At the start of the school year, many schools hold an Admissions Open House for the parents and students who are interested in learning more about a school before or during their application process. Families will get details about the curriculum and gain insight into the school atmosphere, students’ academic and extracurricular opportunities and the overall school culture. Hawaii Baptist Academy, a Christian school in Honolulu, that hosts an Admissions Open House twice a year, once in October and again in November. They have several reasons why they recommend parents and students interested in attending Hawaii Baptist Academy, should attend.

5 Reasons to Attend an Admissions Open House

1. Meet the Staff and Administrators

At every private Christian school, educators will decide how most of your child’s year goes. Meeting the school’s teachers will allow you to get a sense of not only what is taught, but how it is taught and by who. It’s also great to get to know the administrators and develop a feel for the school’s atmosphere, philosophy and culture. 

2. Learn About the Curriculum

During the open house, you can find out more about the courses taught. Hawaii Baptist Academy is a college preparatory school, so its curriculum will put your child on the path toward attending college.
