Founded in 1969, Assets School is the only school in Hawaii dedicated to teaching children with dyslexia and ADHD. Initially, the campus consisted of 21 temporary modular buildings due to lease requirements. In 2012, the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye initiated a process to allow Assets to purchase its land. The K-4 Village is the first phase of a master plan that will ultimately transform the campus. Designed to support Assets’ unique teaching approach—small classes (one teacher for every 5-7 students) and integrated, hands-on learning—the K-4 Village consists of three buildings arranged as “cottages” around a central courtyard. These buildings are surrounded by educationally landscaped gardens, stormwater retention bio-swales, and unique play structures. Each building is painted blue, orange, and green for wayfinding and character. The dynamic interrelationship between indoor and outdoor spaces fosters a deep sense of community.
