A North Shore Oahu home comes with certain challenges. As residents there proudly acknowledge, it is Oahu’s version of The Country, placing you in the midst of incredible scenes of Nature’s beauty and power, but also making even daily errands a longer haul. However, one thing that is covered is the school system.
7 Elementary schools are found from Kaaawa, where the borders of Windward Oahu and the North Shore blur, all the way east to Waialua. The smaller population does mean, however, that the Intermediate and High School levels are combined, with just 2 up here.
That’s the same number of private schools within this district, one of them that’s sure to be a surprise to even experienced Hawaii education watchers. There’s also the North Shore Charter School that’s aiming to open for the 2018/19 term, serving, at least initially, 7th & 8th grades. Though not an option now, it shows the possibilities for the future.
The choices may not be as broad on the North Shore, but they are solid and your child will find a place in their classroom waiting for them. Country life doesn’t mean a long bus ride to town any longer for the keiki of today’s North Shore homeowner.
