Overview
Olelo Christian Academy is a private academic institution, located in the center of Lihue on the Garden Island of Kauai.
We have a tradition of academic excellence through a Biblical worldview.
Our students are tomorrow`s future leaders. With an emphasis on a character development and spiritual growth, Olelo Christian Academy is known for its outstanding student body and loving staff.
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.
