Halau Ku Mana- A Native Hawaiian Charter School
Located at the Center for Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawaii-Manoa campus, the newly established Hawai’i State Public Charter School, Halau Ku Mana, provides children of Hawai’i with an alternative to the traditional public school education. Based on traditional Hawaiian values, Halau Ku Mana encourages individual and community healing and empowerment by fostering lifelong learners who think, feel and act in ways that address the challenges of their local, regional and global communities. By incorporating traditional values and sensitivity toward Hawaiian culture, the school, in one academic year, has increased student reading skills by multiple grad levels and achieved exceptionally high attendance rates from students who had previously very low attendance rates in standard public schools. In their first year, they have even been awarded the State’s highest honor for the Arts.
Students from Halau Ku Mana were chosen to share their talents and heritage in New York for an international audience. During their visit to New York, nine (9) children (between the ages 15 and 17) and four (4) teachers will be participating in cultural educational exchange workshops and performances in New York City and Lake Placid.
