“The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”
- Mark Van Doren Full-Time InstructionSchool just doesn't work for some kids. This is where it starts to get better with our full-time instruction. Our day school is individualized for your student.
Kosasa Academy provides a full academic program to a growing number of students who need a different way or place to learn. Programs are custom designed to meet each student’s needs. Call Mrs. Kosasa at (808) 258-3951 to discuss your child’s unique needs. Partial programs are also available for those students who attend school or homeschool part time.

"My son has been going to Kosasa Academy in Kailua since February for reading. It's now May and his improvement is dramatic. He also loves going. We were considering stopping at the end of the school year but he wants to continue, and honestly we were both a little sad about stopping. He's made a great connection with his tutor. I highly recommend Kosasa Academy."
