The Volcano School of Arts and Sciences in Volcano, Hawaii County, United States | School

Welcome to The Volcano School of Arts and Sciences, Volcano Village, Hawaii, United States.
The Volcano School of Arts and Sciences, A Community Public Charter School, is located within the Volcano Village, Hawaii, community. In a recent survey conducted by the Volcano Community Association regarding the future needs of Volcano residents, the desire to have a School was the most commonly registered request.
With Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as their back yard, the children of Volcano live next to the world's most active Volcano, and their own yards frequently host native, even endangered, plants and animals. The Park has been named by the United Nations as a World Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, marking it as one of Earth's biological and cultural treasures. Using the National Park's geological and cultural resources as a locus and its community of scientists and specialists as mentors, the students of the K-8 School will enrich classroom experiences with discovery-based learning outside the classroom. Education will focus on experiential learning, making learning multi-sensory and relevant to their daily lives.
Centered in the community of Volcano, an area well known for its diverse artists, the School will provide an enriched arts curriculum, taking advantage of community experts and offering a spectrum of opportunities for learning and exploration through the visual and performing arts. Students will experience the arts, both by being exposed to the artistic expression of practicing professionals and by expressing themselves individually and in groups through a variety of media and tools.
