Location: Global Village (GV) Hawaii Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu's south shore, in Honolulu, Hawaii's capital city. The school is housed in the heart of Honolulu and is within walking distance of the Ala Moana Beach Park and Magic Island Lagoon. A favourite with locals, this is a great place to go walking, swimming, surfing, people watching, or picnicking. Another exciting attraction is Ala Moana Shopping Center, which is just across the street from Global Village Hawaii. The Center has three food courts, lots of world-class shopping and the main bus terminal to get students easily around town.

Course selection: GV Hawaii provides courses suitable to students of all levels and various ages, with many programmes tailored to include activities that are available locally. Such English plus programmes can include activities such as ukulele, surfing, yoga, fitness and hula! Exam preparation courses are also readily available throughout the year (FCE, CAE), as are Academic programmes (semester/year) and various junior and family courses. English Pro programmes are also available, combining group and private lessons to give students the benefits of both formats of lessons.

Organised activities: The school has a well selected social calendar for students to attend. These are generally planned in three month schedules, with sample calendars available for you to review. A list of potential activities include ukulele lessons, surf lessons, swimming with dolphins, hula lessons, shark cage diving, hiking and many more options.

"course for teenagers at a very low level. A teenager who knows the language just gets bored there. Unfortunately there are no alternative groups. Not recommended for people with good knowledge of the language. Classes are also only in the afternoons."

Student reviews about "English + Surfing 20" at Global Village Hawaii
Vera 4.0
"I didn't like the fact that we repeated some stuff during lessons only because we changed teacher. I had a teacher who wasn't really motivated an I didn't learn much. On the other hand I had one that was really good and brought up really interesting topics! Fortunately he was there! "

Quality of teaching / language progress: course for teenagers at a very low level. A teenager who knows the language just gets bored there. Unfortunately there are no alternative groups. Not recommended for people with good knowledge of the language. Classes are also only in the afternoons.Other comments: Children's course - activities from 9.00-10.00 and lessons after 13.00. A parent who knows English well and is qualified for the better group has lessons in the morning from 8.00. i.e. if a parent has lessons in the morning and the child does not go to the activity then there is a problem. The parent can only choose the lower group.

How is the Parent & Child programme structured?
“Parents attend the General English 20 course and the child attends the Cambridge Young Learners of English (YLE) course and activities. Parents will receive General English classes while the child attends YLE classes (2025). ”
Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 18, 2025
Knowing that the families are about an hour from the school, even if lessons are in the morning, will the buses have started to run?
“Yes, the bus service usually starts relatively early. After a quick search, I was able to find that Public transportation in Hawaii depends on the island and the type of transportation you use. On the island of Oahu, for example, the city bus service, called TheBus, usually starts running at around 4:00 on weekdays and around 5.30 at weekends. However, timetables can vary, but the school will confirm all this information to us when we make the booking (especially when we receive the host family's details, which are usually only sent out a week before the departure date).
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 22, 2024
Can I arrive at the host family on the weekend before the course starts?
“Yes, arrivals are always on the Saturday before the course starts. ”
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 22, 2024
I'm interested in the General English Programme. Can I have morning lessons?
“Lessons can be scheduled in the morning or in the afternoons. Students are given the schedule on the first day after the placement test. The school can't guarantee lessons in the morning. ”
Eric Lum, Admissions Officer from Global Village Hawaii - Apr 17, 2024
Which countries are students of Global Village Hawaii from?
“The highest Nationality percentage at Global Village Hawaii comes from Japan with a 34% representation, followed by students from Switzerland (27%) and Korea (10%).”
