Their vision is to perpetuate a foundation of cultural sustainability for communities (‘ohana) of Hawaiʻi through education. Their mission is to implement values and concepts from the model of a traditional fishpond to provide intellectual, physical, and spiritual sustenance for their community. They utilize the strengths and uniqueness of the fishpond as a place of learning, weaving ancestral knowledge together with western methodologies to realize their vision.
