Apply to Ho‘omāka‘ika‘i

Our Ho‘omāka‘ika‘i program is focused on connecting keiki with ‘āina and ‘ike kūpuna to set the foundation for embracing their Hawaiian identity. The Kapālama campus is the homebase for this week-long residential experience for students entering Grade 6.

Throughout the week, students engage in hands-on cultural learning activities with our staff and community partners during the day and then return to our campus dormitories with our residential life ‘ohana at night to rest and prepare for their next adventure. At the end of the week, students showcase their learning at our Friday Ho‘olaule‘a celebration with mele and hula.
