Kahili Adventist School is dedicated to leading students to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ teaching them that a rewarding life is based upon unselfish service to others and achievement of their highest potential.
Kahili Adventist School recognizes God as the ultimate source of existence and truth.
We believe that every human being is made in God's image and endowed with attributes akin to those of the Creator.
Therefore, we seek to nurture thinkers rather than mere reflectors of other's thoughts; loving service rather than selfish ambition; maximum development of one's potential; and an appreciation of all that is beautiful, true, and good.
Education is far more than academic knowledge; it is a balanced development of the whole person.
