Agriculture Program
As part of the school curriculum, all students have the opportunity to experience how God provides and works through nature. Learning how to prepare the soil, preserve, and market produce provides students with competencies and confidence they will build upon throughout their lifetime.
Children are provided with the opportunity to plant and care for local crops such as vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruit trees, and various other types of produce. Not only do they get to eat from the fruits of their labor, they also get to prepare their goods for the Sunshine Farmer’s Market every Wednesday afternoon in Kapa’a.
​
Community service and social skills meet business and marketing skills to really put the final touches on how much this experience enriches their education.
