Introduction to Iolani School

Iolani School is a prestigious, culturally diverse private school with approximately 2,300 students from kindergarten to 12th grade. It was founded on the traditions and values of The Episcopal Church.

We strive for a warm educational atmosphere that cares for and fosters the growth of students, even amidst a challenging and competitive academic environment. Through customized education across diverse fields and dynamic classes, we cultivate intellectual growth, character development, cooperation, humility, and respect for the community in students across both day and boarding programs.

In particular, as we operate a boarding school, students in middle school and above can stay in Hawaii without their parents. We support children's growth and cultivate outstanding talent through excellent programs and attentive care.
