We are Pāʻia School. A little school on the North Shore of Maui where two programs become one. We are a highly unique school where we house a regular English Education Program, but also the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program. I am a fortunate teacher to a great bunch of Fourth Grade students who are a part this growing Hawaiian Immersion Program. In this program, we teach not only students all subjects in the language of their ancestors, but the values that Hawaiians live by. Some of these values include, aloha (love), hōʻihi (respect), kuelana (responsibility), and laulima (team work). It is important that we all live by these values in order for Hawaiian tradition and language to thrive in the ever-changing world we live in today, and we have done just that through this program. We have many, many fluent speakers and long living Hawaiian traditions because of the teachers and students who come through this program here at Pāʻia School and throughout the State of Hawaiʻi.
