Our One-to-One Learning program is called the “Ke Ko’i Lipi” (sharp adze). An adze is a Hawaiian axe made out of fine basalt stone. It is found in only a few special areas, such as Mauna Kea, and Puʻu Moiwi on Kahoʻolawe. Before the arrival of iron, koʻi were our kūpuna most prized and important tool for building hale (houses), waʻa (canoe), and kiʻi (sacred wooden images). Koʻi were passed down through ‘ohana and were also known to possess spiritual mana. Koʻi were an important tool for our ancestors in all aspects of society. It is an appropriate to use for the name of our program, which helps our students to be industrious builders in their search for knowledge and truth.
