St. Andrew’s Schools has developed courageous, compassionate leaders for more than 155 years. Recognizing a need for high-quality education for young girls, Queen Emma Kaleleonālani founded St. Andrew’s Priory School for Girls, the first all-girls preparatory school in Hawai‘i, in 1867. Since then, St. Andrew’s has grown to include The Prep, a K-6 all-boys school, and Queen Emma Preschool, a co-educational preschool in Nu‘uanu Valley for ages 2 through 5.

 

Cultivating Tomorrow’s Leaders
The Global Leadership curriculum—coupled with the Priory in the City Program and exceptional college counseling—positions graduates for success through direct experience in leadership and community problem-solving.
Students learn about themselves, discover their passions and start to build their futures with an aligned sense of purpose. They feel safe in the iterative process of learning, understanding that perseverance is key and that mistakes are part of the process. This allows them to tackle complex problems and address world issues with a can-do attitude and a growth mindset.

 

Real-World Experience and Independent Learning
Developing students’ strong sense of self gives them the confidence to take on the many leadership roles available to them, both in and out of the classroom. They learn through an educational framework that challenges them to investigate the world, recognize multiple perspectives and communicate their ideas.
The Priory is footsteps from the seat of government, businesses, nonprofit organizations, arts and cultural centers and healthcare systems. Students build community relationships, learn from mentors, explore careers, and become better prepared for the challenges and opportunities that await them in college and throughout life.

 

 

Inspiring Students to Have an Impact
At St. Andrew’s, rigorous classroom learning is balanced with real-world experiences through internships and educational travel opportunities. Tailored STEAM challenge students to solve problems in creative and innovative ways. Students use design thinking, engineering design process and the scientific method to frame questions, ideate, design, and build and test solutions.

Teachers cultivate individual passions and motivate students to become the best versions of themselves. St. Andrew’s nurtures the growth of each child in a challenging, yet supportive, environment that prioritizes emotional awareness and nurtures a purpose-driven intellect.
