KAUAI
WHAT MAKES HTA LĪHU‘E AWESOME
THE HANDS-ON PROJECTS
Kaua‘i students learn about physics while building and racing mouse-trap cars or parachuting eggs to safety. They design and iterate in our Makerspace. They visit important and historic sites on Kaua‘i and O‘ahu. They master micropipettes and separate DNA via gel electrophoresis. They insert glowing proteins into bacteria. We learn best by doing.
FIELD STUDIES
Our students are regularly spotted in the field studying ecosystems specific to Kōke‘e and marine estuaries, visiting cultural sites and the Kaua‘i Museum, learning about electricity at KIUC, investigating coral reefs at ‘Anini, learning about sustainable farming practices, and more. This builds connections between classroom learning and the real world.
Our middle school pbHTA program takes this a step further as students spend more time working out at our community partner sites.
STUDENT SUPPORT
Our blended schedule gives teachers the time to support each student whether they need some extra help or an extra challenge.
There may be times when students are required to attend support sessions. For middle school students, this is during Momentum Lab on Mondays. For high school, this is during virtual office hours on Fridays.
A CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY
We are proud of our positive, inviting, inclusive culture. Our small size and blended model allow us to truly focus on our students’ social and emotional development.
In the School Quality Survey (SY 23-24), 92 percent of HTA parents and teachers reported a positive and safe school culture.
From middle school activity nights to high school prom, we like to have fun. We enjoy movie and game nights, spirit weeks, school dances, a boo-ti-ful Halloween celebration, and loads of senior year celebrations.
MORE THAN A PARENT.A LEARNING COACH
One of the key differences in the HTA model is the close relationship between family and school. All HTA students must have a Learning Coach. This is typically a parent or guardian, but can be another designated adult.
A highlight at the end of each semester, is when our students lead a conference with their Learning Coaches and advisor. These conferences are great practice for future job interviews. Students are encouraged to dress for the role as they share what they have achieved and reflect on their progress.
A QUALITY EDUCATION
CAREER-BASED LEARNING
Our innovative Career-Based Learning program allows high school students to gain skills and experience out in the real world while earning credit.
