Looked at every option and am close friends with many of the teachers in different schools and they all agree, it's a place like no other, like almost back in time but not. You just don't deal with what you deal with anywhere else and it's hard to explain unless you experience it. I've seen many people try Maui for a short time with young children as a year experiment and literally stay here because of this place...which is much bigger decision that deciding on a neighborhood somewhere. Lunches... Yes... They are catered by a restaurant people love to eat at and how they make it so affordable for the parents, including tuition is beyond me. But be prepared to join in the fun and become part of something that you just have to see for yourself to get. It's not your typical private school... When my kiddo needed tutoring, they rallied around him with a dedication that you would rarely see from one's own family, let alone a school. Now he's ahead of the curve and loves school. Days off are fantastic and little kiddo graduations are like nothing you've ever seen in terms of just fun and support in the aloha spirit. This is the one place on school earth that you can actually tell your kids if they were absent a day, that they didn't miss school...school actually missed them.

I would actually give this school a negative star if I could. The staff is extremely RUDE, both…read moreadministrative as well as teaching. A private school education with NO real professionalism. My child attended their ELC program (When Mrs. Nicole Okada was there teaching the 3yr old group, and she is the ONLY reason why that ELC program succeeded, she is the absolute GEM of all teachers, truly a beautiful soul and we were so blessed to have her for the year that we did. Otherwise the staff (besides Jan Pasamonte- who was another piece of Heaven at that school) is unkind, sassy, brash and down right mean. They do not respond to you in a timely manner, if at all. When you call to inquire about their school, they completely cut you off the phone. (and we called SEVERAL times to give them the benefit of the doubt!) Lahaina has very few options for outstanding pre-K schools and Sacred Hearts is just another example of staff collecting paychecks rather than doing their jobs of educating the future. (DO NOT SEND your child to their preschool program-HORRIBLE, I watched several of their teachers yell and scold these young children- it is NOT a happy place!) **My husband and I actually got into contact with Holy Innocents Preschool, and will take a tour of their school soon, but one thing to note: Their personnel on the phone was actually pleasant to speak with and gave us useful and detailed information- FINALLY

They put on a show as part of their camp and we were lucky to get an invite to see Mulan. Wow, what a treat! The staff must be applauded for their innovative ways of making an avalanche and fire come to life, and the great show they produced with limited resources, time and a host of excited young children to contend with. One thing that really glowed during the production was just how much fun the children were having during the show, along with their audience, and the teachers running it. Fantastic summer camp, keep the shows coming ladies, it was amazing, we enjoyed every minute!

It has ruined a lot of my friendships and caused a lot of drama and tension with people who used to be my close friends. This school is not somewhere I feel safe anymore.

(many students can vouge for this statement) Very disappointing for someone to hold such a title as a Vice Principal. You are supposed to be uplifting students, and kind to others . Not setting students up for failure or discouraging them. Do better King K! and as for you Miss Alison, i hope you use this as a wake up call and change your very poor behavior, or honestly just leave this job. You should have never been a Vice Principal never the less be anywhere near a school with how you treat others.

This musical knocked it out of the park! Excellent casting, musical score, props and wardrobe, lighting, it all just ran smoothly and created a magical night. Well done to everyone who worked on it. I love The Adams Family and hadn't realized there was a musical version, and it had quite a few laugh lines scattered throughout to keep you amused too. I was surprised there wasn't a bigger audience....I go to school plays on island when I can and am always amazed at how polished and professional they are, and a great night out for a cheap ticket!

The teachers are supportive and qualified, the students are pleasant, the curriculum is constantly improving, and the administration is known for its lack of stifling bureaucracy. AND its cheap as far as private school tuition goes.. I spent my last year at Parker, but I wish I could have started earlier!
