Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind... or forgotten
WELCOME TO OHANA
OUR STORY
This natural phenomenon of the starlings moving together is an ideal symbol for our innovative education model. But it goes further.
See the single white bird in a flock? The idea was simple: to shine a light on the flock and the individual.
ABOUT OHANA
Ohana is designed to help children learn differently – in the way that works best for them. We offer specialist, online education pathways for children who need a personalised way of learning outside of a traditional school setting. Ohana is a bold rethinking of what education should look like when it genuinely centres on the needs of neurodiverse learners.
Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind… or forgotten. This powerful concept lies at the heart of our online school and guided learning pathways. Our online school is personalised to the learning needs of neurodiverse children, and children who don’t flourish in a traditional school environment. Whether a child is autistic, has ADHD, dyslexia, other cognitive differences, or mental health concerns, we play to their strengths, helping them navigate their unique challenges.
We offer three distinct learning pathways:
Ohana Explorer – our fully online school
Ohana Wayfinder – blended learning for children who have been out of education for a prolonged period
Ohana Pathmaker – for those transitioning back to school
We tailor each child’s education package around our Sense Wheel, giving a sense of structure and a clear pathway for success.
OHANA MISSION, VISION AND VALUES
Our mission, vision and values shape our approach to online education. We focus on helping each child learn through engaging experiences and strong connections, supporting their growth and guiding them to discover their strengths and reach their full potential – and ultimately find their unique. This is what we stand for – today, tomorrow and beyond.
