Hawaiʻi Public School Transfer Plan
Supervised by: Yamahi (Owner, Academia Language School)
- We handle the paperwork for transferring into public schools in Hawaiʻi (elementary, middle, and high school). For children ages 5 to 17.
- There are two plans: Simple $1,100 and Standard $1,890 (tax included).

Fees include tax and are in U.S. dollars. Rent and the Housing Support fee are separate.
School district and area suggestions (Standard): We suggest areas to live based on your child’s school and the commute (included in the plan fee). Help with searching for a rental, going with you to viewings, and the application and lease paperwork is available through our Housing Support (half of one month’s rent; one month’s rent if you apply from outside the U.S.). You can apply even if you are not studying at Academia.
How the service works
How school districts are decided and which documents you need for enrollment are explained in Hawaiʻi Public Schools: How Enrollment Works.
Additional fees and notes
- Please submit documents by the deadline. Late documents may delay your child’s enrollment.
- You will need a mobile phone that works in Hawaiʻi. We can also tell you about low-cost SIM cards.
