History :

Located on the island of Oahu, Laie Elementary is situated on the scenic North Shore. Tropic breezes sweeping across the deep blue Pacific Ocean pass over the school grounds as they head toward the verdant Koolau Mountains.

A school steeped in tradition, Laie started off as an elementary school organized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in 1895, staffed by church missionaries. It was located on a prominent hill just southeast of the "old Laie Chapel" and was called Latterday Saints Private School.

Church leaders decided to build a temple on the hill where the school was situated. In 1919, the school, consisting of 6 wooden buildings, was moved to its present location near Kamehameha Highway.

In 1927, the school was turned over to the Territory of Hawaii and became known as Laie Elementary School.
