Punahou School has educated students to become the next generation of leaders and innovators for nearly 183 years. Through world-class academic and co-curricular programs from kindergarten through grade 12, we encourage students to cultivate their interests and talents, aim for their highest potential and become positive forces in the world.
Preparing Students for a Changing World
Punahou’s primary mission is to cultivate students into educated, capable and caring people who have the knowledge and skills to succeed. Punahou also prepares students to navigate a future shaped by emerging technologies and global change, while continuing its longstanding excellence in core subjects such as math, English, social studies and science. Our students develop the skills, knowledge, vision and mindset to flourish as the next generation of leaders poised to change the world.
Opportunities Abound
Supported by exceptional faculty and a robust curriculum emphasizing deep knowledge in core subjects, Punahou students are able to extend their learning beyond the walls of their classrooms. Extracurricular offerings complement academic pursuits, providing avenues for students to explore diverse interests. Our five on-campus Centers provide spaces and opportunities to connect with experienced faculty for additional specialized learning in Global Education, Public Service, ‘Ike Hawai‘i, Outdoor Education, and Design Technology and Engineering.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Punahou is committed to creating a diverse educational community rooted in equity and inclusion as fundamental human rights. We seek ways to create an environment in which the identities and cultural backgrounds of our families, students and employees are valued and respected by the entire Punahou community.
Financial Aid
Students are admitted to Punahou based on their potential to thrive, not their family’s ability to pay. Punahou offers a robust financial aid program to support families who could not otherwise afford a Punahou education.
Innovative Learning Environments
In recent years, Punahou has rebuilt or renovated a significant part of its campus to offer cutting-edge, reimagined learning environments. These thoughtfully planned, technologically advanced and highly sustainable facilities offer indoor and outdoor spaces that allow students to develop skills necessary to thrive in the 21st century.
