Company Profile

Maui Preparatory Academy is an independent college preparatory school for day students in preschool through 8th grade, and for day and boarding students in 9th-12th grade. Maui Prep’s plantation-style campus is nestled among former pineapple fields and majestic Norfolk pines approximately ten miles north of Lahaina.

Within the stunning backdrop of mountains and sea, tropical rainforests, sandy beaches, and ocean reefs, Maui Prep provides its students with an incredibly special and rewarding environment for learning. Inspired by Aloha, Maui Prep’s mission is to to challenge our students to think critically, to give of themselves generously, to collaborate honestly and selflessly, and to commit to improving the world in which we live.

In addition to a rigorous academic life, students participate in interscholastic athletics, various clubs and organizations, and in a number of special programs and events throughout the school year.

Interscholastic athletics and “lifetime” sports are a vital part of the Maui Prep experience. Students participate on the following interscholastic sports teams: basketball, cross country, volleyball, paddling, swimming, surfing, tennis, track & field, and golf.

Maui Prep embraces the value of community service, both within the school ‘ohana (family) and in the greater community as well. Students are encouraged to find an area of need about which they feel passionate, and engage in service projects as a means of giving back to the community that has supported them in so many ways.
