Campus to Open October 13

Our Pandemic Response Team continues to observe a decline in the average daily number of new COVID-19 cases over a 7-day period. Currently, that number on Oʻahu stands at 75 (as of Oct. 5), a level that, taken together with a test positivity rate under 5%, allows us to safely reopen campus on Oct. 13. We greatly look forward to welcoming children back to Kapunahou.
Distance Learning for K – 12

As President Latham announced on Sept. 4, Punahou School will remain operating in a high alert level (red) that necessitates full-time distance learning for all grade levels K – 12 until at least October 5. We will continuously monitor pandemic conditions and provide updates to families on a weekly basis.
