Kaimuki Christian School

My child attended this school from K-4 and it was a very good experience. He has wonderful memories of the good friends, chapel, and Mrs. Nagata. The school has given him a good foundation in academics and also in the golden rule. Since he has attended public for two years and it has shown us how good KCS really is. His HSA scores are comparable with his KCS achievement scores (the school tests the children yearly which gives you a good view of how well they are doing on a national basis.) If you are looking for a small school with good academics and a loving Christian environment, this is the school for your child. The school is expanding from K-8 to K-12. The long term teachers at the school really are good and they do not let your child get away with doing less than they are capable of. Weekly chapel is a joyous event, you should visit to see what Christian education at it's best is.

This school is Honolulu's best kept secret. I often hear other parents say that it really is a school of ohana and I would full heartedly agree. Christian values are taught daily and exemplified in the teacher s lives as they genuinely care about their students. I am so glad that they are starting a high school next year. Even though it is a few years away for my son, I can t imagine finding a better environment for him academically, socially, and spiritually, in preparation for his college years.

KCS has really provided a great environment for our son to grow in over the past years. We could not be more happy and thankful for the fantastic support he has received from everyone in the KCS Ohana. We have seen him progress socially and academically each year at KCS. It is almost unbelievable to me how much our son has grown in these respects and how much he has enjoyed himself in the process. Thank you KCS for the wonderful experience you have provided him.

Educators at Kaimuki Christian School demonstrate an inherent passion for their industry. The atmosphere is extremely positive and upbeat, a place where students can truly thrive in. Students are motivated to do their best while also recieving a strong spiritual foundation imprinted into their hearts. We are appreciative to have our child attending such an outstanding school.

I went to a local school fair and saw many of the great private schools in Hawaii with huge tables and lots of parents milling about them. There were just as many around the Kaimuki Christian table. When I asked the other schools what schools they liked to have their children come from, both of the larger schools pointed at the Kaimuki Christian table. They both said the kids come to them with great grades, well rounded and most of all "just good kids with good values." Wow. I was blown away. It is true, they focus on academics and values.

We have sent all of our children to this school and have been very impressed with the school. They get one of the best educations in the State of Hawaii and have wonderful teachers. They prepared our kids for Iolani and Punahou. Our older children got in to those schools with no problem. The school gave our kids confidence to handle situations that arise with peer pressure. Our kids know what is right and what is wrong. We are not overly religious but our kids have a very strong sense of what they need to do and how to focus on their goals. I know it is the school because my wife and I are so very busy that I cannot say we were the best of parents. The school did so much for us and in a way acted like a third parent, teaching and guiding our kids.

I love Kaimuki Christian because of the strong academic and religion curriculum. My children are developing into well rounded, happy individuals with unending love and faith for God.

This is a fabulous school. I was fortunate enough to have parents that cared about my education and my development as a well-rounded person. I cried when I had to leave the school and I never found a school that had such a 'family feeling' and so caring. The focus on a quality education was high and that focus from the school, its teachers and principal made it possible for me and my classmates to get into great high schools and colleges. I loved it so much that my two children now attend the school. The school is even better in so many ways.

We couldn't be happier at this school. Our two children are getting a wonderful education at a great price. My older son, graduated from the 8th grade and because of the great grades he received at Kaimuki Christian, he got into Punahou and was also accepted into several prestigious highschools. We love the teachers, principal (kind and smart), the students are well-behaved and the academic focus is excellent. It is a small school but it is probably the best kept secret in Hawaii. Actually, a lot of people know the school's reputation. Another thing that I really like about the school is that when my son went to Punahou, he was much better in many of the subjects, especially math and science. He is told by his teachers how well behaved and respectful he is. Sorry to say, that did not come from mom and dad. It came from Kaimuki Christian.
