I love the diversity in the faculty and staff because it helps to create an even more diverse community where our mentors have a wide range of experiences. The diversity is also apparent in the variety of teaching styles that allow students to discover how they learn best.
Because the high school is run similar to college, it really prepares students for college and how to manage their time and juggle extracurriculars, family commitments, and school. Academically, ones GPA may drop because it is more challenging that public school, but the experience and challenge is very beneficial for the growth of students.
Punahou has been making a lot of upgrades to its facilities. New buildings (that are Net Zero) are being built as well as the Kenneth Richardson Learning Lab in Mamiya Science Center that provides students with access to an array of machines.

Punahou was the best experience of my life! I want to send my own kids here. I attended Punahou from kindergarten through my senior year. The environment is amazing. I made friends for life as well as connections with my teachers and coaches. Punahou sets you up for success in your future endeavors, and is always encouraging and supportive.
Punahou is one of these places with the most abundant resources at your fingertips and yet still has an extremely warm feeling to it. It is such a nurturing and kind place and a great school for children to grow. I would only recommend this school, or any private school, for only high school or maybe middle school and high school only. Kids that go to the same private institution with the same classmates from grades K-12 are a little socially awkward, sheltered, and lack a general cultural awareness of what life is outside of these walls. But from the school's perspective, they will have 100% met their goals of providing a safe, innovative, exploratory style of education for children to flourish both analytically, creatively, and morally.
