STEP 3: INFO FROM SCHOOL
Have your current school submit the following documents to Hanalani:
STEP 4: INTERVIEW
Once the Admissions Office has received all documents, forms and fees, a Hanalani representative will contact you to schedule a student interview.
  • If the parent(s) and student are on Oahu, the interview will be conducted in person at Hanalani Schools' campus.
  • For parent(s) and students not located on Oahu, a representative from Hanalani Schools will conduct the interview through an online video conference service (such as Skype).
The interview will be conducted to assist the school in determining the following:
  1. The parents' support for school policies and procedures that will hold the student accountable.
  2. The student's fluency in speaking English. An applicant requesting admission to the high school program (grades 9-12) must be proficient in technical English before acceptance will be considered. 
STEP 5: DECISION 
After the review is completed, all records, forms, and a summary of the interview will be submitted to the respective Hanalani Schools administrator for review. If the applicant meets all of the Hanalani Schools admissions requirements, the Admissions Office will notify the parent(s)/agent that the student has been accepted. A $400 deposit must be received before Hanalani Schools initiates the process to obtain an I-20.

STEP 6: I-20
Hanalani is able to issue the I-20 form after all steps of the admissions process are complete. Parent/Student would then make an appointment for an interview with the American Embassy in their home country. The Embassy will issue the F-1 Visa.
