In today's world, becoming
a learned person is just the beginning of an individual's
development. At Maryknoll School, we strive to develop
the whole child, surely academically, but also physically,
artistically, spiritually, and morally - to become
a learner for life. Futurist Alan Toffler defines
the literate person of the 21st century as "one
who can learn, unlearn and relearn." So,
our emphasis, while on skill development and mastery
of the basics, must also be on critical thinking and
conscious understanding of learning how to learn.
To
accomplish this best, we want your child to be served
by exceptional teachers, recognized for their excellence
locally, regionally and nationally. We want your child
to learn from such people as the National Economics Teacher of the Year, Hawaii 's World Language
Teacher of the Year, Middle School Educator of the Year, and
the Diocesan Catholic School Teacher of the Year.
We want your child taught by acknowledged practitioners
of their craft such as award winning artists, writers,
creative directors and musicians. We want your child's
learning to be guided by those who are highly respected
in the educational community such as the President
of the Hawaii Association of Middle Schools, one of
Hawaii's Top 50 High Tech Leaders, the District Director
of the National Science Teachers Association, and
from teachers who have been selected for entry into
“Who's Who Among American Teachers,” who are Fulbright
Scholars and Klingenstein Scholars, and teachers who
are in high demand as conference and workshop speakers.
At
Maryknoll School, your child will.
As
proud as we are of our students and staff, however,
we are even prouder of the vibrant family spirit that
is at the heart of Maryknoll School – of students,
parents, teachers, and staff all working together
to create a dynamic community of learners and future
leaders and provide excellence in education.
