Each year, during our application period, Wai’alae School offers Informational Sessions so that parents/guardians can learn more about our school and see if we’re the right fit for their child and for their family.
Students enrolled in our Preschool program are not automatically enrolled/advanced to Kindergarten when they become eligible for Kindergarten. Therefore, a new Student Application Form must be submitted. As a reminder, if your child does not reside in our service area (i.e. district), then applications are due before in district students.

Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child in Wai’alae School’s Preschool Program! Our Preschool program is authorized through Act 46 of the 2020 Hawai’i State Legislative Session and falls under the oversight of the Hawai’i State Public Charter School Commission. This is a tuition-free program, but there may be fees or costs associated with school meals and school activities.
