  About Maui Prep’s School Goals and Purposes:
  The Maui Preparatory Academy program serves the needs, interests, and abilities of children in grades Preschool–12 whose educational goals include college-level academic work. The program is designed for students who seek a challenging learning environment with behavioral expectations at the same challenging level. The school provides a structured transition through the period of physical, emotional, and intellectual development between childhood and adolescence.

  Maui Prep’s program serves the dual role of preparation for the immediate and well-defined future of the next grade and the largely unknown years to come. We attempt to include in our offerings experiences that help individuals accept changes in themselves and others. As a result, academic development and personal  development go hand-in- hand as equal partners.
