Before I came to work here, I only new of Punahou's reputation as the premiere private school in Hawaii. As I have come to find out it is so much more with amazing faculty/administration/staff and incredible parent & family support. It is large, sitting on 76 acres with about 3,800 students. Bigger is not always better but the size allows Punahou to provide the depth and breadth in everything from curricula, athletics, arts, etc. that few can match or provide.

My favorite part about being a Punahou student was the vast amount of opportunities the school had to offer. I was able to sail on the school's Kamaola and discover my passion for marine biology.

Punahou is an amazing school with a rich curriculum for Academy students. However, it is difficult for new kids to feel include and integrate. Punahou does not do much for new kids. My child feels like it’s hard to break into the long established friend groups. Kids are quiet and not very friendly....

This school has an amazing campus. They have an impressive history and reputation. Our experience however was not good. My family really got involved in and supported Punahou. We were completely committed and devoted to this school. Unfortunately the shortcomings became so glaring that we chose to l...

I graduated in the early 2000s after attending from 2nd grade. I couldn't be happier with my experience across education, athletics and other extra curricular activities. My biggest takeaway from Punahou was a number of lifelong friends and most importantly my wife who I was able to reconnect with a...
