Pacific Resources for
Education and Learning (PREL) is an independent, nonprofit
501(c)(3) corporation that serves the educational community
in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands, the continental United
States, and countries throughout the world. PREL bridges the
gap between research, theory, and practice in education and
works collaboratively with schools and school systems to provide
services that range from curriculum development to assessment
and evaluation.
| PREL's
Vision Statement
We envision a world where all children and communities
are literate and healthy—global participants,
grounded in and enriched by their cultures. |
At PREL, our business
is education. Our mission is to strengthen culture, increase
literacy, and improve quality of life locally, nationally,
and globally. These are our core beliefs:
- All children can
learn.
- It is essential
to educate the whole child.
- Education is a
dynamic partnership.
- Cultural diversity
is to be valued and promoted.
PREL's main office
is located in Honolulu, Hawaii, with service
centers in American Samoa,
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk,
Kosrae, Pohnpei,
and Yap), Guam,
the Republic of the Marshall
Islands, and the Republic
of Palau. The privilege and experience gained working
with the people and institutions in the Pacific
Service Region are treasured and invaluable.
PREL's programs
provide resources and products
developed to promote educational excellence for children,
youth, and adults, particularly in multicultural and multilingual
environments. Besides its personnel,
PREL's most important asset is its established partnerships
and networks designed to meet the educational needs of governments,
communities, and business.
