Halau Ku Mana Hawaiian Charter School educates hands-on
The Advertiser has a
story
on Halau Ku
Mana Hawaiian Charter School: "When students
at Halau Ku Mana have math and science lessons, they are as apt to be outside
learning how to build and navigate a Polynesian voyaging canoe as they are to be
in a classroom cracking open a textbook. The Hawaiian-based charter school, now
in its third year, uses hands-on projects, along with regular classroom
instruction, to teach the state's educational standards. In addition to sailing
and reef monitoring in the canoe, students can learn fish and limu cultivation
at He'eia Fishpond and lo'i restoration at Lyon Arboretum and Kanewai
Lo'i."
