History edit
Hanahauʻoli was founded in 1918 by Sophie Cooke and George Cooke, the son of Charles Montague Cooke and Anna Rice Cooke.[5] The school was founded as an experiment in progressive education as advocated by John Dewey,[6] with an emphasis on cooperation and experiential learning,[7] and was visited by Dewey and his wife a few years after its establishment.[5][8] The initial group of 15 students was made up of the Cooke family's children along with their relatives and friends.[9]
Hanahauʻoli had the first jungle gym in Honolulu.[10]
The school in recent years edit
Hanahauʻoli operates a professional development center for teachers in the community, which also offers resources for parents.[11] The school also hosts an annual children's fair.[12] In summers 2020 and 2021, Hanahauʻoli offered a five-week tuition-free summer school program for public school students in second through fifth grades.[13]
