Application for Admission

Tell us about your child as a learner.

We're honored that you're considering Ohana Institute for your family. The application is designed to help us get to know your child as a learner and as an individual. There are no right answers; we simply want to learn more about your family.

Before you begin

The online application takes about 20 to 30 minutes and runs in nine short steps: student information, parents and guardians, school history, learning profile, health, and a few questions about what you hope Ohana will be for your child. Please have these available:

  • Birth certificate
  • Immunization records
  • Most recent report card
  • School records, if applicable
  • IEP or 504 documentation, if applicable

The $350 application fee is paid when you submit. Once your application is accepted, a $3,000 tuition deposit per student holds the place and is applied toward tuition.

What happens next

  1. We review the application

    Our admissions team reads every application and may call with a question or two.

  2. Your child shadows for a day

    Prospective students are paired with a current Ohana student and attend a full school day to experience daily life on campus.

  3. Acceptance and deposit

    Accepted families pay the tuition deposit, choose a payment plan, and, if using Step Up For Students, send us the award document so we can issue a revised schedule.

See it for yourself.

Most parents tell us the difference is something they could only feel once they were standing in our halls. Come walk the campus on a school day, meet the teachers, and get a clear, no-pressure picture of whether Ohana is the right fit for your child.
