What Teachers Are Saying

  • The hands on experiences at the huaka'i (field trips) were so worthwhile. They were able to experience the beauty of the 'āina and art lessons that integrated well with student learning. Students created art that made them proud as artists and they had the opportunity to present to guests and share their learning.

    - 3rd Grade Classroom Teacher

  • It was great that HŌ'Ā incorporated a two-visit experience. The students learned that there is always more to learn. Each time, we switched up the work and experiences, so it was a new experience every time they visited. The māla that the keiki planted is flourishing - a good hō'ailona for how the experience was.

    - ‘Āina Educator

  • I LOVED WORKING WITH HŌ'Ā & being able to share the practice of art in 'āina with the haumāna. It's truly an honor to be able to do this work.

    - Teaching Artist

For many students, particularly those who may feel disconnected from traditional educational models, culturally grounded and creative learning opportunities can be transformative. The HŌ‘Ā program creates spaces where students feel seen, valued, and inspired. It fosters joy in learning while supporting mental wellness and positive school engagement.
