Hawai'i Technology Academy (HTA) is definintally one of the best quality and convenient K-12 schools in Hawai'i. Students only go to school 2 times a week and the rest is online allowing kids with all sorts of scheduals the flexibility they need while getting a great education. The teachers at HTA are the best at what they do, and it is very easy for students and Learning Coaches to communicate with them. HTA has a lot of partnerships with a variety of organizations to provide quality hands on learning for students to get them thinking about and to pave the way to college amd careers paths they might be interested in. If students don't have a computer to work from at home that's okay! HTA offers loaner computers for the whole school year!
Hawaii Technology is a school of excellence, it allows students to have a schedule that is very similar to a college experience. Students meet twice a week physically in the school, with one virtual learning day, and two individual work days. This type of schooling gives more freedom to move at an individual pace and get plenty of help and support from teachers when needed. I haven't had a single teacher that's given me problems or made obstacles difficult for me, this is reflective of the enriched environment in which HTA maintains. I highly recommend this school for athletes who would like to be able to endeavor more in independent training. This school has a variety of resources and everyone there truly cares about you and your learning!
My home-town school experienced a large turnover of teachers and students in the last few years, of which I was a part of. A sizable group of students from my school moved to HTA, which was an amazing change for me. At HTA I feel like teachers are really genuinely interested and willing to invest in the individual students. There are so many opportunities and outlets, teachers and counselors work to open up for and empower their students with and it really is awe inspiring. HTA has been such a positive influence on me. I was very upset about the detrimental behavior in my community school for a while but I learned to look at it differently - by being a part of an alternative school I hope I'm contributing to a change, to a move. I hope more schools will evolve into student-empowering, student-based/driven and education-passionate systems.
