 The Mālama Learning Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Hawai‘i. It began as a concept in 2001, with Kapolei High School seeking a performing arts auditorium for the community, and The Nature Conservancy seeking a conservation learning center. The two ideas merged, blossomed, and evolved, nurtured by creative ideas and energy brought by innovative community members yearning to build a "soul" for the new city of Kapolei.
The Mālama Learning Center is guided by a Board of Directors, supported by a Campaign Cabinet, and fueled by a lot of kōkua. The small program team could not be half as successful without the support of volunteers.

 Vision:
Kapolei High School is an exciting and dynamic student-centered
learning environment at the heart of the community.
Essential values: caring, dignity and integrity
Kapolei High School, the newest public high school on O‘ahu, serves approximately 2,500 students from the surrounding residential communities. The school serves Kapolei, Makakilo, Honokai Hale and Kalaeloa. The school is defined by six design principles: personalization, authentic and relevant learning, academic rigor, building community, career launching pad and technology. KHS provides dynamic and flexible learning environments ("family pods" and "neighborhoods" instead of classrooms) where students cultivate a sense of group as well as individual responsibility. KHS emphasizes project-based instruction with a focus on science, technology, environment, and culture and arts. It is the heart of the community, providing students, families, educators and business partners a collaborative learning environment. It is well positioned to play an even greater role in the community with the MLC.
