‘Ohana Setting
We’re probably best known for the feeling of ‘ohana (family) among students, faculty, and staff. Our classes are small, with a student to faculty ratio of 15 to 1. This means more personalized attention, greater opportunities for hands-on learning, and more interaction with classmates.
