Mid-Pacific Institute in Honolulu | Military Town Advisor

The teachers are mostly solid, except for a few, like any school. I am withdrawing my two students due to major concerns for violations of federal laws regarding the student privacy and student safety. I thought after the drowning of a student during school they would look out for the best of the students, but nothing changed. They have no policies in place to keep children safe. They told me in writing I can call the police myself if I have a concern about an individual.

My son is a student athlete at Mid Pacific and we've seen how the school and coaches work together with the students to create the best learning environment for them. I've also seen the same dynamic in the school of arts with the dance, theatre, hula, music, and art students working together with their other classes in order to pursue their strengths and passions. Mid Pacific's smaller class sizes really allow the teachers to get to know each student in order to help them succeed, whether that's moving them to an advanced class or taking the time to help them work through a learning difficulty. The staff there are very caring and highly qualified. It's been a great experience for us as a family over the past few years, we're planning to send all our kids there for middle-high school.

My child is creative and bright, and Mid-Pacific has nurtured and supported their learning journey. Participating in the certificate program at the School of the Arts has given them a sense of belonging and surrounded them with students who study at a pace and rigor that inspires them to work harder. If your child has a passion for the arts, this is the school for them. In a world drowning in technology, it's refreshing to find classes that step away from the screens and encourage a mind-body connection found in arts education.

Outside of the arts, my student has excelled in STEM courses, including advanced math. All the teachers know my student and take a vested interest in their success. Additionally, the school culture is supportive and accepting. There are the typical cliques - arts kids, sports kids, robotics kids, etc - but everyone coexists in harmony and supports others with a shared sense of school pride.

Midpacific has had a long standing issue about focusing it's efforts in making money. There are a plenty of deep systemic issues with the school that have gone unchecked. There are plenty of other schools private and public that are far superior than midpac and would not cost you an organ for your kids to attend.

The homework there is either way too easy or too confusing on purpose. The teachers like to make their homework confusing on purpose so they can make their students fail on purpose. The school teaches their students that narcissism and racism are ok. No leadership in the school is active (well barely at least). The school doesn't even care about whether there is bullying or not, they just care if they get their money from blind sheep who pay almost 20k for their students to go to school. In other words, the school doesn't do anything about the amount of cases of bullying there has been. If your child has a disorder or a learning difference, do not send your kid there. He/she will most likely bullied by Mid Pacific students that weren't taught good behavior sadly.

Everyone there is mean or doesn't know how to behave appropriately. The teachers don't even care for their students. They don't teach them respect or why bullying is bad. The kids there are just foolish and mean. The Dean doesn't support kids with disorders, but just neglects or laughs at them instead.

Everyone is kind and we are a team. We go through hardships of academic challenges together and by the time we graduate, we are fully prepared for the higher education.

We had a bully that picked on my child and I called the school right away. The principal called me within an hour and informed me that she will investigate and speak with all the children that was involved or witnessed it. She came back with her findings and spoke with each child. She then had them speak with their counselor separately and then together. They were able to sort their differences and help my son to realize what happened and why. It ended up being all a misunderstanding and they are now friends. She met with us and we were able to share our thoughts and she listened. We appreciated the support.

We have nothing but love for this school and we highly recommend this school. Of course, as a parent you have to recognize whether the curriculum, their beliefs and their teaching style will help your child and your family reach what goals you have in mind for him and basically that the school fits your child. We feel like part of a family here at Mid Pacific and love seeing all of the families as we grow with them for the next 10 years. We love the open lines of communication and the comfortable and relaxed feel when we go on campus. We are excited to see our child grow over the years because of what we have already seen in the years he has been there.

They emphasize having your child do their homework in school because they value family time at home for the child. They also encouraged our child to read and make his own personal decision to pick up a book when he has free time. We also love the fact that they encourage our child to do his homework in school so that they can enjoy activities or playing outside because they are completed with their responsibilities which is teaching them time management.

We have experienced the multi-age teaching and its phenomenal. It gives our child a feeling of accomplishment and responsibility when aiding another student. Our teachers have thoroughly explained to us the values that lie here in the multi-age teaching experience. We love that our teacher has such great communicative skills. We love that we get the same teacher for 2 years so they can really get to know our child and what makes him learn to give us valuable feedback during our conferences.

We have been watching our son develop over the years and find that we made the right decision sending him to Mid Pacific. He has a sense of responsibility and wants to be a respected person in our family and our community. By doing this, he has positive decision making that he knows can help everyone as a whole and not only himself. We have seen him mature and develop into a caring, concerning, and respectful child that cares about the community and its problems and wants to help. Truly impressed with his desire to help the elderly, clean rubbish in our parks, and feed the homeless.

At every event to every morning, you can see our principal opening doors to the cars to greet our children in elementary school. She is always speaking and traveling around speaking with the parents. Her personality and her devotion is apparent in day to day activities as we grow through the years together. She personally wants to get to know each and every student and knows all the childrens names. We love seeing her participation in all the events and is a great role model for our young girls as a leader.

We have no personal experiences with this area however we know families that have children with learning differences at the school. They have nothing but great things to say about the teachers and staff. They are so accommodating to the child that have special requirements but do not make them feel like they are different at all. I noticed also that they wisely teach the other children compassion and understanding that other children have difficulties that can make school much harder for them then others and if they can lend a helping hand that would be admirable.

iPads are utilized and various apps are used to keep the curriculum interesting and the learning fresh. In middle school, more work is done in school, rather than to take homework home, so that students are able to enjoy sports, extra curricular and community service more. In high school, the courses intensifies and students are introduced to MPX, AP & IB classes. Students continue to work in groups to collaborate and work together to complete projects and solve problems, as to experience what it is like in the real workforce.

Teachers and faculty work alongside students and generate enthusiasm for learning. Teachers are excited about the subjects that are taught in the classroom, hence students become excited about learning also.

Posted: November 30, 2017

The Honor of My School is Mine is the motto that all student pride themselves in. Absolutely, students that attend Mid Pacific have strong morals and values, which makes their character strong and sound.

Posted: November 30, 2017

Dr. Turnbull is the head of the school, and each and every principals of the high school, middle school as well as elementary campus are all on the same page when it comes to the goals and objectives for the students of our school. The leadership at the top is strong and so, the principals at each level communicates that to their department, teachers and students, so that everyone is making advancements towards the same goals. Due to the strong leadership, students of Mid Pacific excel in the work they do and this propels them to be outstanding amongst their peers from other schools.

Very positive, family oriented and the best environment to study in. Parents must make an equal investment in the school as well as the students. As parents, if you take the time to interact with the teachers, faculty and volunteer your time, the experience that your child gains, is that much more. We love Mid Pacific and so does our children.

I will be back to write a very detailed review...of course this is my opinion.

Posted: August 7, 2014

I think that mid pacific is a very great school for all ages. It has great education and very nice principals and deans. I recommend this school for many other students because it makes you cooperate with other people and work as a team.

Posted: January 23, 2014

I would fire the middle school dean...she isn`t doing her job. There is no accountability. There are teachers that don't teach and hold the students accountable for the work. It's like going to a very expensive public school. It's sad when your child tells you she had better teachers in public school than at Mid Pack.

This is school is under rated in comparison to the one down the street. Our daughter attended this magnificent school for two years before moving to mainland the teaching is unparalleled. The caring teachers and the philosophy of the whole child approach through discovery learning is superb. This school is warm, friendly and helpful - no uppity parents here!! Tuition is up there with the rest of them...we chose MID PACIFIC over another prestigious school because of the atmosphere on campus. You have to decide what feels right and MPI was for our family! The Principal - Mrs. Hussey greets the kids in the mornings as they get dropped off in the circle. Go OWL!!

Great school! Wonderful teachers & staff with great parent involvement. My daughter loves it here. The students are introduced to technology, arts, character education and other outstanding opportunities. When I drop her off each morning, I feel assured that she will be looked after, taken care of by everyone and educated with patience, love and to the utmost of her abilities.

My son is 7th grade. If your son does not understand English, MPI is not good for your son.
