Our ideal graduate will be a LIFELONG LEARNER, with a joy and curiosity about learning and an understanding that learning doesn’t stop when school is over because of exposure from adults in our ‘ohana who demonstrate the importance of continued learning. Our student will be a RISK TAKER, with enough self-confidence to try new experiences and persist in solving problems in innovative and creative ways, without fear of failure.
