Summer School FAQs
Hanahau‘oli appreciates your interest in our summer school program. This section contains information and answers to questions frequently asked by parents and caregivers. We hope this will be helpful to you during the summer school registration process.
WHEN IS SUMMER SCHOOL?
Hanahau‘oli School’s 2020 Remote Summer Program, consisting of a variety of classes over a 5-week period (June 22 - July 24, no school July 3) for a wide range of ages, fees, and durations; we even have adult and parent-child classes!
What are your International Students and Out-of-State Policies for Summer School?
English Proficiency is Required
Attending Hanahau‘oli Summer School can be a formative experience, translating into new ambitions and life-long friendships. Due to the short duration of summer school, we are not able offer an ESL (English as a Second Language) or ELL (English Language Learner) program. Therefore, all international students entering Junior Kindergarten through grade five must have appropriate grade level English proficiency. Appropriate grade level English proficiency is defined as the ability to understand and communicate (listen, speak, read, write) at the appropriate entering grade level. We want to ensure all students have an emotionally and physically safe and enriching summer experience. Should a student demonstrate difficulty communicating or adjusting to the Summer School routines, the School, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withdraw the student without any refund of tuition.
International families will be asked about their child's current school and grade level, language(s) spoken, English proficiency, and any siblings that may be interested in attending Hanahau‘oli Summer School.
