Punahou School, Private college preparatory school in Honolulu, United States.
Punahou School is a private college preparatory institution for kindergarten through grade 12 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The campus includes learning centers, sports facilities, and outdoor areas that support instruction across different age groups.
Protestant missionaries founded the institution in 1841 under the name Oahu College. It received its present name in 1934 and remains one of the oldest schools in Hawaii.
The school organizes the annual Holoku Pageant, where students perform traditional Hawaiian dances to maintain connections with local heritage and traditions.
The campus sits centrally in Honolulu with access via Punahou Street. Visits are only possible by prior arrangement, as it is an active educational facility.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers used parts of the grounds during World War II for military purposes. This conversion added an unusual chapter to the institution's history.
