Roots School - Private School in Maui Hawaii - Preschool

We instill enthusiasm and love for learning by providing inspiring teachers, a challenging and flexible project-based curriculum, small class size, multi-grade classrooms, and a stimulating environment.

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 high schools across Maui, and are accepted at colleges and universities across the nation.

Real Ongoing Opportunities to Soar (ROOTS) is a nonsectarian, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation licensed by the Hawaii Council of Private Schools and the State of Hawaii Department of Human Services, and is fully accredited by the Hawaii Association of Independent School (HAIS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
