Honolulu English School is in Waikiki, 30 minutes by public transport from Honolulu city centre, on the third biggest island in Hawaii.

The word “aloha” is a greeting term in Hawaii, but the spirit behind it is far more than a simple word. The term transmits a mutual respect and extends a warmth and sincerity between the two people and this is very much present in the ambiance at Honolulu English School. There is a strong emphasis on English only and the school is proud to say that for the majority of the adult courses there is less than 50% mix of the same nationality. Honolulu English School nests in a tall modern building with its bright classrooms overlooking the ocean and mountains. Other facilities available are a large lounge, a computer area, and high speed Wi-Fi throughout - plus a drinks counter.
There is a wide variety of daily activities organised at the school for students to be able to mix with their peers and practise English in a safe environment. There is a broad variety and intensity of courses available, and it is possible to specialise in different areas such as business, conversation, Cambridge Exams, TOEFL Exam and TOEIC exam. There are day programmes designed for junior students, and these are divided into two age categories; Teen STEP for those aged 13 to 16 years and kids STEP for 6 to 12 year olds. These programmes include daily group trips, activities, course material and lunch. At Honolulu English School you can combine a Junior Programme or an IEP programme with weekly lessons mixed with a popular Hawaiian activity including surfing, hula, playing the Ukulele, or stand-up paddle.
- The language school Honolulu English School was founded in Honolulu, USA in 1984.
