ADMISSIONS
Welcome! We are excited for you to learn more about all that Kauai Creative Academy has to offer.
We are eager to help you understand the limitless possibilities of a Kauai Creative Academy education and encourage you to continue exploring our website to learn more about our community and the admissions process.
Be sure to speak with Miss Ilima for an in depth, mutual interview to see if the school and your student are a good fit. Then, come visit us in person! During the admissions period, we offer the opportunity to visit us during school hours on our beautiful oceanside campus where you will have a meet & greet with our faculty, our current students and their lovely parents, all of whom comprise our learning community.
Warmly,
The Kauai Creative Academy Team

Please have your child bring a large supply of hair ties and a small brush to keep in their lockers at school.
Plan to purchase:
-
One or two instruments per year. This will depend on what instrument your child selects.
-
Budget $100 - $150 to go towards purchasing materials for costuming for your child during the school year as we will have two major recitals and various community and school performances for them to participate in.
All students and parents need to be on island for both recitals.
The first one is the Winter recital which will be on the Saturday prior to Winter break at 5:00 to 8:00 pm.
The second recital will be at the end of our year which is the last Saturday in May.
Please contact Miss Ilima if there is an emergent reason why your child will not be able to attend.
