Our Campuses
Between our four campuses, we offer programs for students of all ages, including our early learning center in Mililani serving students from 2 years old through pre-kindergarten, elementary school for preschool to grade 6, our middle school for grades 7-8, and our high school for grades 9-12.
Our curriculum is designed to challenge and engage students at every level while encouraging them to explore their interests and talents. Whether your child is interested in music, art, athletics, or academics, we have a program to help them grow and thrive.
Our students come from various backgrounds and cultures, and we celebrate the unique gifts and perspectives each one brings. In line with our Christian mission, we strive to share the love of Jesus Christ by fostering an atmosphere that promotes humility, curiosity, kindness, and respect.
