On-Line Applications
All Pūnana Leo sites are now accepting applications for the 2010-2011 school year. Applications are accepted until all available seats are filled. There are eleven Pūnana Leo on five of the Hawaiian Islands. Interested ‘ohana may apply 3- and 4-year old keiki by completing an on-line application.
After you submit an on-line application, we will contact you by mail to schedule a Hālāwai Ho'okama'āina, similar to an open house, where we can better acquaint you with the Pūnana Leo. At the Hālāwai Ho'okama'āina we will schedule a nīnauele, or interview, with your family.
