School Reviews
5 8/5/2021
I am so grateful my children had the opportunity to experience a school year at Maui Prep. We felt very welcome and the teachers exceeded all of my expectations during the year. They truly made being a new student special for our kids and we will always remember the warm aloha of all the faculty and staff. My children grew into more confident and joyful students throughout the academic year. We hope to come back to visit the Ohana at Maui Prep as it holds a very special place in our hearts.
