Kahili Adventist School vs. Island School

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.

Our nearly 500 PK-12th grade students are challenged daily to live our mission: "Educating the mind, inspiring the heart.

Preparing Kauai youth to lead lives of significance." For 47 years, we have provided Kaua'i with a program from which our students become independent thinkers and explore with curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

From the voices of our young Pre-Kindergarteners in their outdoor classrooms to the robust debates amongst our juniors and seniors, we hold the student voice at the center of all we do. Island School is an environment where students feel safe to voice their opinions, take risks in their learning, and seek new challenges.

We cultivate a dynamic learning environment where respect, compassion, and integrity are fundamental aspects of our college-preparatory program, and work hard to ensure every member of our community is celebrated, seen, and belongs.
