Enrollment in the Green School is an easy two step process.
First, read through the web site and then send us an email at greenschool@oneisland.org . Let us know what age your student is, what community you live in, and we’ll email a short application.
- Second, if you decide to apply to join the Green School, let us know by email and then send in the application student’s interests, curiosities, and learning needs with a deposit or full session payment. The full applications for Winter/Spring 2015 will be accepted up until December 15th on a first come first serve basis. After reviewing that application, the enrollment decision will be made and we’ll notify the families of the outcome no later than 1 week after application is received. Classes begin third Friday for Kona and second Friday for North Kohala.

Community Service Learning, Family Fun Days and Field Trips
These character-building and family strengthening activities are voluntary options sponsored by One Island in cooperation with the Kohala Green School.
- Family Fun Days happen on Fridays or weekends and welcome all members of your family to come enjoy a great learning experience with fellow home schooling families and friends of the green School. Papermaking, tamale making – a wide range of activities. We keep the costs as low as possible for materials and instructor time for these gatherings.
- Service Learning – encouraged where age appropriate. While the School will help coordinate service learning placements, it is up to the family to provide reliable transportation to and from the student’s chosen project site. We encourage participation at several community and farm sites each year for fullest enrichment. Average time involvement is 2 hours a month. Locations may be in your neighborhood or with One Island in the community, based on transportation abilities.
- Field trips are optional family enrichment and bonding days and group rates will help keep the costs down, or will be offered at no cost when possible. Carpooling is encouraged. Dates, times and costs will be announced in advance.
