Our Vision and Mission

"Learning is a journey for all ~ Students, Teachers, Administrators,
Parents and Community Members. Each person plays a critical role."


At Pomaika'i School we are committed to helping all of our children learn so that they will:

  • Exhibit creative and critical thinking.
  • Read with comprehension, write clearly, and compute accurately.
  • Utilize technology as a learning tool ethically and competently.
  • Practice stewardship in relation to the land and each other.
  • Develop self-esteem, pride, and respect for themselves and others.
  • Understand the value of education and the need for lifelong learning.

To that end we believe that:

  • The child is the generative heart of the school.
  • We are all here to learn.
  • The arts support the whole child by engaging a variety of intelligences, learning styles, experiences and backgrounds.
  • Learners have opportunities to acquire knowledge and express understanding in and through the Arts.
  • All members of the school community strive to achieve a balance between intellectual and social, emotional, and physical well-being.
  • The school supports the cultivation and appreciation of each child’s unique identity.
