Why Some Hawaii Parents Now Want Their Kids In Private School…One Catholic school principal said the calls have been nonstop, mostly from families who are tired of doing remote learning as part of the state public school system.

Dr. Mary Valenzuela, a longtime Oahu resident, has enrolled her two children, a fifth-grader and seventh-grader, in public schools their entire lives. They spent the last three years at Kainalu Elementary School and attended Mililani Mauka Elementary before that.

So it was no small decision to pull them out of public school before this school year started and enroll them in St. John Vianney Parish School, a small Catholic school in Kailua.
