Welcome to Roots!

Roots School is an independent private school for students from Preschool to 5th Grade. Through our arts-integrated, project-based approach, we offer multi-age classes in a small school setting, and we emphasize critical thinking and creativity. We encourage all students to develop their unique potential. Using state and national standards as the foundation, our teachers combine traditional learning with hands-on projects; to strengthen understanding and knowledge of subjects by making connections across disciplines. Roots School is located in the heart of Haiku town on the island of Maui, which provides distinctive educational and cultural resources. Our graduates attend private and public high schools across Maui, and are accepted at colleges and universities across the nation.

"My child is so eager to go to school everyday! We feel so blessed to send her to a safe, kind, and nurturing learning environment. She has developed so much confidence and truly loves learning."

Annie Polk

"Our daughter really benefits from Roots School's small class sizes and the one-on-one time she is able to get when needed. I also love the creative ways they get to learn."
