At Our Lady of Good Counsel School, we believe in equipping children with the skills necessary to communicate effectively, solve problems, and collaborate harmoniously with others. Our strong track record ensures that students are well-prepared for the rigors of high school.
Our students have been successfully accepted into prestigious private high schools such as Damien, Hanalani, Iolani, Island Pacific Academy, Kamehameha, Lanakila Baptist, Maryknoll, Mid-Pacific, Punahou, Sacred Hearts, St. Louis, and University Lab School.
We are committed to continually improving our curriculum, which is thoroughly evaluated each year. It is aligned with the National Standards and Hawaii Catholic School Standards to ensure excellence. By selecting teaching materials that adhere to the latest professional standards and address student needs, we focus on the fundamentals of education while enhancing the learning experience with music, physical education, computer training, and art.
Understanding the importance of emerging technologies, we expose our students to the latest advancements such as artificial intelligence, using it as a powerful learning tool and resource. We emphasize the ethical and moral responsibilities that come with using AI, preparing students to navigate the future responsibly.
To measure our students' growth and the effectiveness of our teachers' methodologies, we implement STAR testing at least quarterly for grades 1-8. This assessment helps us ensure that we are meeting our educational objectives and effectively supporting student achievement.
Our students are celebrated quarterly for their scholastic achievements, improvements in academics and behavior, and for their service to the school, church, and community. Through our comprehensive approach to education, we foster a nurturing environment where students thrive and grow into responsible, well-rounded individuals.
