Hawaiian Language Immersion Program
The Hawaiian Language Immersion Program is an educational initiative designed to teach students the Hawaiian language, or ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, through immersive learning experiences. This program aims to preserve and revitalize the language, which is an essential part of Hawaiian culture and identity. Students engage in various subjects, including math, science, and social studies, all taught in Hawaiian.
The program is available in many schools across the state of Hawaii, catering to children from preschool through high school. By participating in this program, students not only learn the language but also gain a deeper understanding of Hawaiian traditions, values, and history, fostering a strong sense of community and cultural pride.
