The plan is submitted to the state and the BOE will issue a charter or have a group rewrite and resubmit. The high school is to be located north of the Maui Research and Technology Park. It is for all students in grades 9 - 12 that live in South Maui. As space is available, other students will be admitted on geographic exception. The school is built with a high technology environment.
Technology is a tool for learning and for creative work, in support of all disciplines.
Two educational concepts at the basis of planning for the school help to explain its direction. First, students will work with planning teams throughout their careers, and these teams will develop mentor relationships between students and members of their planning teams. Each staff mentor will have no more than 25 students to mentor. Second, the dominant instructional model is one that emphasizes students working on projects that produce measurable products. All the subjects will be taught, but not necessarily as separate subjects.
