Welcome to Kauai Creative Academy

Welcome! We are excited for you to learn more about all that Kauai Creative Academy has to offer.

Kauai Creative Academy offers two unique opportunities for children and families: our private school of academics and the performing arts, as well as our Afterschool Creative Movement Program, featuring dance, gymnastics, aerial silks, and other engaging movement experiences.

We are eager to help you discover the possibilities of a Kauai Creative Academy education and encourage you to continue exploring our website to learn more about our programs, community, and enrollment process.

For families interested in our private school, we invite you to speak with Miss Ilima for an in-depth, mutual interview to explore whether our school and your student are a good fit. We also welcome you to come visit us in person! During the admissions period, families have the opportunity to visit our beautiful oceanside campus during school hours, meet our faculty and current students, and experience the warm community that makes Kauai Creative Academy special.

For families interested in our Afterschool Creative Movement Program, we invite you to connect with us to learn more about our current classes, schedules, and opportunities for your child to explore movement, creativity, strength, coordination, and joyful self-expression.

We look forward to connecting with you and welcoming you into our community!

Warmly,
The Kauai Creative Academy Team

Artistic After-School Program Preparation

​

K- 2nd graders need one pink spaghetti strap or short sleeve leotard, 1 pair of black dance shorts, 1 pair black dance leggings, nude jazz shoes, pink ballet shoes, and black tap shoes. ​

 

Age 8 to 15 yrs will need two black spaghetti strap leotards, 1 pair of black dance shorts, 1 pair of black dance leggings, nude jazz shoes, and pink ballet shoes.

​

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.
