• Globally Competitive, Locally Committed
  We envision a K-12 public education system that prepares all graduates to be Globally Competitive, Locally Committed. That means our students not only have the academic knowledge and skills to thrive and be successful, but also possess that special sense of responsibility to give back to our communities and island home.

Enrolling in Hawaiʻi’s public schools is a straightforward process that involves determining school eligibility, preparing required documents, and completing an application either online or in person.

Summer School

The Department will offer a wide range of summer learning opportunities this year to support students across all grade levels, with programs focused on academics, enrichment, transitions and college and career readiness.

Ride the Bus

The Department provides bus service in neighborhoods around the islands to ensure broad access to educational opportunities for Hawaiʻi’s students and serves about 25,000 student riders across the state.
