Community schools

Full-Service Community Schools in Hawaiʻi

In Hawaiʻi, community schools are innovative, thriving hubs of learning in which partnerships and collaboration create aʻo mai, aʻo aku, reciprocal relationships between learners and place, content and context, and schools and communities. ​
  • Community schools intentionally connect schools, ʻāina, indigenous and contemporary knowledge and ensure that learners belong to a thriving community. 
  • Systems of support form the foundation for community schools that are rooted in organizing resources towards the success of learners, families, and communities. 
  • Hawaiʻi-based community schools reflect who we are, how we live, and what we aspire to become. 

Impact Goals

The intended outcomes of Community Schools in Hawaiʻi are: 
  • Thriving learners, educators, families, ʻāina, and communities are supported by nurturing networks that promote reciprocity. 
  • Innovative, thriving hubs of learning that incubate and connect Indigenous wisdom and contemporary knowledge to create and meet local and global opportunities.
