- Hawai Montessori School was started by a group of parents who were searching for an educational program that would meet their goals of child-centered teaching and learning.
- High academic standards were also a priority. Over the years we have grown from that first small Primary class (3-6 year old) and now our school has a Toddler Program, two Primary classes, and an Upper and Lower Elementary class.
- Current enrollment is 85. Hawai Montessori School is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as an independent 501(3)c not-for-profit organization.
- As an independent school, we create our own programs and operate without the financial support of state or federal funds.
- We are also not subsidized by any religious organizations. HMS is run by a Board of Directors and is independent from any local school boards.
- We rely on financial support from tuition income, grants, fundraising, and our Annual Fund.
