At Kapolei High School, we believe every student deserves an education tailored to their unique needs and goals. Our school’s smaller learning communities, known as academies, are essentially "schools within schools" designed to focus on specific career paths. These academies allow students to explore fields of interest, gaining relevant skills and knowledge, which helps them discover their strengths and interests. Each academy fosters a supportive community of like-minded peers, creating a collaborative environment that boosts motivation and engagement in learning, provides a personalized and enriching experience, and prepares students for college or careers after high school.
The Academies of Kapolei High School are built upon Career and Technical Education Career Pathways, with each academy's curriculum structured around specific Career Pathway Programs of Study. Through our engaging interdisciplinary curriculum, students develop critical 21st-century skills while exploring a career theme. This approach helps them see the relevance of their coursework in real-world scenarios.
