HAPA: Hmong American Peace Academy

Hmong American Peace Academy, or HAPA, provides scholars with rigorous academics, character development, and Hmong cultural values, preparing them to excel in colleges, universities and careers.  

HAPA scholars enjoy college and career success, value Hmong cultural heritage, and exhibit responsible and peaceful leadership in local and global communities.

Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, HAPA is a K4-12th-grade charter school. About 90% of the scholars are Hmong-American, but the school is a public charter (read: no tuition!) and open to all.
