Overview
Kahili Adventist School is dedicated to leading students to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ teaching them that a rewarding life is based upon unselfish service to others and achievement of their highest potential.
Kahili Adventist School recognizes God as the ultimate source of existence and truth.
We believe that every human being is made in God's image and endowed with attributes akin to those of the Creator.
Therefore, we seek to nurture thinkers rather than mere reflectors of other's thoughts; loving service rather than selfish ambition; maximum development of one's potential; and an appreciation of all that is beautiful, true, and good.
Education is far more than academic knowledge; it is a balanced development of the whole person.
Island School combines academic excellence with character building and experiences in the arts, athletics and academics.
The curriculum is based on ideas of Howard Gardner, reflecting the development of "multiple intelligences."
The campus has 38 acres and is safe and secluded.
Diversity is valued, and a generous financial aid program ensures a broadly representative student population.
Island School prepares students for college. skilled in the basic tools of the modern world;
knowledgeable about a wide range of topics, current as well as of the past;
sensitive to outside, local, and world influences and communities; aware of and committed to their civic responsibilities;
filled with curiosity and an eagerness to find their particular niche, fulfillment, and joy in life.
