Pono Learning

Admissions Process
The admissions process is as follows:

1. Attend an Information Session

Information sessions offer parents who are interested in joining our community the opportunity to hear about Pono’s philosophy and principles, the different elements of our unique learning environment, the admission process, and more. In these meetings, new parents get to meet our founder and director, teachers, as well as other parents and children who are part of our community. We encourage parents to bring their children to enjoy a Pono experience. Snacks will be offered to all. Information session meetings last usually for an hour.

You can always view the current schedule of Information Sessions by visiting the Calendar tab. If you would like to attend, please let us know by writing to info@ponolearning.org.
