The Ho'olaulea honored the mission of the preKindergarten through 12th grade Hawai'i focused public charter school, which services students who are 53 percent from low-income families and 47 percent Native Hawaiian, most of them from Ocean View through Kaʻū into Puna, and all living within five districts on Hawai'i Island.
The school's welcoming words are "Kulia. 'Ohana. Aloha." It serves about 225 students and has been educating for 15 years.
The school is on two campuses within Volcano Village, one at 99-128 Old Volcano Road and the Keakealani Campus at 19-4024 Haunani Road where new facilities are being developed.
Volcano School of the Arts & Sciences puts forth a philosophy that "education is more meaningful to
children when presented in an environment that is familiar, that relates to their home life, and that allows for discovery-based experiential learning." That approach was on hand at the Ho'olaulea with Hawaiian music, cultural experiences and activities connected to nature.
