Hawaiian education

Hawaiian education emphasizes the integration of Native Hawaiian culture, language, and practices into the curriculum. It aims to preserve and promote Hawaiian heritage while providing a comprehensive education. Schools often incorporate aloha (love), kuleana (responsibility), and mālama (care for others and the environment). The Department of Education in Hawaii supports diverse educational pathways, including Hawaiian Language Immersion Programs. Overall, Hawaiian education seeks to balance academic excellence with cultural identity, fostering a sense of community and belonging for students while preparing them for the future.
