Each ‘opio at Hālau Kū Māna spends four days per week
on Place and Project Based Learning (PPBL). Each project integrates all
core content areas of Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Hawaiian Language, Technology, and
one or more of the following: Music, Art, Health, Career Exploration,
and Life Skills. The time spent in the ‘core’ academic subjects is
equal to or greater than the average time spent weekly at mainstream
public schools, thus ‘opio receive the equivalent academic credit
toward a high school diploma.
All projects are committed to
meeting and exceeding both academic & cultural standards.
Please

project.
