YOUTH EDUCATION

OVERVIEW

Navigating school options is a key part of settling into life in Hawaiʻi, especially for military families who may relocate frequently. This section provides an overview of Hawaiʻi’s education landscape—from state-run public schools and preschools to charter, private, and homeschooling options—along with programs and protections designed specifically to support military-connected students. You’ll find information on enrollment requirements, transition support, after-school care, and resources that help ensure your child experiences a smooth, successful move and a strong academic start while stationed in Hawaiʻi.
