by a parent
Wednesday, August 5, 2015

My 3 children have attended Mokulele for the past 3 years and we have been very happy with our experience here. We have found it to be small and safe.
Several teachers are stand-outs in commitment and professionalism: Mrs. Furukawa, Ms. Luckie, Mrs. Levinson, and Mrs. Kajiyama are 1st-rate teachers. All grades have parent orientations to keep you in-the-know.
There are several ways this school stands out from others in the area:
There is a music program! All grades get to attend once a week classes with Mrs. Okinishi. As a bonus: 3rd gr learns recorder & 4th gr learns ukulele. After school, she offers extra classes in many types of instruments. My children are learning guitar and percussion.
There is also an after-school art program. The 2nd grade brings in a professional artist during the year to teach workshops.
My older boys have especially loved being members of TROOPS (recess monitors) and JPO (Jr. Police officers) where they learn drills, discipline, and peer mediating.
The many field trips have been fun and educational: Hawaii Youth Symphony, Theatre, Aquarium, and Kaneohe Fish Pond were some favorites.
Any negative reviews from others regarding curriculum are not valid because, as of last year, Common Core was implemented in all public schools across the nation. Now the curriculum is THE SAME, NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO! Like it or not (I actually don't like it), that's the way it is everywhere.
I feel that, where possible, important for parents to be involved in their children's school, as it helps them excel to their best ability. Mokulele has provided that opportunity for us. Close Quote
