The Program

    There is scope and sequence planning done for each discipline to ensure students a smooth transition from level to level. The high school program includes advanced Placement instruction along with College Level course work.

The Students

    Island Pacific Academy seeks a student body that reflects the rich cultural diversity of Hawaii. In evaluating applications for admission, we strive to make a match between the school's program and mission and the student's aspirations and needs. Although IPA embraces a multi-sensory approach to teaching, it is not intended to accommodate children with special learning needs beyond basic accommodations fundamental to good teaching practice.

    Admissions decisions are based on several factors, including previous academic work, teacher recommendations, and age-appropriate assessments. Above all, we look for students who demonstrate eagerness to participate fully in an outstanding educational opportunity, and who embrace the qualities of personal integrity, responsibility, respect for others, and a desire to do one's best.

Our Commitment to Community

    At Island Pacific Academy we understand the importance of a campus community built on mutual respect and support. IPA is a place where people can exchange ideas in a collaborative and open environment.

    IPA is a part of the diversity that is Oahu, and we acknowledge the traditions of the diverse population of Hawaii in coursework and activities. Where possible and appropriate, IPA will seek to connect learning projects with the wider community in which we participate. Through community service and other programs, IPA seeks to cultivate a sense of citizenship beyond the campus and the individual self.

Governance and Non Profit Status

    Island Pacific Academy is governed by a Board of Trustees who share policy and fiduciary responsibility for the school. The Board hires the Headmaster who is directly responsible for the day to day operation of the school.

    IPA is recognized by the State of Hawaii and the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Charitable donations to IPA are fully tax-deductible.  

Accreditation

    IPA is accredited by The Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
