Major efforts to revise the curriculum and improve student learning through standards-based instruction is underway. Teachers have had professional development in the areas of differentiated instruction, goal setting, setting and using criteria, and using assessment to drive instruction. Structured Teacher Planning Time (STPT) has been held to share instructional practices, review assessment data, and plan for instruction.
The school boasts a Character Education Program that focuses on developing a solid foundation of character education through nine Hawaiian values: Aloha, Ho'oponopono, 'Ike, Kokua, Kuleana, Laulima, Lokahi, Malama, and 'Ohana. Each grade level is responsible for a value and does a presentation at the monthly assemblies that also recognize students who display these values.
The school also has a hydroponics white house that is staffed by the retired head custodian. All students have an opportunity to plant lettuce that is taken home when fully grown. Other vegetables such as tomato, cucumber, and herbs are grown throughout the year and tended by hydroponics club that meets twice a week after school.
