Lima Noʻeau Culture

Haumana centered and career – focused, Lima No‘eau will focus on 3 key drivers in creating a strong student culture that promotes student engagement, persistence, and success:

Ensuring every student in our schools has a strong relationship with a caring adult and with their peers
Developing a sense of purpose in every student
Developing a sense of belonging for every student

Students, teachers, administrators, and parents will all be provided resources and support to enable a successful learning environment.

The Lima No'eau team will focus on the important task of supporting students and families from the onboarding process to ongoing engagement and non-academic support that helps students and families persist with an improved focus on academic progress.

Lima Noʻeau Families

Lima No‘eau will be a statewide virtual school and will serve all communities in Hawaii. Our school is built to serve students of various educational needs, including:

students eligible for free and reduced lunch
students in special education
English language learners
intellectually gifted students
students in remote communities

Our virtual model and curriculum have enabled us to design a school that responds to the needs and interests of our haumāna.

Engaging Our Families

Parent Advisory Organization: serves as a direct communication link between the families and the school, and is a resource for parents.
Regular conferences and conversations between teachers and learning coaches (parents/guardians of students)
