student testimonials
97% of students recommend IIE Hawaii
One of the things I liked most about IIE Hawaii was that I couldn't speak Portuguese, so I was always encouraged to practice my English. Also, every day there were some different dynamics such as games and discussions about different topics, so if you don't know enough vocabulary, that's when you learn. It was perfect.

The best thing about IIE Hawaii for me was the many great outdoor school activities and the IIE resources. Being part of IIE allowed me to take advantage of meeting people from all around the world. IIE is located in Waikiki, the heart of Honolulu, a beautiful, clean, and safe place to study and experience American and Hawaiian culture.
