American Renaissance Academy

The Greatest School for our child! His teachers inspire him to reach his potentional and we are so pleased with his progress over the past four years at ARA. We are a family that both parents work full time so the afterschool swimming team and performing arts programs on campus really helps with our busy schedules. I don't know how we would be able to get the same activities if he was attending the other schools in kapolei because they all release the children from school so early. The longer school days and after school programs really helps us. Thank you ARA!!!!

Best private school on the west side of oahu!

I wish I could give this school a "5" star. They have the potential but lack in many areas. Many teachers there lack the skills educators should possess, including elementary or early childhood education degree's that focus on foundations of education and educational psychology. The administration is ran by 2-3 employee's the rest is parent volunteer's. Teacher turnover is extremely high, Student turnover the same. Your child will have homework no matter what they advertise. All school year long you will be required to pay more fee's so don't account for just the base 12K tuition. It really adds up. It seems your child's education is not the #1 priority there. The school does not have a base curriculum individual teachers do. I have noticed with the males in the school not many of them stay more than two years. There is no Principal they have a CEO who is a parent to 4 children there 3 students and 1 teacher. Until the school can operate more professionally I would have to recommend you do not enroll your child there. It seems convenient with the long hours but your child’s education,well-being, and your money should be highly taken into consideration.
