"Kamehameha Schools Distance Learning strives to provide quality educational opportunities for Hawaiian learners."
Mahalo for your interest in learning about the history of Kamehameha Schools Distance Learning (KSDL). The KS Distance Learning program began as a pilot during the summer of 1997. The first distance learning course offered for high school credit, Hawaiian History, was televised statewide via public access channels on all islands and offered to select boarding students from Kamehameha High School.

KSDL Website Homepage - Final Announcement Message
Aloha kākou,
In February 2016, we announced that Distance Learning is now a part of a new group within the Kamehameha Schools educational system. This transition provides us with the opportunity to focus on the exploration of digital innovations and allows us to broaden and diversify the reach of blended and online learning.
We are forever grateful to all who inspired us with their passion for learning and sharing Hawaiian culture and ʻōlelo. While it’s sad to say goodbye, we look forward to the future. If you would like to be informed about our upcoming innovative opportunities, sign up on our new mailing list.
It has been a pleasure these past nine years to aʻo aku, aʻo mai (share and learn) with all our learners. We want to mahalo our Aʻo Makua and Aʻo Kumu ʻohana who supported, inspired and shared their aloha with us. We hope you will continue to remain with us as we embark on the exploration of digital innovations.
To stay connected with Kamehameha Schools, we encourage you to follow the main KS page at: https://www.facebook.com/KamehamehaSchools.
A hui hou (With warm regards),
Kamehameha Schools Distance Learning
