Founded in 1918, Hanahau`oli is an elementary school in Honolulu, Hawaii that promotes academic excellence with its progressive education approach developed from the teachings of John Dewey. Our graduates tell us that their years of "joyous work" made them independent and resourceful individuals. They are creative problem solvers because they developed a love of learning at this unique elementary school of 200 children.
Hanahau`oli seeks to connect school with life and, therefore, helps children relate what they are learning to the world of which they are and will be a part. While maintaining its legacy through long-held traditions, Hanahau`oli invites you to learn about our students, faculty, program and activities through this web site.
Special greetings to our alumni/ae who share memories of the wonders of childhood from their years of learning at Hanahau`oli.
Aloha,
Dr. Robert G. Peters, EdD
Head of School
