Pearl Harbor Kai Elementary School

I attended this school in the early 2000s and it was amazing. They not only had a caring staff the students made it amazing too. Since the school is surrounded by a naval base it is attended by a lot of students who parents are in the armed forces so it students have a backbone and that is important. I learned a lot from this school and had fun while doing it. They teach hawaiian history, how to play instruments and hula dancing. Great atmosphere, teachers, staff all around great school.

May I just say, that to anyone looking to move to Oahu and has heard the ‘horror stories’ of the public school’ system here, please don’t listen. Our daughter attends Pearl Harbor Kai Elementary (2^nd grade) after being transitioned from a private on-​island school. I dare to say that her academic growth has excelled at this public institution far greater than it ever did when we were paying over $ 1,500/month for private school. The staff is friendly, kind and treats each child like Ohana. Even if we had the choice to go back to private schooling for free, I would still not make that change. I love the uniform dress code, I love the core values they endorse in the students as well as the community involvement. I’m so glad that our housing was zoned so that we landed at this school, I look forward to her continued education and growth.
