Our dream is to create a school with no limits, boundaries, or judgments. A place for the arts where people of all ages and backgrounds can freely create. Our school has a mission. We build confidence, and help to realize one's purpose. We constantly grow and learn as we teach, receiving as we give. We are kind. We are compassionate, and above all, we are brave. Kapena in Hawaiian means “Captain”. The name shows leadership and strength. If you look closely though, woven in this name is legacy, tradition, history and years of\u0003creativity, art and music. The name “Kapena” was given to my dad by his father and I carry this name forward in hopes to continue a legacy, bring more tradition, create new history and\u0003inspire the next generation to learn so that one day, they can teach.
