Kamehamaha Schools - Hilo Camp vs. Haili Christian School

With extraordinary foresight, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, great-granddaughter and last royal descendant of Kamehameha the Great founded Kamehameha Schools.

Kamehameha Schools' mission is to fulfill Pauahi's desire to create educational opportunities in perpetuity to improve the capability and well-being of people of Hawaiian ancestry.

Kamehameha Schools is a dynamic and nurturing learning community committed to educational excellence.

We assist people of Hawaiian ancestry to achieve their highest potential as “good and industrious men and women.” We do so by contributing to their development as people who are grounded in spiritual and Christian values; intellectually, emotionally, and socially self-reliant; resourceful, resilient, life-long learners; equipped with the skills they need to succeed in endeavors of their choosing; responsible, ethical, contributing members of their multi-cultural and diverse communities, and prepared to practice and perpetuate the Hawaiian values and traditions of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi.

Haili Christian School is a diverse community of learners with a rich tradition of excellence.

We exist to ensure that each student reaches academic success, spiritual (Christian) growth and social responsibility by providing a sound Christian learning environment customized to each student's needs and aspirations.

The primary purpose of the school is to provide a sound academic education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world.

This requires that the curriculum present life as it really is.

At Haili we believe that the only way a student can understand his place in the world is by understanding and acting upon what the Creator says about Himself and His creation.
