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 sing and teach the kids so much in such a short time frame. It is such a blessing for my child to take part in this well organized and educational program for free.

We hope this program continues for years so that many other children may experience the educational support and love from Tutu and Me.

In response to the angry individual claiming that he had to pay for the ACADEMY...uh...did you not…read moreread the packet you got when you applied? Private schools mean you PAY for lil' junior's education. So...if you are unhappy, by all means there are public schools who, since I teach at them I can say with complete certainty, will take EVERY kind of student. If you desire a specified educational experience- which, since I am currently enjoying the second of my three children at Carden for middle school, I can also say with first-hand experience - then you pay for it. Fish or cut bait. This school is loving, caring, kind, nurturing, and everything you pay for. Sorry some people want something for nothing. Public schools have been fine for my kids; Carden is a gift.

It has always been a dream of mine to practice real estate in the state of Hawaii. So, in 2019 I…read moredecided to look into licensing requirements and took steps to take the state exam. I had already received an equivalency for my time practicing in another state. But I still had to take a Hawaii focused exam which was shorter and required a higher pass rate. The entire process took me two years, mix in a pandemic and life - I passed the test two days before my equivalency exemption expired. Fortunately, I used Rick's method and took the 200 question exam as a way to prepare. The book is written with the exam in mind, so if you take the exam and cross reference the 'principles' booklet for the ones you got wrong in the practice exam you can create a pretty effective study guide. I recommend his study materials and wish you the best of luck in your studying. Mahalo!
