South Maui Montessori 100 Kulanihakoi Street, Kihei, HI 96753

"Both of my children attend MHOK Montessori. My son started 3 years ago and this is my daughters first year. We have watched my son progress in all areas of academics as well as with his confidence and willingness to learn. The Primary program has been super, we have enjoyed watching our children grow as independent people. The teachers and the staff all have a vested interest in the growth and development of each child. It is so great to have a place where we not only trust everyone but know that our children will thrive. I highly recommend this school."

"I can't say enough good things about this school. I live on Maui because I want to invest in my family and our time together. We found this school when our son was 3 years old. For us, our immediate decision was based on how incredibly caring and vested the primary teachers-Miss Eva and Miss Ashli are. To leave our child in their care was a major decision for us. Now that our son is in his 3rd year in the primary class, and our daughter is in her 1st, we completely value the Montessori education that is bestowed upon them. Originally, we were not fully aware of this style of curriculum and have been able to witness so much growth in all areas of our children's well being. Everything from their intellect, their confidence and their willingness to participate. My children love to go to MHOK. Kristin and the entire staff share in the passion, development and future of the students & school. MHOK creates a true Ohana atmosphere and embodies the reason I live on Maui."

"Fun, real life learning with great curriculum. Gorgeous campus. Wonderful community. The students, parents, and teachers genuinely love the school."

"I have two children who attend South Maui Montessori school. When is in first grade and enter the school last year. During his first month of school maybe three weeks in, he said to me “mom, I like School better than I thought“ I think that’s what every parent wants to hear. I was so happy that we found a school he likes going to every day. He loves doing cursive, and multiplication tables, neither of which he would be learning at this age in a public school. My other son is in fourth grade, and has been going to the school since first grade. What I noticed both when he entered first and when he entered the upper classroom and fourth is a huge jump in self-discipline, responsibility, and getting work done. My other son is in fourth grade, and has been going to the school since first grade. When I noticed both when he entered first and when he entered the upper classroom and fourth is a huge jump in self-discipline, responsibility, and getting work done. It’s amazing to see him come right home from school and complete his homework right away. Then in the morning he gets up and pretty promptly finishes his chores. I’m really grateful that the school not only teaches academics, but really contributes to shaping well-rounded people who take responsibility and pride in their work."

"My 3 year old son loves his school. He’s been in daycare since he was 9 months old and drop offs have always been so hard. Since starting at Montessori drop offs are easy. He runs to show me how fast he can go on the monkey bars. When he gets home, he sings to me while he shows me all the hand movements that go along with the songs. He tells me about the puzzles he put together that day. He has gymnastics at the school every Wednesday through Maui Tumblers and asks me if he can go again and again and again. My boyfriends son just started here as well. Hearing what the teachers have to say about their days and how invested they are during/for their transition... it’s been such a great family experience. I am so pleased to have our boys here!"
