Honolulu Waldorf School

Honolulu Waldorf School was founded in 1961 by a group of friends who had a shared interest in the work of Rudolf Steiner. Zena Schuman, Betty C. Wilson, Eric Wakefield, J. Edwin Whitlow, and Peter Lee were responsible for the establishment and growth of the school. The group acquired a parcel of Niu Valley land which is now the school campus through Zena’s friendship with Clorinda and Charles Lucas. Reverend Abraham Akaka gave the school its Hawaiian name Kula Ho‘omohala Pua, which translates to “school of the blossoming child”. Honolulu Waldorf School is unique on Oahu and prepares global citizens for today and tomorrow by encouraging students to be confident, imaginative, critical thinkers, and creative problem solvers. Tours are available by appointment to experience how HWS sets the stage for the development of the whole being –mind, body, spirit.
