In Na Lauaʻe O Makana the main objective of our learning is to create learning environments that are enriched with ʻāina based content specific to Haʻena. Our learning outcomes are centered around things that are koʻikoʻi and waiwai to our community both historically and present. Three of our most important learning outcomes are as follows:

LO #1 Learners will be able to identify significant plant resources famous to their community in the past and present.

LO #2- Learners will be able to identify significant resources in their community in the past and present.

LO #3- Learners will be able to identify key cultural practices that are significant to their communities and how to participate in the perpetuation of these cultural practices in the future.
