Ohana Preparatory School opens in Fall 2027, welcoming an inaugural class of 9th and 10th graders as it expands into a full 9th–12th grade high school.
Located inside the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA), Ohana Prep breaks the traditional high school mold. Our campus places students at the intersection of industry innovation, high-end design, and professional creativity, offering an inspiring, real-world launchpad where learning comes alive every single day.
As a premier campus within the expanding Kaplan Academy ecosystem, we offer a blend of innovative digital tools integrated seamlessly into regular schedules, co-curricular activities, and self-directed modules. Our scholars have access to comprehensive ACT®, SAT®, and AP® test preparation, paired with tailored university guidance via KapAdvisor™ to curate compelling profiles for selective colleges.
Your child doesn't just read about a concept, they apply it: designing, building, testing, and presenting real projects alongside teachers and, where possible, working professionals near our campus.
Guest speakers, site tours, mentorships, and internships connect classroom learning directly to real careers, building employer connections and service hours along the way.
With an 8 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio and a faculty advisor who follows your child year after year, we ensure every student is known, supported, and challenged as an individual.
Backed by Kaplan’s education expertise in ACT, SAT, and AP preparation, and personalized college guidance, Ohana Prep builds on the project-based learning model established in 2011 at Ohana Institute, located in Inlet Beach, FL.
