For more than 155 years, St. Andrew’s Schools has cultivated courageous, compassionate leaders grounded in a sense of purpose and prepared for a rapidly changing world. Founded by Queen Emma Kaleleonālani and grounded in Hawaiian and Episcopal values, our school community inspires every child to Kūlia i ka Nu‘u—Strive for the Highest.
Student-Centered Learning That Elevates Potential
From preschool through senior year, our students benefit from personalized, inquiry-based learning that draws out their individual strengths. In small classes led by passionate and experienced faculty, students are challenged intellectually and supported emotionally. Learning is never one-size-fits-all at St. Andrew’s; it is dynamic, individualized, and joyful.
Inspired to Lead and Take Action
At St. Andrew’s, students don’t just prepare for the future—they shape it. Our curriculum fosters curiosity, empathy, and social responsibility, empowering students to engage with real-world challenges through collaborative, interdisciplinary work. From science and engineering to the arts and humanities, we teach students how to think critically and act with courage.
Authentic Experiences That Build Confidence
Our downtown location gives students access to Honolulu’s civic and professional heart. Through our Priory in the City program and Global Leadership curriculum, high school students explore careers, serve their communities, and gain hands-on experience through internships. With the support of expert college counseling and mentoring, they graduate prepared for success in college and life beyond.
A Place to Belong, A Foundation for Life
Whether at Queen Emma Preschool or at our K-12 campus, students thrive in an inclusive, nurturing environment where high expectations are paired with loving guidance. We teach our students to lead with integrity, live with purpose, and believe in their unique ability to make a difference. They are known. They are seen. And they are ready.
