Private school

I am moving from the mainland this year.
I have been doing a lot of research on private schools in Hawaii, but I am still learning a lot and was hoping you could help me out.

I heard that Iolani Punahou le Jardin Midpack is in the top 4. Each school has a different culture, etc., and they are all very attractive.
I would like to know about the best parts of each school and the characteristics and personalities of the children who attend them.
Thank you very much.

Hi ！
My son attends Iolani and my nephew attends Montessori Community School.
Iolani is an academic school. I was torn between Punahou and Iolani, but decided on Iolani after seeing where their graduates went to college.
Punahou is more socialized and focuses on sports.
Le Jardin is controversial, so I chose … Le Jardin.
I heard that many kids who didn't get into Iolani or Punahou go to Midpak.
In fact, it would be easier to understand the school's color
if you go on a school tour ！.

Mr. Aquarium
Thank you for all the information you gave me right away. I have heard that there are many other good private schools in Hawaii. I guess the best way is to go on a school tour by myself.

I have recently learned that there are as many Montessori kindergartens as Starbucks in the mainland (the quality varies and you have to be discerning), but in Hawaii, even getting your child into a Montessori education is a very difficult thing to do.
I see that the entrance examination starts from the selection of the kindergarten. Thank you very much for your valuable time.

I understand ！ I came to Hawaii from Michigan and there are many Montessori schools in Michigan, but Montessori is more expensive than other schools and I didn't know which one to choose.

There are several Montessori schools in Oahu
Montessori Community School in Makiki is
an academically advanced school.

Choosing a school, it's hard to decide ….

Thank you for all the information you have given me, as I had never heard from someone who actually has a child attending the school.

As for Montessori, Michigan is the same ！
I was surprised to read the other kindergarten topics that you mentioned … I am in culture shock.
I guess there are many places where even kindergarten is not easy to get into, even if you want to get in at the last minute. You have to decide your target school in advance and choose a kindergarten … It's almost like taking an entrance exam in Japan.

If you don't mind, could you please tell us about some kindergartens that are considered academic preparatory schools?
Thank you very much.
