A
Little About Our School
Located
on the western slope of volcano
Hualalai in tropical
Kona, Kealakehe Intermediate School serves the greater Kailua-Kona
area. We have a student population of about 950, in grades
six through eight. Although one of the largest intermediate
schools in the State of Hawaii, Kealakehe's student population
is divided into learning communities of between eighty and
ninety students, led by four-teacher teams. This approach
to learning has rewarded all our partners in education with
higher scores on the Hawaii Standards Assessment test.
Views
from our mountainside campus take in
Honokohau Harbor,
Keahole Airport, innovative new deep-ocean aquaculture
enterprises along the coast, the historic town of
Kailua with its
old stone church,
royal palace and bustling tourist industry, hotels,
Kailua Bay and anchored cruise
ships.
Because
of our unique location, Kealakehe Intermediate School has
a very diverse population. Ethnically and socio-economically,
our children represent a wide cross-section of daily life
in Hawaii, and this makes us an exciting school in which to
teach and learn. |
