Wai'aha International Family school operates on the campus of YWAM Kona's University of the Nations (a missionary training university located in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii). We primarily serve the volunteer missionary staff families by providing an excellent educational opportunity for their children.

We are a family-involvement school, which means parents teach in the classroom, alongside full-time volunteer teachers. This is a model that can be replicated in the nations with a small group of families.

Volunteer full-time teachers come alongside the students' parents to provide support and continuity. Each parent serves in the classroom to some extent, so the full time teachers are the glue that holds the model together. We accept trained teachers as well as volunteers 18+ interested in serving in an educational setting. Volunteers are welcomed into the greater community of YWAM Kona.

Our Mission

At Waiʻaha, families and teachers partner to raise children with strong faith, academic excellence, and godly character. By involving parents in classroom teaching, our cooperative homeschool model equips missionary families to thrive, on campus and in the nations.

Our Values

Wai’aha values family, Christ-centered education, academic excellence, and a heart for the nations. Wai’aha core values also come under the umbrella of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) whose mission is “To Know God and make Him Known.” YWAM affirms the Bible as the inspired and authoritative Word of God and the absolute reference point for every aspect of life and ministry. Based upon God’s Word, who He is, and His initiative of salvation through the atoning work of Jesus (His death, burial, and resurrection), the following responses are strongly emphasized in YWAM:
-Worship: We are called to praise and worship God alone.
-Holiness: We are called to lead holy and righteous lives that exemplify the nature and character of God.
-Witness: We are called to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who do not know Him.
-Prayer: We are called to engage in intercessory prayer for the people and causes on God’s heart, including standing against evil in every form.
-Fellowship: We are called to commit to the Church in both its local nurturing expression and its mobile multiplying expression.
-Service: We are called to contribute toward God’s Kingdom purposes in every sphere of life.
