Established in 1908, Pa'ia School serves students from the communities of Upper Pa'ia (below Hailimaile), Lower Pa'ia, and Kuau. In addition, to the general education program, we are one of two Maui sites for the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program for grades K-5. A preschool, servicing students with special needs opened in late November 2004.
Pa'ia School rests quietly on the outskirts of the changing plantation community of Paia on the island of Maui. In fact, besides the cane fields, our closest neighbor is Holy Rosary Church across Baldwin Avenue. Skill Village, location of the closest homes, is almost a mile away.
At one time, the school's population exceeded 1,100 students. However, with the closing of the sugar plantation's housing in the 1960's and most recently, the plantation itself, the present enrollment has dwindled to approximately 210 students.
We are a culturally diverse school that currently operated under the School Community Council (SCC). The modified year-round calendar with trimesters, which made its debut during 1998-99, has reverted back to a quarterly modified school calendar from 2003-04 school year.
