To navigate successfully, a voyager must have a clear destination in mind. The Navigators’ Center finds its destination in the success and wellbeing of our students. In the spirit of Kamaile Academy’s values and in line with the Results Framework produced by the National Coalition for Community Schools[1], the following overarching goals serve as benchmark indicators for the Navigators’ Center. Click on any of the goals to learn more about them and to see data on our progress.

 

1. Academics: Kamaile Academy students will succeed academically. More specifically, Kamaile students will successfully advance through all levels of school (PreK-12), meet academic benchmarks in line with both the DOE's Strive HI Performance System and internal Kamaile measures, and enter into a post-secondary education program.

 

2. Health & Wellness: Kamaile Academy students will understand what it means and have access to services that enable them to be healthy and happy. Namely, Kamaile students will receive the education, screenings, and services listed in the Kamaile Wellness Plan; self-report on their own physical, emotional, and social well-being; and have ongoing access to the Kamaile Olakino Maika‘i Health Center.

 

3. Community Support: Kamaile Academy students will experience the support of their families and community. Specifically, family members will involve themselves with their students’ education, community partners will contribute meaningful to our school, and family and community will self-report satisfaction with our school.

 

In order to ensure that these goals remain the ultimate destination toward which all of our work is directed, the Navigators’ Center utilizes the long-term strategies found through the links above as a foundation for our work. We plan for our major targets to be met at the end of SY2013-14, which would mark 3 years of operation for the Navigators’ Center. Nevertheless, we have already achieved some very encouraging progress that is noted within the plans.
