OUR MISSION, PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY

Our Mission
Holy Nativity School is dedicated to excellence in education within a small and personalized environment. Built upon the qualities of respect and inclusion as exemplified in the Episcopal tradition, Holy Nativity School values each child’s individuality as it develops principled citizens who recognize their role in a global community.


Our Philosophy
Holy Nativity School began in 1949 as an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church, specifically to provide quality education in a Christian environment for the new community of Aina Haina and families of East Oahu. We strive to provide a stimulating educational environment that challenges students to develop to their full potential. We believe that for children to reach this potential they must be nurtured in a Christian environment and given the tools necessary to succeed both academically and spiritually.

We prepare students to be responsible, cooperative, contributing members of Hawaii's community. We foster students' self-esteem through building self-discipline and self-reliance as well as encouraging students to respect and appreciate individual and cultural differences. Holy Nativity School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, or disability in the administration of its educational and admission policies, financial aid, and other school-administered programs.
