School Notes
School Wide Goals
KCA wishes to achieve the following goals in the life of each
student who attends. These goals support our mission statement, and
our success as a school will be determined by how well these goals
are realized in the life of each student. KCA seeks to minister to
the needs of the whole child and to encourage his spiritual and
moral growth, academic and intellectual progress, and social and
physical development.
Spiritual Goals
To give Jesus Christ the preeminence in all school matters
(Colossians 1:17-18).To see each student who attends KCA accept
Jesus Christ as personal Savior (2 Peter 3:9; Romans 10:14-15, 17).
Evangelization will be carried out by teachers when the subject of
the Gospel (the Good News of salvation from sins through the
sacrificial death of Jesus) comes up in class, or on a one-to-one
basis when appropriate.To be an extension of the Christian home and
church, and thus provide continuity of training for Christian young
people (Deuteronomy 6:5-9; Ephesians 6:4).To develop within each
student a spiritual knowledge base founded on God`s Word, the
Bible, for making wise decisions about life, and to teach accurate
Bible doctrine (2 Timothy 3:14-17). See KCA`s Statement of Faith.To
help students develop a love for God that extends to the entirety
of their hearts, souls, and minds (Deuteronomy 6:5).To teach
students the responsibility that every person has to God as Creator
and Redeemer (2 Corinthians 5:10).To help students develop a strong
sense of "right and wrong," to make each student aware of the
spiritual blessing that comes from doing right, and to warn each
student of the many wrongs that now characterize our culture and
the negative consequences to be borne by those who choose those
wrongs (Exodus 20:1-17; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23).To develop a
Christian worldview in the minds of all students. With this
worldview in place, students should be able to discern between
truth and error. Not only is it our goal to present truth but also
to instruct our students how to apply the truth correctly in their
own lives (Psalm 19:14; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6).To help students
continue their walk with the Lord outside of school and for life
through regular Bible reading and prayer (Proverbs 22:6; 1
Thessalonians 5:17).To encourage students to take an active part in
the ministry of the local church, including the evangelization of
the lost (Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 1:8).
Academic Goals
To provide both curricular and instructional systems that will
enable any student to achieve at levels that will prepare him to
enter the next level of education chosen, whatever the academic
rigor demanded.To instill in each student a strong sense of
personal responsibility in the academic realm. This includes a
willingness to accept correction, but also the confidence and
self-worth to work hard and to pursue the highest possible levels
of achievement (Proverbs 12:1; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 12:1).To
enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong
learners (Proverbs 4:13). To teach students to enjoy reading and to
utilize oral and written English to communicate effectively.To help
students understand fundamental math concepts and processes, as
well as practical applications.To give students a broad
understanding of history, geography, and the other social studies
(Deuteronomy 6:12; Deuteronomy 8:2; Joshua 4).To teach students
scientific knowledge about the physical universe God has created
(Genesis 1-2; Psalm 19:1-4).To teach students the value of diligent
study of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:14-17).To help students develop an
appreciation of music and the arts (Psalm 150).To teach students
basic usages of computer technology.To give students basic exposure
to at least one foreign language (Acts 2:4, 6-8).To teach students
about the human body and to teach them to maintain the good health
of their bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 Timothy 4:8).
Social Goals
To teach each student to love his neighbor as himself
(Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 19:19).To cultivate an environment of
positive peer influence (Psalm 1:1; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; 2
Corinthians 6:14-15).To teach students to exhibit a strong work
ethic (Proverbs 21:25; 24:30-34; Colossians 3:23; 1 Thessalonians
2:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:10).To develop in students decision-making,
planning, and management skills needed for sound judgments and
personal problem-solving (Proverbs 16:3; Matthew 25:14-30).To help
students understand and accept their responsibilities as citizens
of the United States of America, to encourage patriotism, and to
encourage them to participate in responsible government (Romans
13:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:1-4).To emphasize Christian colleges and
Christian careers to the students (1 Timothy 3:1).To encourage
students to make choices beyond high school that will lead to the
further development of their gifts, abilities, knowledge, and
interests to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).To instill in
each student a strong sense of personal responsibility for their
behavior, including a willingness to admit fault and accept
correction when necessary (Proverbs 12:1; Hebrews 12:11).To teach
students to respond to others and to deal with conflict in a
biblical manner (Proverbs 16:28; 21:23; Matthew 18:15-17; Ephesians
4:29).
Physical Goals
To teach students to develop habits of neatness, modesty of
dress, and good hygiene (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 Timothy 2:9-10; 1
Peter 3:3-4).To encourage students to engage in outdoor play and
athletic activities for the betterment of their physical health, to
inspire their imaginations, and for the purpose of furthering their
social development (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 1 Timothy 4:8).To teach
students the value and nobility of whatever physical work is
necessary to be clean, respectful, and industrious members of their
community (Proverbs 21:25; 24:30-34; 1 Thessalonians 2:9).

I cannot say enough about the positive impact that attending Kauai Christian Academy had on our sons (ages 10 and 14). From the very first day, there was a warm welcoming family atmosphere to the school. The curriculum provided for a complete academic, spiritual, and physical development for them. The faculty and staff are top-notch and truly care about the individual growth of each student. Leaving KCA was one of the most difficult parts of our move off-island for work-related reasons.

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"

I have been going to Kauai Christian Academy for four years and will be transitioning into my Junior year after summer. Ever since my first day of attendance, the classmates have been friendly; the teachers have been welcoming, and I have felt at home. Throughout my time here I have began to learn things that will not only help me in my further academic career but also in everyday life. This school incorporates Jesus Christ into almost all of the lessons, and I have gained a greater understanding and appreciation for God-to say the least. KCA offers personal one-on-one help that larger populated schools cannot provide. I truly feel that the teachers and principal care about us and our wellbeing. They go out of their ways to give us opportunity's and prepare us for what's to come. I am thankful for my time here and, even after I leave, will treasure it always:)

I grew up on Kauai and attended public school. I had an overall good experience (though a lots changed in 20 years), nothing that ever made me not want to go back to school. Always expected by kids to take the same road. But I know others who had horrible experiences and/or choose to make poor decisions. Public school can be a gamble on shopping your Childs character. We started our daughter in Pre-school at KCA and have kept her into 2nd grade. It's been an amazing experience. The student body from Kindergarten into high school is so well behaved. KCA has created a solid God centered culture supported by great staff and teachers. We have only experienced the teachers up into 2nd grade but the staff just seems to get better and better. Our son is now in pre-school and we look forward to the coming years and the small classroom sizes.

Endorse Kauai Christian Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
School shootings and other emergency situations won't happen in your school, right? Who knows! Better to put in place the steps necessary to protect the school community than to be caught unprepared.
