To normalize a system of Hawaiian education where ALL learners achieve academic excellence through an ancestral connection to the stories, traditions, and practices of their place.
To create a world-class, academically rigorous K-12 Hawaiian Immersion school within the ʻEwa land district.
In the Hawaiian language, Ea signifies sovereignty, rule, and independence. ʻEwa Moku EAducation is our commitment to a place-based educational system deeply rooted in the Hawaiian language, moʻolelo (stories), and cultural practices native to the ʻEwa Moku (land district). Here, ʻāina (land and natural resources) serves as our kumu (teacher), our textbook, and our classroom.
Alahula Puʻuloa, he alahele na Kaʻahupāhau.
Everywhere in Puʻuloa is the trail of Kaʻahupāhau.
This traditional ʻōlelo noʻeau honors the shark goddess Kaʻahupāhau and her steadfast vigilance in protecting the people of Puʻuloa from harm. The ʻEwa Moku EAducation movement emulates the ʻano (nature and character) of our ʻakuawahine—standing guard to protect our keiki’s right to a first-class Hawaiian Immersion Education directly within our own community.
