The Pacific Buddhist Academy is a private, co-educational college preparatory high school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The school’s stated mission is "To prepare students for college through academic excellence, enrich their lives with Buddhist values, and develop their courage to nurture peace."〔 Students of all beliefs and religious backgrounds are welcome; conversion to Buddhism is not part of the school’s mission. Founded in 2003,〔〔 the school is the only Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist high school in North America.〔 Pacific Buddhist Academy's first class of 14 students graduated in 2007; its total enrollment as of the 2013-2014 school year, in grades 9 through 12, is 71 students. The school won accreditation in 2009 from the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools〔〔 and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges〔〔 for a six-year-term through June 2015, with a mid-term visit in spring 2012. ==Affiliations== Pacific Buddhist Academy was founded with an initial $1.5 million endowment〔 from the Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist Church of Kyoto, Japan. The school also receives significant financial support from the temples and individual members of the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii, which operates Hongwanji Mission School, covering preschool through grade 8. Pacific Buddhist Academy and Hongwanji Mission School are affiliated academically, but the academy was founded as a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to allow for independent fundraising efforts. Team sports are conducted through the academy's membership in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pacific Buddhist Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
