Message from the Head of School

January 6, 2018

Aloha and Welcome to Waimea Country School!

My vision is WCS as a place of learning for our entire ’ohana. This is not the school you and I attended as children, it is better. We are progressive and forward-thinking, up on the latest research in how children learn and how best to apply that knowledge in the classroom. And you are now part of that.

As a family, you have made a commitment about an important period of change in your child’s life — establishing an academic foundation and developing a joy in learning to last a lifetime. By joining our special school, you have partnered with us in guiding your child on this journey.

Your active participation will result in your child’s accelerated, joyous learning. Working side by side with your child is a meaningful way to support learning, and it can have a lasting effect on your child’s ability to accept life’s challenges and to adapt, change and grow.

We will communicate and collaborate throughout the year as we all grow and develop — as students, as parents, and as educators. Here’s to a happy and productive year together!
