Aikahi Elementary School

We are new to the area. After reading reviews I was so scared. Please judge for yourself. Me and my two children were embraced with an aloha spirit. We come from the mainland and my children are behind. Not saying that will be the case for you and yours. Just providing an unbiased honest review. So far I wish I had enrolled my children sooner! I hope you can rest easy too once you DO enroll your children. Much love from one stressed ma to another. So the school is BEYOND expectations, and and excellent learning environment! Everyone is committed and it shows! The children are all so kind and respectful!

Wow! What an incredible school. My son is in Kindergarten here and every single person we've encountered - from teachers, to counselors, to the nurse the principal, the front office, and education aides - has been truly committed to supporting the children. The older children smile and wave when they walk past the grown ups. It is a magical place, both in terms of the physical space and the overall vibe. They really are living their values and the kids here are fortunate to learn and grow in an environment that appreciates SEL as much as academic progress (and understands they are two sides of the same coin). We couldn't be happier or more grateful about our decision to send our son here.

Mokapu Elementary School has wonderful teachers who genuinely care for their students’ education and well-being.

We started our three year old at the Early Learning Center (ELC) this school year (Aug 2022-May 2023), and half way through the year we have been nothing but impressed at the small class sizes, individual attention from the teachers and staff, fun community building events, and sense of both belonging and self sufficiency our child has developed. We adore the local, private feel of this school, and the caring nature of all the teachers and parents who pitch in to help the kids succeed. While it's too early to assess academic rigor, our child has been receiving a classical, well-rounded education including letters & numbers, age appropriate math, collaborative songs and games, physical education, Catholic religion (but not overdone, ~1x per week), art, and a foreign language (Spanish). Additional extra curriculars--soccer, hula, and even golf!--are offered separately at reasonable costs after school. The value for St. Anthony's tution is fantastic. The location is convenient, adjacent to downtown Kailua in a beautiful neighborhood setting, across from Kailua Beach with the Ko'olau mountains visible in the distance. Among the schools we looked at in Kailua, St. Anthony's was our top choice and has been wonderful for our pre-schooler.

My son absolutely loves his school. I am a single mom and my mother was able to pay for his tuition last year. He always speaks about how awesome his teachers are and how he loves attending WNA. This year I told him it would be too expensive for me to try and pay for him to go and his grandma was having financial hardships. He begged me to send him again. He talked to all of his older brothers and sisters and his uncle. And they are all chipping in monthly just so he can attend the school again this year. I have 5 kids and I have never had 1 of my kids beg to attend a school again. He has awesome brothers and sisters and an uncle that love him and will all come together to make his dream come true. He has had so much more of a love for learning since attending here.

Beautiful campuses and learning environment. Their teachers and staff are the best and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Trinity Christian School for a classical Christian education.
