Grades 11 - 12
Project-based curriculum boosts the Diploma Programme to develop critical thinkers, and effective problem solvers, ready to positively impact the world.
We Believe in Educating the Whole Child
Core values of individuality, excellence, innovation, peace, and relationships support students in learning to lead balanced, healthy lives through constructivist approaches, self-directed inquiry, and individualized instruction.
Our Distinctions
Arts
Students explore the visual arts, performing arts, and arts through design.
Whether researching an inquiry about global art, performing in a concert, or repurposing materials for an original design, LJA students employ the arts for problem-solving and creative expression.
Innovation
All grade levels engage in rich opportunities to develop a passion for innovation.
As global citizens, students interact with community partners through shared learning, sustained social and environmental stewardship, and innovation with intention.
Impact
LJA students are immersed in experiential activities designed to make a positive impact.
Experiential education initiatives--or Impact Programs--provide diverse pathways for every student to engage in individual learning outside of the classroom on a personal, meaningful level.
Community
Community clubs and partnerships create a network that extends beyond LJA's campus.
From co-curricular clubs to active partnerships, LJA connects students with purposeful, impactful activities that make a difference in their community.
Enrichment
Fun and learning doesn't stop at the end of the academic school day.
Over 30 different learning opportunities beyond the classroom allow students to explore interests and give back to the community through after-school programs, summer fun, and summer school.
Our school is a vibrant community, where everyone is treated like Family.
"Hana Pono focuses on each individual putting in effort for the good of everyone around them, including friends, family, peers, and even strangers, to make the world a better place. Therefore, it impacts the environment and the people around us in a positive way."
Kai A. '28
“I’ve been a part of a lot of communities in my life, but LJA is definitely one of the most wonderful. Yes, we’re an IB World School. Yes, we graduate incredible students. But what truly stands out is how people show up for one another.”

A child arrives at school for the first time. Curious, hopeful, and a little unsure.
What do parents hope their child will find? A place where they are known by name, where a teacher sees the spark that makes them unique. Where they are supported when learning feels difficult, and celebrated when things click. A place where they can discover what they love, and feel that they belong.
For 65 years, this has been at the heart of Le Jardin Academy.
