KSM Middle Schoolʻs 4 Academic Drivers
Listed below are the four academic drivers that support our middle school vision of “Emerging Hawaiian leaders equipped with 21st century skills and grounded in Christian and Hawaiian values.”
Kula Hawaiʻi / WEO
ʻIke Hawaiʻi means knowing, experiencing, feeling and understanding things Hawaiian. To strengthen ʻike Hawaiʻi at Kamehameha and within each student, the school integrates Hawaiian cultural knowledge, language, traditions, practices and skills into the curriculum and daily classroom activities at all grade levels.
College & Career Readiness
The Middle School curriculum offers students a broad-based exploratory program, which is comprised of short-term classes designed and driven by student interest and teams of middle school teachers. We have also implemented a 1 to 1 laptop program, giving the students access to the tools and technology that are a key requirement in todayʻs 21st century classroom.
Servant Leadership
Christian education, devotions, chapel services and character education are significant components of the Kamehameha experience. In order to develop empathy, social responsibility and servant leader qualities, all Kamehameha students perform meaningful and significant community service each year.
Healthy Lifestyle
Living a balanced and healthy life takes more than just a good diet and plenty of exercise. At Kamehameha Schools, we strive to teach our Haumāna the importance of being Pono in all aspects of their life, how to lead by example and to understand that a healthy lifestyle stems from being good and industrious men and women.
