About Our School

Learning is a journey. Each person plays a critical role."

Pomaika'i opened its doors in 2007 with the vision of whole child arts integrated learning for all children. Based on years of research we believed that actively engaging children through the arts required higher level thinking skills, creative problem solving, collaboration, to challenge learners at all levels.

We dreamed of an education where students learned with their whole bodies, activating all parts of their brain, and embracing their hearts as they connect with each other and the curriculum.

We were determined to connect academics through 21st century skills through arts integration and technology. Our innovative journey continues to inspire all the learners in our school today.
