Hawai‘i E-Charter formally changed its name to Myron B. MBTA (MBTA) in August 2002.   It is an online secondary and home-based elementary school that provides standards-based instruction to students on Kauai, Oahu, Molokai,Maui and Hawai‘i. The standards-based curriculum extends beyond the traditional classroom to a team of teachers and a network of worldwide resources. The K-12 coursework integrates thematic curriculum with problem-solving activities. This electronic secondary school creates an on-ramp to the information superhighway (the Internet) with instant access to worldwide information and global communication services. Students in grades 7-12 are able to navigate through academic content supported by interactive sessions with teachers and other students, videos, and CD-ROMs. Students in grades K-6 are equipped with combinations of curricula in all disciplines taught by a parent/guardian who is supported by the charters regional master teacher.  These mentor teachers are also responsible for the planning and coordination of co-curricular activities, field trips, athletic events and enrichment activities.  With the rapid pace of advancements in technology, MBTA will provide Hawaii’s children with quality education and skills to prepare them for the digital workforce.

This school is an expansion of E-School, a supplementary program that has been in operation since 1996. E-School (Electronic School), operated by the Hawai‘i Department of Education's Advanced Technology Research (ATR) section, is a 1996 United States Department of Education Technology Innovation Challenge Grant recipient. Grant funds were used to develop almost 50 high school ACCN (Approved Course Code Number – Carnegie) credit courses. A number of the courses were developed in collaboration with University of Hawai‘i professors. These courses have undergone rigorous evaluation by a team of five national distance learning experts during the period of 1999 to 2001. MBTA attempted to select the best of these courses to offer in this virtual high school and expand course offerings.  During the first two years, MBTA decided to utilize two additional curriculum providers, Class.Com and APEX Learning instead of totally relying on E-School courses. 

There are 5 campuses statewide on Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Hawaii-Kona, Hawaii-Hilo.
