• Medical/Travel Insurance

  We request that international and continental U.S. students have medical and/or travel insurance for the safety of their child and to ensure proper medical care.

• English Proficiency

  Punahou Summer Programs do not offer ESL (English as a Second Language) courses. It is required that all students have the ability to understand and communicate (i.e.; read, write, speak) in English at the appropriate grade level. This will ensure the safety of each student and enable your child to have a positive summer experience. No accommodations will be made for English language learners and the school reserves the right to modify schedules or remove students from courses if it deems appropriate.

• Participation and Behavior Policy

  Children are expected to participate in activities and be on good behavior at all times during the program. They need to be able to function independently and not detract from other students’ experience. If my child demonstrates unacceptable behavior that includes disorderly conduct or actions that jeopardizes the safety and well being of others in the program, he/she will be dismissed from the program immediately at the discretion of Punahou School staff without refund. More details are available in the Student Disciplinary Process section of the Student and Parent Code of Conduct.
