Aloha Parents,

We are honored that you are considering Holy Nativity School as the first step to providing a solid educational foundation for your child's future. As any parent knows, getting your child into a quality school is an important, but sometimes daunting task. The following will help you with the details as you submit your child's application to Holy Nativity.

At Holy Nativity School we seek to enroll students who are of good character, who demonstrate positive behavior, who exhibit a high level of motivation, who will find success in our enriched academic program, and who will contribute their talents to the School’s community. We seek families who are committed to working in partnership with the School, and who are choosing Holy Nativity School as a long-term school placement for their child. Holy Nativity School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or disability. Special consideration may be given to children with siblings attending Holy Nativity School, children of alumni, and to members of The Church Of The Holy Nativity.

The Admission Committee reviews the same criteria for each applicant including teacher reference reports, transcripts/report cards and observations during the school visit. As part of the admission process, all applicants are scheduled to attend an Admission Activity Session or take part in a regular school day visit. Each applicant will have an opportunity to spend time participating in activities in the classroom and will meet individually with a teacher who will get to learn more about each child's individual strengths and interests.

Applications must be submitted by December 1 to be considered in the first round of admission decisions for the upcoming school year. Decisions by the Admission Committee will be made by April 15 and parents will be notified by mail in accordance with the common reply dates of the HAIS (Hawaii Association of Independent Schools). Applications will be considered after December 1 on a space available basis.
