The Summer Session at Hawaii Preparatory Academy offers academic enrichment and unique study opportunities for 120 boarding students and a limited number of day students entering grades 6 through 12. The 2001 program is scheduled for June 19-July 20 and enrolls girls and boys from throughout the world. Students attend classes Monday through Saturday morning. The wide variety of courses offered allows the students to either strengthen their existing skills in language, math, and science, or to explore new areas of interest.
Students register for four classes.
Morning classes are two hours long, and afternoon classes are one hour in length. ESL students work in small groups with their teachers and student aides to develop greater English language fluency. SAT Test preparation courses are also offered during the Summer Session. Wednesday excursions to culturally or scientifically rich sites, such as Volcanoes National Park, break up the academic week. Weekend activities, planned according to student interest, include ocean kayaking, snorkeling, camping, hiking trips, movies, shopping, and more.
