- As the Pacific region’s leading boarding and day school, Hawai’i Preparatory Academy, an independent, co-educational school, provides students in grades K-12 (plus Post-Graduate) offers a full range of academic and extra-curricular experiences in a small close-knit community. HPA’s commitment to academic excellence, coupled with its international student body and its location in Hawai’i, enables students to earn an unmatched global education while living in one of the world’s most amazing natural environments.
As part of our college-preparatory education, HPA provides a comprehensive college-counseling curriculum to help students and parents navigate the college application and selection process. As soon as students enter HPA they are exposed to the early steps of the college planning process: self-reflection, academic planning, standardized testing, goal setting and college research. Through providing essential support, guidance and resources, HPA endeavors to provide each student with the academic credentials to gain admittance into the nation’s most selective colleges and universities, as well as the personal maturity to select the college that will best fit them as they chart their own success in life.
