Welcome from Admissions

Aloha! Thank you for your interest in Island Pacific Academy. Choosing a school can be an exciting process, and we look forward to helping you to discover all that Island Pacific Academy has to offer.

The information posted to the admission pages will answer many of your initial questions about the school and the admission process. We also welcome you to schedule a personalized tour of our campus while school is in session.

As West Oahu’s largest independent, accredited, coeducational school, Island Pacific Academy will enroll 680 students in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12 in the 2011-2012 school year. The school offers an enriched and stimulating college preparatory program and personalized attention taught in a nurturing environment. IPA graduates attend colleges and universities across the country and around the world.

“Small class sizes make learning accessible and emphasize knowing how to learn. We promote important life skills, such as critical thinking and problem-solving, but within a values-based context,” shares Headmaster Dr. Daniel White. “Our goal is to graduate students whose performance matches their abilities, whose curiosity and creativity burn bright, and whose values reflect the virtues of human kindness and generosity of spirit.”

Located in Kapolei on a modern campus with state-of-the-art classrooms and facilities,IPA attracts students from diverse backgrounds. Students benefit from a challenging academic curriculum and are able to explore their unique talents and interests through a wide array of choices in the arts, music, technology, athletics, student activities, and community service.

The admission process is designed to get to know each family and applicant well. To this end, the Admission Committee considers each individual’s personal strengths and abilities based on a review of the student’s academic record, admission testing results, teacher references, and interview. We seek to enroll students who will find academic and personal success in IPA’s program, who demonstrate respect and kindness toward others, and who are eager to contribute positively to the school community.

While applying to an independent school may seem overwhelming at first, we are here to ensure that the admission process is as smooth and as stress-free as possible. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a campus tour, please contact the Admission Office at 808-674-3563. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Sincerely,

Megan Meyer
