School Notes
- The mission statement of Waolani Judd Nazarene School (WJNS) is "where faith and learning reflect the character of Christ." The statement is not only the driving force of the school program, but also the glue that ties all aspects of the school together. Our philosophy is rooted in the Word of God with the belief that a child's academic, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs are best met though Christian training and sound educational principles. WJNS supports the belief that education is a cooperative venture among students, parents, and teachers; the more closely we work together, the more effective our efforts will be.
