Aloha School Children

What's going on?

The building housing Aloha School is being sold, and we need to raise $2.6 million to purchase it.

Without your help, the school may no longer have a home in Hanalei.

Our Story

Helping Raise Hanalei Keiki for Over 45 Years

History of Aloha School

Aloha School has been serving the North Shore Kauai Community since 1978. Two of our teachers have been teaching here at Aloha School for over 30 years each. They are now teaching second generation keiki of the north shore of Kauai.

The Current Situation

The church that owns the property is selling it. We have submitted an offer to purchase the property. The offer has been acccepted and we aim to raise $2.6 million to purchase the property.

Future Vision

Hanalei needs a preschool. A place where Keiki can learn, grow, and thrive. Aloha School has been that place for decades and plans to continue to be. Purchasing the property expands our ability to serve the community.

Exciting News: We're in Escrow!

We are currently in Escrow! We are asking for your help in donating what you can and spreading the word.

Our goal is to raise as much of the $2.6 million we need to purchase the building, in the next 60 days. Your efforts can make it so we can afford a payment that would allow Aloha School to continue operating at its current capacity, keep tuition as low as possible and allow us to pay our teachers a living wage.

Thank you for any amount you can give, you are helping save a cherished preschool that has shaped the lives of keiki and their 'Ohana for 47 years.

Your support can help preserve this vital resource for our community, ensuring that Aloha School continues to grow the hearts and minds of future generations.

Aloha School: The Heart of Hanalei for Nearly Half a Century

Aloha School has been the cornerstone of our North Shore community, nurturing keiki (children) with the love, care, and spirit of ALOHA. This cherished preschool has not only shaped the lives of its students but has also inspired them to raise their own families with the same values.

After 47 years of generously leasing the property to Aloha School, Christ Memorial Episcopal Church has made the decision to sell the property. This change presents a pivotal moment for our community. Rather than risk losing this invaluable institution that serves over 40 families on the North Shore, we have been blessed with a unique opportunity: to purchase the property and secure the school's future.

To achieve this goal, Hanalei Church of Aloha needs to raise nearly $2.6 million. This will ensure we can continue to provide affordable tuition and fair compensation for our dedicated teachers—without drastic cuts or increases.

Your support can help preserve this vital resource for our community, ensuring that Aloha School continues to shape the hearts and minds of future generations.
