Kīhei Charter School open house and registration dates have been announced by Michael Stubbs, head of school.

The school’s open house informational sessions will be held on campus starting at 5 p.m. on March 1, March 9, March 21 and March 30. Meetings are open to the public and consist of a tour of the three-story campus and an explanation of the school’s unique programs, including Project Based Learning. 

The school term will run from August 7, 2023, to May 30, 2024.

Applications to apply for enrollment in the Kihei Charter School will be available beginning March 1 at any of the information sessions or by going online to the Kiheicharter.org website. Information sessions will be for all levels, K-5 Elementary School, Middle School grades 6-8, and High School grades 9-12.
