Full-Time InstructionKosasa Academy provides a full academic program to a growing number of students who need a different way or place to learn. Programs are custom designed to meet each student’s needs.
Call Mrs. Kosasa at (808) 258-3951 to discuss your child’s unique needs. Partial programs are also available for those students who attend school or homeschool part time.
Admissions Rolling Admissions Although it is advantageous for students to begin their attendance at KA at the beginning of the school year, applications are accepted throughout the calendar year. Requirements for Admission All prospective students must have a current neuropsychological evaluation. Mrs. Kosasa is happy to refer students to qualified examiners if necessary. Students must have a release from their former schools before beginning full time group instruction. Admissions Process The Kosasa Academy’s admissions process has two purposes. Firstly, to determine if KA is able to meet the educational and psycho-social needs of the student and secondly, to determine the precise educational program (including instructors) necessary to assure the success of the student. Admissions Process Steps 1. Parent submits neuropsychological evaluations to KA. If the student does not have a recent evaluation (within three years) Mrs. Kosasa will refer the student to a qualified examiner. 2. Student and parents meet individually and as a group with Mrs. Kosasa. A school tour will be provided at this time. 3. If the student’s parents and Mrs. Kosasa agree that KA is likely to meet the student’s needs, the parent(s): a. Provide KA with all school documents such as grade cards and progress reports. b. Provide consent for Mrs. Kosasa to communicate with all professionals (teachers, administrators, therapists, medical doctors) working with the child currently or in the past six years. c. Parents may apply for financial aid through FACTS. 4. The prospective student simultaneously begins individual placement testing and instruction. Individual instruction allows KA teachers to discover first hand how the student learns best and the teachers with whom the student is most comfortable. 5. When the administrative research is completed, Mrs. Kosasa meets with the parents to discuss the proposed educational plan and tuition. 6. If the parents accept this proposal, the student segues into group instruction at their own pace. This process can take from three days to three months. Tuition Generous tuition assistance is available to all students. Full price tuition per year is $90,000; however, tuition scholarships are available based on the child's needs and the parent's ability to pay. With scholarships, tuition per year generally ranges between $10,000 - $35,000. Transcripts

"My son has been going to Kosasa Academy in Kailua since February for reading. It's now May and his improvement is dramatic. He also loves going. We were considering stopping at the end of the school year but he wants to continue, and honestly we were both a little sad about stopping. He's made a great connection with his tutor. I highly recommend Kosasa Academy."
