TEQlease Capital said it has provided Hawaii Technology Academy (HTA), an online technology K-12 charter school based in Waipahu, HI, with lease financing for desktop computers and laptops for the entire student body.

“In today’s world, the Hawaii Technology Academy believes it is crucial for our school to meet the needs of each and every student by working in close partnership with each teacher and each parent to ensure all students have the flexibility they need to learn and succeed at their own pace,” said Jeff Piontek, head of school for HTA. “With the lease financing provided by TEQlease Capital, we are pleased that we can now provide every student in our school with the technology they need as well as equip our faculty to ensure the students are getting an excellent education.”

HTA has built its learning environment outside of the traditional school building to a web-based curriculum that allows students to stay connected to their teachers and classmates. HTA’s entire enrollment of students now has one-to-one access to laptops they can use for their web-based classrooms, online discussions and email.

“We are very pleased to provide lease financing to HTA so HTA can continue to execute its cutting edge education model through the use of technology,” said Mike Lockwood, president of TEQlease Capital. “We have been providing equipment lease financing solutions to businesses in Hawaii for the last 11 years and are also deeply committed to helping charter schools with their equipment needs, and in particular schools such as HTA that are committed to online learning.”
