Myron B. Thompson Academy, commonly referred to as Thompson Academy, is an e-learning institution operating as a "New Century Public Charter School" under the Hawaii Department of Education. Thompson Academy is the result of a white paper study developed by the school's principal, Diana Oshiro, detailing the feasibility of a school delivered over the internet. Established in 1999 as Hawaii e-Charter, Thompson Academy is available to students across the state of Hawaii exclusively through the internet, as an alternative-of-choice to local schools. The school is currently accredited for a six year period by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, through 2011.

Early beginnings

The concept for Thompson Academy predates the inception of Hawaii's E-School system. In 1994, state Assistant Superintendent Diana Oshiro began writing a white paper discussing the use of the internet as a medium to deliver courses. This white paper later went on to win a five year grant from the US Department of Education and became what is now known as the Hawaii E-School system, the collaboration between the Hawaii Department of Education and US Department of Education to create, test and provide supplemental courses over the internet.

E-School was largely considered a success in delivering courses.
