Kindergarten Admissions Program

We understand that our parents want to start their children's educational journey with the best foundation possible. This leads many Hawaii families to jump into the often intimidating and stressful world of private school applications.

Admissions procedures are not an exact science. Each year our objective is to best prepare your child for the interview and admissions process for the top private schools in Hawaii. Schools are not always looking for the most academically gifted child, but for specific traits that they deem desirable when building their incoming Kindergarten class.

An Assessment

Our program starts with an assessment of your child by one of our team members. We will sit down with you to go over the results, highlighting areas of strength and areas that need be strengthened. This data will allow us to devise a course of action for your child.

At Kindergarten Admissions Program we use an unscripted curriculum to create a personalized path for your child. Unlike other programs which do the same process for each child regardless of their abilities, we will develop a plan to have your child ready for the interview process.
