Visitors to Campus

Punahou School’s campus is closed to the public. There are, however, work-related exceptions in which authorized visitors are allowed to be on campus with supervision. In these instances, authorized visitors must be reported to Physical Plant (physicalplant@punahou.edu) prior to their arrival and must check in with a security guard upon arrival and the School office of the area they are visiting to obtain a “Visitor” badge. A Punahou School Visitor badge must be worn at all times during their visit and must be returned upon departure.
 
Parents, guardians, alumni, vendors, and other guests can be on campus to attend specific events or meetings when invited by faculty or staff. When on campus, we expect visitors to follow all campus safety rules.

If you are a family applying to Punahou, please contact the Admissions Office at admissions@punahou.edu.

Visiting alumni should reach out to advancement@punahou.edu before coming to 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.
