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 inspires students and faculty to think beyond themselves. It encourages others to work hard, not only for themselves, but for the greater community. Hana Pono gives greater meaning to the efforts we put in, where each and every action has a greater impact."

“Le Jardin Academy provided me with a sense of belonging and an idea of what I wanted to do in this world, and I’ll have my community here forever while I learn new things and make new connections… I remember it being ingrained in me to be a lifelong learner.”
