My daughter is now 3 years old and in preschool, and I submitted an aprike to the
Hana Hau'oli School from Junior Kinder.
I learned from this topic and the ADMISSION Q ＆ A page on the Hana Hau'oli WEBSITE that although there is a quota of 20 accepted students,
preference is given to those who have family members or siblings who have attended or children of people who work at Hana Hau'oli.
We understand that the quota for people with no connections at all is actually about 5 and very difficult to get in.

Those of you who took the exam last year, we were told that there is an hour and a half exam time for groups.
How many applicants per group and how many times were there in total?
Also, if I am rejected, is there no Kinder, as the next applique is Grade 1?
In case of rejection, will everyone be put on the WAIT LIST?

Please let me know if you know.

Hana Hau'oli is a top school and all graduates go to Punahou and Iolani, right?
Punahou and Iolani are big schools, so Elementary is good for Hana Hau'oli's small class sizes and teacher attention
A mom friend from Iolani has her son attending Hana Hau'oli.

I thought all the unsuccessful students are placed in the WAIT POOL ？.

I believe ？ that not all rejects are on the wait list
but I'm not sure … if some are on the wait list or not … I'm not sure.

Hanahauori, my daughter took the test last year and was not accepted.
There were almost 260 applicants for 24 slots,
27 were accepted last year and 30 made the wait list.
I heard that my friend's child was able to stay on the wait list.
Hanahau'oli does not take the kinder exam, but the junior kinder
Wait list is filled only by those who are left out of kinder to Punahou or Iolani.
About 200 are just rejected.
It's a miracle that they even stay on the Wait list, it's such a competitive school.

Thank you all.
It is still a very difficult school. I was told by the school that it is more difficult than getting into
Punahouiolani.
I see that only a very small number of students can remain on the WAIT LIST.
I thought about trying Hanahauuolis School since I was not accepted to my first choice Montessori Community School at age 3, but the school told me it was extremely difficult and just the best in Hawaii for my child's education if I could get in.

Thank you for your valuable input.

I think you should just submit an application.　My daughter got in from Lillee K without any knees or anything, and my son got in from 2nd grade.　Admission to Kinder is only available if there are openings, and the child of a waiter who took the pre is entitled to it, but I believe they submit an application every year after that for the rest of the school year.

There were a few kids who moved or moved to other schools while they were in school.

Dear Aloha
Thank you. Both of your children attended Hana Hau'oli.
I see that you can submit an application every year from Grade 1. We didn't make the WAIT LIST, so it looks like we can't submit Kinder, so
I will try again for Grade 1.

I was told that there are a few slots at Montessori Community School where some children move from Grade 4 to Punahou, so there are quite a few slots to get in again with a Grade 5 applique.
I am sure it is for the same reason.
＃ Exactly the same as 2cake's comment, Elementary is small, close to teachers and classmates, and a good environment for close attention, and afterwards, almost all of the students go on to Punahou or Iolani
either Hana Hau'oli or Montessori Community. We are in a friendly competition to send them to either Hana Hau'oli or Montessori Community Elementary.

If you don't mind my asking, did your children go on to Punahou or Iolani after graduating from Hana Hau'oli?
What was the best thing about attending Hana Hau'oli? Please let me know if you don't mind. Thank you very much.

The majority of our children's classes were Punahoe, Iolani if the parents were alumni, and a few were mid-pack.　We both moved to Punahou in 7th grade.　The best thing about attending Hana Haoli is not only the quality of the teachers, but the community with the parents has been a great asset.　I believe that my children have learned to think and act on their own.　It's been a long time since we graduated, but we still have a close family relationship with both the children and their parents.
