The students here all have big goals and dreams for themselves - I RESPECT THAT. I also respect the teachers and staff here who work so hard for the school. Special shoutout to the JROTC program here. 100+ years of molding kids who will one day be awesome leaders. Another really cool notable thing offered at Waianae HS is a clinic on-campus run by the Waianae Comprehensive Health Services (something along those lines, haha) and it operates like an urgent care for students and families in the area. They can prescribe medicationa, be seen by a nurse practitioner, etc. It isnt a replacement for the schools health office of nurse but its rather an addition in case of serious medical emergencies. Super cool!

Mrs. Tiare, Mrs. Ru and Mrs Rowena is a great example of what it means to be women of God walking in faith. I was so blessed to hear conversations between my children and the teachers how the teachers used my child's mistakes and turned it into a positive learning moment that encouraged love through an experience that when they left the school for the day they were happy, safe and filled with love from the teachers never felt like they were bad. The teachers always taught love through teaching and encouraging the child to be their true self. The academic's that the school teaches is awesome the recognition and routine that my children attended comes home and shares the many things that they have learned makes me feel confident in the school that my children attended. The knowledge they have gained just blesses me as a parent and how they continue to teach in so many ways to grab the attention of each and every child that is in their classroom. The spiritual part of this is school is amazing how it is the core of each teacher and child that attends and as staff show the meaning of God's love through how they speak, dress and how they make each parent feel valued and important. St. Michael's school thank you for making a lasting impact on my family and how this school will always have a special place in my heart! May God bless you all and thank you for everything you have done to make my children feel loved even though my children are a handful you never made me think they were less than but always made me as a parent how truly wonderful my children are to you!

I…read moremust say this program was at the bottom of the list because I was not of any Hawaiian ancestry, and it is a culture-based program. Every Wednesday we went to the loi' (taro patch) to either pull taro or clean the grounds @ the taro patch. Fridays we paddled canoe @ Pokai Bay. During the other times of the week, we attended addiction classes and we had a lot of homework, all the work was about self, and we also learned the Hawaiian language and hula. Needless to say, I completed residential in seventy (70) days. In spite of me not being Polynesian this program worked, I was busy every day, doing classes & we were taken to outside meetings as well. Furthermore, it was the ONLY program I have completed in my life, and I've been to almost every program on this island besides Hina Mauka and Sand Island. Learning about the culture came like 2nd nature because I was already bi-lingual. It was also far enough for me to focus on just my Recovery, far enough from Honolulu, and far enough from temptation. By the Grace of God, I just celebrated 16 years today!!! So if ANYONE has anything negative to say about this program, they must've not been a client. ANY program is a good program, the problem is most newcomers want to go into short-term programs because it's quicker. All I got to say is, for the one seeking treatment, don't cheat yourself, because you ARE worth it. Thank you God & "Ho O Mau Ke Ola" for my Recovery of 16 years, and it hasn't been easy, nor was it given to me, I had to work for it, working on myself is an everyday job. Mahalo Ke Akua....

Thanks to Jacob, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. He was responsive, patient, and an excellent communicator, guiding us step-by-step through exactly what needed to be done. Our daughter attended six consecutive Sunday classroom sessions and, despite some initial apprehension, ended up really enjoying herself. Jacob made the classes fun and engaging with group assignments, skits, videos, and friendly competitions. He even bought boba for the winners--which alone would have won our daughter over! As an added bonus, she got to know students from other schools. The one-on-one behind-the-wheel sessions were just as wonderful. Jacob's car has a passenger-side brake, which eased a lot of our fear and helped our daughter progress much faster. Over the course of the required 50 hours of parent-child driving practice, we noticed a clear boost in her confidence after every session with Jacob. It was also incredibly helpful that he took her on the actual test route the day before her exam, which made her feel fully prepared. Our daughter "passed first crack," and we couldn't be happier! To top it off, Jacob highlights his students' accomplishments on Instagram, which is fun and motivating. We were so fortunate to have found him--Jacob is truly the best!

He proceeded to ask where i learned from and i said my friend and he told me that they didnt know what they were doing even though they have been driving for 6 years. and i had my road test and on the way he FELL ASLEEP but i wasnt gonna let that stop me. when we got there he wanted to get some practice in so we drove the kapolei route and when driving pass a cross walk i slowed down which he asked me why i did so, i couldnt give an answer at the time i just thought its was right and he said there was no reason to and low and behold that was something i got marked down for because i was supposed to slow down incase pedestrians wanted to walk. do not recommend if you guys get leonard im not sure about any other intructor apart of this company i have not been introduced to anyone new.

And when we called him he said he had a "bad day". Then don't go making appointments to help others. My poor 17 year old niece was not at all comfortable during her experience.
