Maui Prep has a high-quality academic program that offers the tools to help students learn and grow. Caring for one another is valued as much as the academics; creating a friendly environment for all students and staff.

We love Maui Prep's offers innovative & well-rounded programs. Families are personally invited to have an active part in creating the best learning environment possible for all the children. Maui Prep is more than a school. Maui Prep raises the bar in promoting an enriched educational community that brings out the very best in every child. We are very impressed with their genuine concern and friendliness.

Maui Preparatory Academy is a great school because the teacheres truly care about their students. It's more than 'just their job' to teach, but they love what they do- and it shows in their passion for teaching, as well as in the morale of the entire school (teachers, students, faculty, and parents). It really is an 'ohana' (fanily).

We love Maui Prep! It is an extension of our family. We feel so blessed that when our child is not at home, he is with teachers who love him in a safe, beautiful environment. Our child is nurtured and made to feel special. The top notch education is a bonus! Maui Prep is the best!

Maui Preparatory Academy is an independent school founded by parents for their children that focuses on the student as an individual and also as a member of a community which we call 'ohana'. As the performing arts teacher, I am truly amazed at what our small school has accomplished in the short time since its inception by producing a total of over 7 fully staged musical productions, 9 Arts Nights, winning 3rd place in an island-wide song competition on our first try, and simply instilling the joy of performing in my students on a daily basis.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
