I want to share my disappointment with my experience at the Natural Healing Institute Hawaii. I…read morepaid approximately $1,500 for a herbology certification program and was very surprised by the quality of the course materials I received. The program included three books that looked as though they had been typed on a typewriter decades ago. The materials appeared outdated, were difficult to engage with, and contained no images or visual aids which are necessary for studying different herbs. For a subject focused on learning about herbs and plant identification, I expected high-quality photos and modern educational resources. As a teacher, I understand the importance of presenting information in an engaging and effective way. In my opinion, the curriculum was dry and uninspiring, making it difficult to stay motivated. Without sufficient pictures, diagrams, or modern learning tools, I felt the program did not support student learning as well as it could have. After reviewing the materials, I immediately requested a refund because I did not feel the program met my expectations. Unfortunately, my refund request was denied. I later attempted to use AI tools to help answer some of the test questions rather than spend time reading material that I found unengaging. Many of the AI-generated answers were marked incorrect, which led me to question whether the course content was outdated, whether the examinations were based on very specific terminology, or whether there was a disconnect between the program's materials and more current information. While others may have a different experience, I personally did not feel that the quality of the educational materials justified the $1,500 cost. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective students to carefully review the curriculum, course materials, and refund policy before enrolling. Unfortunately, this program did not meet my expectations, and I would not recommend it based on the value I received for the price paid.

It's that the teachers meet each student where they are at and help them become their best- no matter what level! After being here for 4 years it's amazing to see all the students jump exponentially in their skill level and their clear passion for being on stage! 2 of my daughters have taken classes here - from ballet and acting to singing and acro. Always the best teachers and welcoming staff. It is clear that Kayla has essentially created the perfect studio! It makes us all so happy to see her business grow because her love of teaching and providing an environment like this truly stems from a passion for what she does!

My daughter is in her second year at Native School and we cannot say enough good things about it!…read moreUnfortunately there has been some bad publicity because a former employee (trying to steal students away to a competing school she was opening) fed parents misinformation that scared them, including launching a really personal attack against the amazing director, Shannon, who is an incredibly transparent and thoughtful preschool director. She hosts regular meetings for parents to talk to her and will also always be happy to hop on a meeting any afternoon to discuss any questions and concerns. The program itself stood out to me immediately for being a really good supportive model for development. The students are not playing "Lord of the Flies" out in the woods, they are guided and supported by amazing teachers who spend their afternoons writing documentation of the learning in their classrooms and designing emergent curriculum. We could not be happier with the school we chose and our daughter loves school passionately. We have even decided to keep her in Native School another year instead of moving to the free public TK because of how much we love the program and the teachers.

***Warning to parents*** My experience with the teachers…read morewas generally good but you could tell there was a disconnect between them and upper management due to the high turnover rate and disruption in teacher continuity. The frequent and disruptive staff changes significantly effected my 4 year old son who was upset to see teachers come and go. At the end of our semester for 2024-2025 it became worse and substitutes/new faces were very common. We were told by some teachers that quit that safety regs/guidelines were not being followed(especially on rainy/stormy days). All that being said, we decided to pull our child out from the Fall 2025 semester. We had already paid for it but we figured we would be returned our reservation money due to the circumstances. Management refused our first attempt to reimburse us even after my child's spot was filled(Bad business etiquette). So here we are with our reviews and our next steps will be small claims. In the contract it states that they will maintain a consistent and properly staffed program...That was not our experience.
