At Mid-Pacific, we see children with original ideas and perspectives, with dreams, aspirations, emotions, and insights. We see students who celebrate these many characteristics and interests... and define who they are and how they learn. Faculty, administration, and staff are key components in this equation.

The Mid-Pacific faculty and staff recognize that the world has become a comprehensive and complex network of ideas and systems, forged by an interdependent global economy and ubiquitous technology. They also recognize that in order to prepare our children for a rapidly changing world, they must reflect specific skills and practices required for this century: An ethical approach to collaboration and communication, critical thinking and problem solving, and assessing and analyzing information. These necessary skills are equally matched by the need to adopt creativity and imagination, entrepreneurship, and cross-cultural approaches to our everyday interactions. By combining these essential elements within our exceptional learning environment, the exceptional faculty and staff at Mid-Pacific help our students realize their full potential as innovators, artists, and individuals.

Innovators
Mid-Pacific is a school with a rich history of innovation, focused on what our students are learning as well as how they learn. We live in a world of evolving technology; our faculty embraces this evolving platform. The Mid-Pacific classroom is an environment where learning is fun and engaging; where students are challenged to question, inquire, and imagine.

Artists
Mid-Pacific is a school with a reputation as Hawaii's leader in arts education. Artistic exploration begins in revealing one's innate talent and perfecting one's craft; this process is an art form in itself. From athletics to visual arts, Mid-Pacific provides coaches and faculty--top experts in their fields--with the support to ensure each individual student pushes their limits to their best of their abilities in a safe and nurturing environment. By teaching our students to be artists, the world becomes their canvas of unlimited creation and exploration.

Individuals
If we were all the same, the world would be monochromatic and simply uninteresting! Mid-Pacific cultivates students and employees to be an eclectic group of educated, caring individuals. We are proud of our diverse mix of students and faculty from countries that span the globe. We nurture each student to be who they are--to explore and develop their unique pursuits--and to express their own opinions and ideas. Mid-Pacific employees and students are bold and unique individuals.
