Mid-Pacific Institute is a private, co-educational college preparatory school for grades Pre-K and K-12, offering programs of study in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and the Mid-Pacific School of the Arts (MPSA). Mid-Pacific Institute is located on 34 acres in M?noa Valley, near the University of Hawaii, close to downtown Honolulu. The college was established through the 1908 merger of Kawaiahao Seminary for Girls, founded in 1864, and Mills Institute for Boys, founded in 1892. Then Epiphany School came with Mid-Pacific Institute on 2003-2004. Students have the ability to participate in a number of programs, including IB, MPSA (a school of the arts, which requires for students to take anywhere from 2 to 4 classes a day on the arts), along with a variety of sports.
