Haili Christian School

Mission Statement

Haili Christian School is a diverse community of learners with a rich tradition of excellence. We exist to ensure that each student reaches academic success, spiritual (Christian) growth and social responsibility by providing a sound Christian learning environment customized to each student's needs and aspirations.

Our Founder  

The Reverend David Awai Kauka Ka’apu       1923-1979

 Haili Christian School opened its doors in September of 1978 to 2 teachers and 13 students.  Inspired to reach children and families in our community with the joy and saving grace found in a relationship with Jesus, the Reverend David Ka'apu put together a team of educators and supporters to carry out the mission of Haili Christian School.  Today we celebrate God's faithfulness through the years and rejoice in the growth He continues to provide.

 Through education and personal relationships our students will discover how great our God is; how vast His love for them.  It was the prayer of our founder that God would enable the leadership and staff of Haili Christian School to live lives “worthy of the gospel of Jesus”, in the witness of His love, and in humility be examples for children to follow.

 Relying completely on God’s strength, we offer an excellent education and the saving knowledge of the Word of God; our aim is to teach young people to live as they learn.

 This handbook is meant to cover essential areas of the general philosophy and objectives of Haili Christian School.  Information that is more specific will be provided as needed.  Please review the contents of this handbook periodically with your child. 

 THE PARENT-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP 

A parent-school partnership develops when both parent and school commit to working together.  As between a husband and wife in a healthy marriage, cooperation and communication between the parent and the school are vital.  The school is committed to communicate regularly to the parent about the student’s progress.  Parents are also encouraged to initiate contact with the teachers.  Haili cannot accomplish its purpose without the cooperation of the home in regard to the guidelines established for our students. 

God has given parents the responsibility for the discipline and instruction of their children.  They are to train each one diligently in God’s truth.  (Ephesians 6:4; Deuteronomy 11:18-21).

 Parents who select Haili Christian give our faculty and staff authority to teach and train their children.  The school assists parents in teaching truth to their children and in training them according to biblical standards.  (Psalm 34:11; Luke 6:40) 

All instruction at Haili is related to the Word of God.  We intend to teach every subject from a biblical perspective to provide the viewpoint, general background truth, and principles for interpreting the facts encountered in the study of any subject. 

Parents who decide to enroll (or re-enroll) their child in Haili Christian School are providing an education, which is openly committed to a biblical view of God and life.

 THE PURPOSE 

The primary purpose of the school is to provide a sound academic education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world.  This requires that the curriculum present life as it really is.  At Haili we believe that the only way a student can understand his place in the world is by understanding and acting upon what the Creator says about Himself and His creation. 

Ø      God is the creator and sustainer of all things and the source of all truth 

Ø      God maintains control over His entire universe 

Ø      Man is part of the creation but unique in that he alone is created in God’s image.  He alone must choose whether he will have a relationship 

Ø      Because of sin, man lost his ability to have an abiding relationship with God by deliberate choice

 Ø      God supplied the means for re-establishing that relationship through His Son Jesus Christ

 Ø      It is impossible to please God unless we have faith in Him.  (Hebrews 11:6) Faith is acting on His promises 

Ø      Regeneration is the spiritual change wrought in man by the Holy Spirit, by which he becomes the possessor of a new life by faith in Jesus Christ.  True meanings and values can be ascertained in the light of His person, purpose and work 

Ø      God has revealed Himself in a general way in His world and universe and in a specific way in the Bible
