Our Philosophy:

The core of the Ho`ala philosophy is found in its "implicit curriculum," emphasizing that adults teach children how to behave by the example of their own actions and attitudes, both in the classroom and at home.

Ho`ala's "crowning achievement" is its school environment. Teachers create an extraordinarily safe, dynamic learning atmosphere in which students feel they are needed, listened to, and taken seriously. Such an environment empowers students to begin taking true responsibility for their lives.

Encouraging Our Children:

In the context of our college prep curriculum, students are encouraged to:
* develop their body-mind through awareness and movement
* deepen their awareness of themselves, others, and their world
* think logically, creatively, and critically and to reflect on how they think
* achieve meaning and purpose in their lives through empathetic understanding
* accept responsibility for their own actions
* resolve conflicts peacefully
* listen to others with understanding
* express oneself effectively
* contribute to others' well being
* live with vision and integrity
