In elementary education, you have the power to ignite curiosity, spark innovation, and help every child discover their unique potential. The impact you make in K–6 classrooms ripples across a lifetime.

At Chaminade University, our Elementary Education program prepares you for this vital mission. Through small class sizes, individualized faculty mentorship, and a supportive community of peers, you’ll hone your teaching craft with expert guidance every step of the way.

We believe the best way to learn teaching is by doing it. Long before your student-teaching semester, you’ll gain invaluable hands-on classroom experience—observing, assisting, and building real-world confidence in active K–6 environments.

This is a non-licensure program; and for Chuuk students.
