Pacific Buddhist Academy is a small yet close-knit community with diverse groups of people. The education they provide is excellent and recommend this school to many incoming students from smaller schools. There aren't many unique electives and workshops, although they are trying to work on the diversity of the classes. I think there could be more promotions on taiko since it is one of their more interesting and unique classes.

The academics were alright, however, it was very limited in what is offered. the community was very supportive all the way!

Pacific Buddhist Academy was able to open their doors to me when a previous school I applied for shut its doors before I could start my studies. Over the four years I was there I was introduced to a whole new world of learning and culture in the process. It also brought me out of my comfort zone and really introduced me to getting my hands dirty in the name of learning. By the end of my Four Years, I've learned so much and kept what was taught to help me later in life. I will never forget my time at the school and the friends I've made in the process.

I absolutely love this school and I am glad that I've made the decision to send both of my children here. They were previously enrolled in a public school and were considered the "middle" type of students. They were not recognized as the top students, nor were they disruptive to receive attention fr...

I cant say enough about how we much we love Pacific Buddhist Academy! The culture at PBA encourages and celebrates each students individuality. I have two very different kids at PBA, a son who’s somewhat of an introvert and a daughter who’s outgoing and a social butterfly. PBA has been able to bring...

I love this school for my daughter. She was previously at Punahou, and was a B+ student there, but while it is a good school, it was too big for her and a bit "left-brained." At PBA the education is more progressive and with the small class sizes, there is an enormous amount of teacher attention and...
