Academic Profile

Punahou School, an independent college preparatory day school, was founded in 1841 by Protestant missionaries on lands given to them by Hawaiian chiefs.

The beneficiary of these two traditions, and the home of a diverse community from around the world, Punahou is now the largest independent school on a single campus in the United States, serving approximately 3,770 students in kindergarten – grade 12.
