“;I believe that Mid-Pacific Institute is unique because we are a very technology-forward school. We have the only 'technology plaza' in Hawaii and one of only a handful in the country. Mid-Pacific's uniqueness also comes from its location. It's my belief that no other school in Hawaii could produce a more balanced mixture of setting and centrality.”;

The school also offers a lot of diversity, and you don't have to be afraid to be yourself. You don't have to be afraid to be different.”;
