Hawaii Academy of Arts & Science Public Charter School

My son started here when it was fairly new. In the four years he attend until his graduation it grew substantially. Although it has been a few years since his graduation, and I no longer live in Hawaii to see what the school has become, I can say it was a once in a life time experience for him. My son still lives in Hawaii and still has great friends he made here. I am grateful we had a chance to send him to this school rather than a public one if only because of the more one on one experience. We had a chance to get to know the teachers and principle on a personal level and my son always enjoyed going to school. I couldn't have asked for a better four year experience for him and I'm happy to write a review for them. Hawaii in itself is unique and the Hawaii Academy of Arts & Science is a school that provides a one of a kind learning experience found no where else in the states. I am happy my son was able to attend and I hope your child has a chance to as well. I highly encourage you to consider them.

HAAS provides a well rounded education that focuses on the diversity of the learner. It has small class sizes and teachers/supporters that are willing to go the extra 10 miles for the students and the community.

Before moving to Hawaii, our #1 priority was finding the best school for our son, & we found it with HAAS. The teachers truly care and are invested in seeing the children succeed and grow at their own pace with love and encouragement. We are really blessed that we found them!

Haas offers a lot of variety to its students from on campus programs, to a variety of local neighborhood options, to homeschool, and even online program. I appreciate the close relationship the students have with their teachers.

HAAS is innovative and student oriented. They have been progressive and taken on the system to become one of Hawaii's top charter schools. They embrace the home-schoolers and small community groups under their umbrella. They also encourage students and their expression of talent with regular parent evenings filled with performances.

HAAS is a small, but growing community. The social life is that of a close knit family. Parent support is stronger than at any school I have belonged to. The energy of the school is friendly, talented, and the opportunities to express are available to every student in their twice yearly 'Performance Fair.' The turn out of parents and community members is always big. This is a great school that is very community based and promotes progressive learning.

This is a pretty good school but what really bothers me is their lack of after-school programs and extracurricular activities.

The students individuality is encouraged. The school also encourages community service and leads by example. The campus is friendly, no violence is tolerated. The teachers avail themselves to tutoring to help all students succede
