At Kamakani O Ka Moku 'Āina Performing Arts Academy we are passionate about the next generation and the positive role that understanding their culture can play in their lives. The way we see this all coming together is by valuing:

 

FAMILY - ‘OHANA - AIGA - WHANAU

We believe that support from a child's family is key in seeing them flourish. 

 

RESPECT

We believe that cultivating a respectful relationship between instructors, students, and peers is important to creating a healthy environment to learn and to overflow in creating respectful relationships in family, school, and community.

 

RESPONSIBILITY

We strive to teach each student that they are responsible for themselves in and outside of classes. And the amount of effort they put into their classes is the outcome they will see in the end.

 

APPRECIATION OF EACH CULTURE

We see value in each culture and the lessons that it can teach us. We believe that this can be accomplished by teaching the basics of culture which include, language, history, and customs. We also believe that to truly understand who you are you must understand where you came from. 

 

PERFORMING ARTS

We value performing arts because it's the tool we use to express creativity. We also view performing arts as a means for students to learn humility and service to others.

 

EXCELLENCE

We value excellence in all that we do. Excellence to us means displaying the best effort that you're capable of and then striving to get better. From the classroom to the stage, excellence is our goal.
