La Pietra's Curriculum

A strong college preparatory curriculum is combined with small classes assuring that attention is given to individual needs in an atmosphere of mutual endeavor and inquiry. Electives are offered by all departments.

Advanced Placement (AP) Courses

Advanced Placement courses are offered in English, History, Biology, Math, and Foreign Language.

Integration of Technology

Students have access to two fully equiped state-of-the-art multimedia computer labs. Teachers integrate technology to support learning for the modern times.

All 6th graders are assigned a laptop at the beginning of the school year to use in every class. We are currently working on a plan to provide each student at the school a laptop to use all year.

Textbook Information

La Pietra will no longer sell books. We now have an agreement with ‘ike pono, a local book-seller (phone 546-2222) who services most private schools on Oahu. Parents will be able to purchase books from their store in Kaka’ako, (with Saturday hours and lots of parking), or from their website www.coursetextbooks.com. Of course, parents are still free to purchase books from any retailer they wish, or from other students.
