If you're considering a move to Keali'i by Gentry in Ewa Beach, one of the first things you'll want to know about is the schools.

Private & Charter School Options

While public schools in the Ewa Beach area are solid, some Keali'i families prefer private or charter alternatives. Here are a few within reasonable driving distance:

  • Island Pacific Academy — Located in Kapolei, this independent school offers K-12 education with small class sizes and a project-based learning approach
  • Our Lady of Perpetual Help School — A Catholic school in Ewa Beach offering faith-based education for grades K-8
  • Kapolei Charter School — A public charter option with a focus on Hawaiian culture and place-based learning

Kristy and I have helped families weigh the pros and cons of each option. If you'd like our honest take on which schools might be the best fit for your family, just reach out to us — we're happy to share what we've learned from living and working in this area.

School Tips from Our Team

After years of helping families relocate to Ewa Beach, here are a few things we always recommend:

  1. Verify your school zone — Boundaries can shift, so always confirm with the Hawaii DOE before making assumptions
  2. Visit campuses — Nothing beats walking through a school in person. Most Ewa Beach schools welcome prospective family visits
  3. Talk to neighbors — Keali'i has an active community, and current residents are usually happy to share their school experiences
  4. Consider after-school programs — Many schools in the area offer A+ after-school care, which is a lifesaver for working parents
