Kaua'i Creative Academy
Where Aloha Guides Every Child (K-2nd Grade)
Kauaʻi Creative Academy is guided by the wisdom of Aloha and the heart of Hawaiian cultural teachings. We believe every child carries their own inner curriculum—natural curiosity, unique gifts, and a purpose that is already blossoming within them.
In our warm multi-age classroom, we gently nurture each child’s intelligence, creativity, and spirit. Students grow in their social and emotional skills, learning leadership, responsibility, and genuine care for themselves and others.
This loving environment naturally creates deep friendships and a true sense of ʻohana—family.

Once per month, we go out on field trips. Field trips are an integral part of our KCA curriculum.
