Aloha kakou!

We welcome our students and their ‘ohana into the Business and Leadership Academy.
As your teachers, we have over 58 years of teaching experience, including all or parts of 40 years at the Kamehameha Schools, both on Hawai’i and O’ahu. We also have experience outside of education in the fields of business management, small business entrepreneurship, travel service industry including food service, and various retail ventures. Two of us are KS boarding graduates. We grew up on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Kaua`i, and O’ahu, as well as in the state of Washington. As well as teaching, we have many other kuleana at the school, including career guidance and counseling of academy students, coaching, class and club advising and professional mentoring to name several. We are working to create a learning environment that prepares our students for the expectations and challenges of the world after high school. Our academy curriculum is based on real-life experiences; with this principle in mind, our students will be engaging in service learning projects our in our communities throughout the year.

Ke Ali’i Bernice Pauahi Bishop’s mission “to educate children and youth of Hawaiian ancestry to become good and industrious men and women” is our guiding principle. Without ethical leadership, we cannot fully achieve our Princess’s intention. We invite students and their ‘ohana to continue with us on this journey toward principled learning and living.

O ke kahuna mamua, mahope ke kukulu: The site first, and then the building. Learn all you can, then practice. (Pukui, Olelo Noeau).

I mua, Business and Leadership Academy. I mua, Kamehameha.
