History

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

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]
