The campus is beautiful, the faculty and staff are warm and happy to be there, and the students are overwhelmingly kind. Students study a language from K-12 as part of the curriculum and are immersed in hands-on, experiential learning for throughout the day. Le Jardin is an International Baccalaureate World School that offers not only the IB Diploma Program but also the IB Primary Years Programme and the IB Middle Years Programme for its primary and middle schools. We moved our children here from Mid-Pacific Institute (one of the WORST private schools on the island) and the difference is night and day (they even have 18 more in-school days in a school year!)

The views are incredible. The staff are great. Helpful and interested in the children's best interest ( as it should be ) and are always available to engage with the parents on their children's education. Although expensive, it's well below Punahou, 'Iolani, and Mid Pac. They do offer financial aid options, yet make sure you apply early because it can take some time to get through the process. Le Jardin does offer athletics as well as a quality education. As a matter of fact, the girl's just won the ILH water polo championship, and the boy's won last year. Le Jardin competes in Water Polo, paddling, swimming, volleyball, basketball, tennis, kayaking and golf. They also compete in the PAC-5 in football, softball, wrestling, baseball and cross country. The gym is fantastic, a tad bit cramped, but very nice indeed. I'm proud to say that my girls will be attending Le Jardin the fall of 2013

The curriculum flows organically from class to class--if a subject from Language Arts connects to Science, the faculty embrace it and go with it! Everyone is so open, receptive and creative and kind! Class sizes are small, so your child is given great individualized instruction, but they aren't so small where the social interaction is limited. The creativity in adventures and regular school outings across Oahu are incredible. In many ways, the island is the classroom! We just love this place and are so grateful for its faculty. staff, and visionary and compassionate leadership. Joel Staggers is a remarkable leader.

It's very rare to find school, church, family and community teaching, living, and working together as the Bible instructs.

Best Classical Christian education private school in our book! We rate them more than five stars and they are perfectly located in Kailua, a wonderful, safe, family-friendly town. Didn't even know a school like this still exists.

With very few principals over the years KES has been under some great leadership and care. It has shown with the amazing students that come through as well as the teachers who are so passionate about their students, school, and teaching. The students have the best of what is available to them and the administration makes sure they are plugged in where ever necessary. KES is a big campus but small group with about 250-300 students in all and a total 'ohana environment. They really care for the children like their own and know how to make visiting families feel like they've been there forever. The teachers set goals for themselves and for the students with the principal and make sure they are on track with meeting them throughout the year. Their focus is definitely on developing the whole child. From academics to social (with friends or in clubs) and beyond the children are able to get a well rounded education, positive influences, and make lifelong memories! Once a Honu always a Honu.

Orchid Show in Kāne'ohe, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. The Windward Orchid Society hasn't had its annual Orchid Show for the past four years. Maybe that's why my friend wanted to go this year!?!? We heard about this Orchid Show from one of the gals (Sherrie) in our mahjong group. Sherrie works at King Intermediate School and told us that the fragrance of the honohono orchids was so wonderful! We made plans to attend on Saturday, 3-18-23, which was the second day of the three-day event. Located on the makai (ocean) side of Kamehameha Highway, King Intermediate School has a view of Kaneohe Bay! The campus is very spacious with many outdoor basketball courts! The buildings have wonderful murals with Hawaiian themes! The gigantic trees, huge lawns, and decorative foliage really make the campus unique! We parked for free near the entrance and followed signs to the cafeteria. It wasn't air conditioned, so, I stood under the ceiling fans to keep cool. Maybe the orchids like the warm, humid environment? They are so beautiful! If you come to King Intermediate School for the Orchid Show, bring some money in case you want to be a member of the Windward Orchid Society. They also had various plants for sale (anthuriums, snake plants, bromeliads, air plants, etc.) and a Country Store with shirts, vases, books, and more! Come take a look!

The best part of it is that our kids come home raving about Jesus!!! I guess it's not for everyone, but that's why it's a private school and not everyone will be a good fit. Academics are awesome. Our kindergartners are now writing in cursive and reading at the 2nd/3rd grade level . Our 2nd grader has been reading chapter books since 1st grade and already multiplying. Granted we as parents have put in some time helping them with their homework, but that's part of being parents. To set them up for success. If you want a school that will teach your child to love Jesus and others as well as get ahead in academics, this is where you want your child to be. They do push Christian values and we love how our kids are saying our meal prayers since they were 3 yrs. old. Their love for God, Jesus and others is awesome... If you don't want your child to have a really strong Christian base, then maybe this school isn't for your child. Cost is extremely reasonable compared to other private schools. Plus where else can you drop off at 7am and pick up at 5:45 pm with lunch and snacks included in tuition? The staff is very caring especially in preschool... There are two teachers per classroom up to third grade (which) is when kids start to migrate to other private schools... We haven't had a teacher that we didn't get along with. Couldn't have asked for a better place for my keiki...
