school. Meaning regular DOE schools are administered by the State Department of Education. A Charter school is authorized by the Hawaii State Public Charter School Commission and reports to the Commission. Charter schools are public schools governed by a local Governing Board of volunteer members of the community and a contract between the school and the Commission. Charter schools must meet all the same academic requirements and many of the same regulations as DOE schools. Charter schools are generally given more leeway to innovate than DOE schools. 

Kamalani is a small school (125 students) conceived, started, and governed by a group of passionate educators, businesspeople, and others from our community. We offer an innovative arts integration, Hawaiian-focused curriculum based on highly successful models here and on the mainland. Kamalani is already deeply involved in the Wahiawa/Central Oahu community and the community is invited to be a part of Kamalani.
