Academics
On Hawai‘i Island, you will discover vital ecosystems and amazing geography; 11 of the planet’s 13 climate zones; a native Hawaiian culture dating back thousands of years; and a multi-national island society. Through all of these resources and more, we create learning opportunities found nowhere else on earth, such as Marine Biology, Forensics, Robotics, and Astronomy. They also offer core subjects for non-native speakers, such as English Language Instruction and Creative Writer’s Toolbox.
Campus Life
From the moment you step on campus, you will feel accepted and appreciated in their safe and welcoming environment where everyone “lives aloha.” Together, their students, teachers, and staff create a diverse, international community. HPA also offers afternoon sports such as tennis, horseback riding, and intramural sports that include flag football, ultimate frisbee, basketball, soccer, swimming, volleyball, hiking, kickball, and softball.
“The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.”
