Punahou is dedicated to honoring its Christian heritage in the midst of the School’s ethnically and religiously diverse community.
An emphasis on moral and spiritual education and development pervades Punahou and can be experienced in classrooms, through community service programs and character education, in Chapel worship and worship-related experiences, and in the School’s ethos and daily life.
In partnership with the Trustees, faculty, staff and administrators, the Chaplains articulate and implement the mission of Punahou: to “develop moral and spiritual values consistent with the Christian principles on which Punahou was founded, affirming the worth and dignity of each individual” and to “appreciate cultural diversity and develop social responsibility.”
