A Punahou education is one that is enriched by a commitment to helping all students achieve their intellectual, physical, creative and spiritual potential to the fullest degree. The K – 12 curricula exposes students to a wealth of integrated learning experiences to develop healthy minds, bodies and souls.

Punahou's physical education program starts in the Junior School where students learn the importance of movement through basic locomotor skills and experience group and individual interactions.

The Luke Center for Public Service coordinates service and service-learning programs, activities and opportunities within Punahou and the larger community. The Center also provides guidance and resources to students interested in developing their own service projects.

Chapel is a source of spiritual, moral and ethical education and development for Academy and Junior School students and imparts the values on which Punahou was founded.

The Wo International Center offers global education opportunities for students, including programs in intensive language instruction, study abroad and summer programs, and lectures and seminars.
