Our child attended this school for four elementary school years. While I will say that Hanalani excels academically, it only gets four stars because of their sometimes extreme discipline especially for little boys who already have difficulties with sitting still and being quite for long periods.
... Read more We always felt that our child was learning a lot more than others who attended public schools. Because it is religious based, our child learned to make better choices and now is a wonderful and bright middle schooler at another private school. Most of the faculty and administration were very friendly but one thing that bothered us somewhat was that many of the faculty are related which in some respects I considered a minus. We also felt that sometimes their religious beliefs interfered with ours. Read less

I am a parent of 3 Hananlani students, one has been there since PK4 and is now in the High School, another has been there since PK3 and is in 6th grade, the 3rd is in PK4. All 3 of them love going to school and can't bear the thought of ever changing to another school. The academics are challenging,

Student body size for the entire school is about 625. This is a perfect size, where teachers know their students and there is a sense of camaraderie among the students. Parents are very involved and students are very well behaved. Discpline is strict, but not overdone. The counselors work very hard at helping HS students apply for scholarships and to colleges. Overall, our family gives Hanalani an A+. Read less

My son just graduated from Hanalani (high school) and daughter graduated 3 years ago. One was there 11 years, one 8 years. Very firm discipline, but our kids thrived. Teachers are wonderful,caring. Religious based but nondenominational. Extracurricular activities are a lot fewer than some schools

After searching through the list of schools for my daughter for over a year and a half,I kept coming back to Hanalani. I am thankful that I did. This is my daughter's first year in school, PK-3, so I was quite fickle about the curriculum, teacher/student ratio and the opportunity for her to develop and

The school itself is a relatively small campus which has that family setting. Everyone knows everyone and is so willing to lend a helping hand. The curriculum is age appropriate, the field trips planned are an added bonus to their education and the after school classes offer the diversity that can benefit children in the future. I feel blessed that we are a part of the Hanalani School Ohana. Read less

The curriculum is challenging and age appropriate. My son feels successful at school and enjoys going. Teachers are eager to talk with parents regarding student progress.
