Hawai'i Preparatory Academy (HPA) is a private, coeducational, day and international boarding school located in Kamuela, Hawaii, on the island of Hawaiʻi. Founded in 1949, the school serves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 and operates lower, middle, and upper school divisions.
The town is commonly known as Waimea; however, the name Kamuela is used by the United States Postal Service to distinguish it from other locations with the same name.
