Get ready to dive in!
HPA will prepare you for college and so much more. Here, you’ll discover learning opportunities that exist only on Hawai‘i Island. You’ll dive into new experiences—from sea turtle research and astronomy atop Mauna Kea to musical theater, basketball games, and hiking in the magical Waipi‘o Valley.
Along the way, you’ll develop the academic skills, independence, and confidence that universities expect and that will serve you for years to come. Most of all, you’ll meet teachers and friends who will change your life forever. In Hawaiian, ‘ohana means “family,” and at HPA, you’ll become part of a campus community where we challenge, help, and celebrate each other.
