 The schools' goals include revitalization of the indigenous language, fostering Hawaiian identity, and "other central features of a person's life and the life of a people" .Their community-based, Hawaiian educational philosophy – "Ke Kumu Honua Mauli Ola" – includes the use of parental labor through in-kind service, and requires that parents attended language classes and administer the schools through a parent committee .This philosophy was based on the practices of 19th-century Hawaiian-medium schools , as well as the Kohanga reo Māori language kindergartens in New Zealand.
