At Mālamalama, which means "The Light of Knowledge" in Hawaiian, we follow the innovative and developmentally-oriented curriculum of Waldorf education. Our curriculum is designed to meet the specific developmental milestones of children at each age and grade, providing a holistic and balanced approach to education. Our dedicated faculty have crafted curriculum standards for Grades 1-8, preschool, and kindergarten, drawing from Rudolf Steiner's educational philosophies and the principles adopted by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and WECAN.

∙ To engender a sense of belonging to a community that nurtures and supports the uniqueness of each individual.
∙ To develop in the child a sense of being a “world citizen” through a curriculum utilizing world literature, foreign languages, and multi-cultural enrichment.
