Classes and Learning

Mahana School provides learning through being social, exploration, inquiry, and self-reflection. In every class, the focus is on encouraging belief, effort and inspiration. We aim to develop the strategies and processes involved in learning and self-growth, creating unique opportunities to prepare our students to live happy, thoughtful, creative, and fulfilling lives.

We want our students to be caring, curious and creative.

Listen with your heart

Imagine with your mind

Create with your hands

Each class captures and shares learning and communicates to parents through the 'Seesaw' App.
