Hawaii Technology Academy is an innovative virtual school option, open initially to Oahu students in grades K-10 for the 2008-2009 school year. Hawaii Technology Academy will expand in future years to students across the state in grades K-12, giving them the opportunity to use technology and innovative online courses to complete their education. The Charter School Review Panel has reviewed our application and awarded a charter for the 2008-2009 school year!
