Hawai‘i
Small Schools Venture

Assisting in the creation of small, equitable,
high achieving secondary schools throughout Hawai‘i

Far too many high school students do not acquire the skills, knowledge, or dispositions needed to graduate or to succeed later in life, in part because the current education system was designed for an earlier era. Our challenge today is to redesign secondary schools to meet the current needs of students and ensure that they are prepared for the future.

The Hawai‘i Small Schools Venture is part of the Office of School Redesign, a joint project of the University of Hawai‘i College of Education and the Hawai‘i Department of Education. Its purpose is to promote academic achievement and ensure that all high school students in Hawai‘i graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary for post-secondary education by assisting in the planning and creation of safe and successful small schools.
