School Notes
- Asia Pacific International School (APIS) is a private, nonprofit school, fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
- APIS is not the first school to recognize the importance of global mission and vision in education. While almost all schools teach about matters beyond their boundaries, most schools do not operate in any meaningful way outside of them to provide an authentic, contextually global educational experience. APIS is different.
- Moving away from the traditional educational paradigm, APIS has created a global network of campuses under one school - our East Asia campus in Seoul, Korea, and our campus of the West in North Shore (Hauula), Hawaii - offering a unique educational opportunity to draw from the advantages of both the East and the West. Imagine the possibilities!
- At the same time, each campus will have its own curricular specializations and emphases. For example, our 97-acre APIS Hawaii campus, nestled against an emerald mountain backdrop and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is a residential boarding school serving middle and high school students (grades 5-12).
- This campus will feature the "New Pacific Century Academy (NPC Academy)," an innovative, student-directed, educational program, which will serve as our center of project-based, experiential, and service learning.
- APIS is committed to a small class size and a low faculty to student ratio.
- Currently, 100 percent of our graduates go on to four-year colleges and universities, matriculating from top institutions such as Stanford, Cornell, Darthmouth, Yale, U Penn, Wash U, NYU, Williams, RISD and Duke.
- Finally, APIS is a Christ-centered school. APIS` religious affiliation is non-denominational Christian and welcomes students from all religious and cultural backgrounds.
