Kindergarten – Grade 3
Kindergarten Applicants
Developing a love for learning – whether through play, personalization, or exploration – along with becoming respectful, empathetic, collaborative members of a larger community is at the heart of a place where teachers learn alongside students every day and where love and kindness are valued. Each year we welcome 150 new students for the incoming Kindergarten class across six classrooms.
Age Eligibility
Punahou regularly reviews its admission policies to ensure we are following best practices. In an effort to promote greater gender equality in our application process, we have decided to move to a gender neutral age eligibility range.
Academic Year 2024 – 2025

Openings in Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 are based on attrition. It is not unusual that we experience 100% re-enrollment in these grades.
