Schools in Kilauea, HI

“This school has been instrumental in helping to restore our son's self esteem in regard to his ability to learn and also his desire to strive toward what he is capable of, not just what is required.Our son, who is in 7th grade was previously in public school and came home almost everyday feeling defeated and unintelligent. I tried repeatedly to connect with his teachers regarding homework and class projects...mostly to no avail! He has a touch of ADD (as do most boys, I think) and although I knew he was smart, his report cards were usually C's D's and the occasional F. I was so sad for him and frustrated!We learned about KCC through a friend and enrolled him this school year 2020-21. It was tough at first due to the challenging curriculum but the principal and teachers worked with us to get him up to speed. It took a lot of work on all of our parts but after 5 months his grades went from C's and D's to A's, B's and the occasional C.The curriculum is fantastic! My son comes home learning about anatomy and physiology that is only slightly easier than what I had in college. In bible class they learn not only religious history but also about art, architecture and ancient civilizations whose impact can still be felt today.The community service teaches them the importance of contribution to others and the strength training has helped him to learn that when it comes to seeing the fruits of your labour, instant gratification is not to be expected but patience and diligence are rewarded with results.I wish that I had know how amazing this school is long ago but now that I do, I want others to have the benefit of watching their children realize not only their scholastic potential but also their spiritual potential...in other words, the realization that we are all connected and are in fact "our brother's keeper"”
