It is not open to the public, and facilities such as playgrounds, fields, and other spaces may not be used for personal or recreational purposes without prior approval. The campus should not be used as a shortcut by foot or vehicle.

Visitor badges must be worn at all times. Drop-in visits are not permitted. Security personnel are on campus to provide assistance as needed.

Explore the Campus
At Punahou, our campus was thoughtfully designed to create smaller, intimate communities within our large campus community. These physical spaces were intentionally created for each division to group students of similar ages together in a setting where they can learn, play, explore and socialize together.
