Lako Kula Leka Matua

Ke Kula Niihau O Kekaha is a K-12 Niihau language school. We envision students who are proficient in both the Niihau and English languages with the skills necessary for college or career upon graduation. Our students are learners of the Niihau and English languages through a two-way heritage bilingual program beginning in Kindergarten through grade 12.  While the Niihau language is the primary language of instruction, the two-way bilingual program allows students to be introduced to English reading in Kindergarten.  There is a gradual progression thereafter of English instruction until grade 5.  In grades, 6-12 instruction is delivered equally in both the Niihau and English languages.

Archiving the Niihau language is of vital concern to our school's mission, therefore, participation in programs like the PBS Hawaii HIKI NO student news program are important learning/teaching venues for our students

To better prepare our students for the future we partner with organizations like the National Tropical Botanical Gardens where our students are given the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths.
