Elementary Program (Grades K5-6)

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 + 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.


  • Biblical View of Life

    Each day, the students learn about God and His creation. Daily lessons integrate Biblical principles. Students have chapel time once a week, focusing on Christian character development.

  • Challenging Environment

    Teachers engage students in a variety of challenging academic activities to develop well-rounded, life-long learners with critical skills to succeed in college and career. 

  • Dedicated Teachers

    Teachers provide an environment in which students feel safe and can grow emotionally, socially, physically, and academically.

  • Diverse Student Population

    Hanalani Schools has provided quality education for students not only from across the United States, but also from Australia, China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Ukraine, Vietnam, and West Africa.
