Vision:
Kua O Ka Lā has adopted the concept of `Ke Ala Pono – The Right Path – to describe our goal of nurturing and developing our youth. We believe that every individual has a unique potential and that it is our responsibility to help our students learn to work together within the local community to create a future that is pono – right.

Mission:
To provide students of the Puna and Hilo communities with a quality education that addresses their distinctive learning styles in order to enable them to become contributing members of society.

Location:
Kua O Ka Lā is located at Pu`ala`a, Puna, next to Ahalanui warm pond. Pu`ala`a is an intact ancient Hawaiian village complete with historical sites, fishponds, and native habitat that affords an ideal outdoor learning environment for our project-based curriculum.
