Counseling | Punahou School

Academic, Learning and Social Emotional Support

We recognize that our students have diverse needs and are impacted by a variety of factors throughout their Punahou journey. Deans, counselors and learning support specialists work as a team to provide student support in the areas of academic counseling, social emotional counseling and learning support. Student counseling at Punahou occurs across kindergarten – grade 12, providing student support in the following areas:

Junior School Counseling
Counselors collaborate and consult with administration, school staff, teachers, psychologists and families to provide general guidance and faculty support to help our youngest students be successful at school. Counselors encourage, intervene and advocate for students experiencing personal, academic and developmental difficulties.
S+Well (Academy Counseling)
Academy students are supported in their learning journey by a number of caring adults, including their Class Deans, advisory teachers and faculty in the Support and Wellness Department. The S+Well counseling team is composed of counselors, licensed psychologists, a chaplain and therapy dog. The counseling team collaborates and consults with administration, faculty and families to provide general guidance and support to help students be successful at school. Counselors encourage, intervene and advocate for students experiencing personal, academic and developmental difficulties.
College Counseling
Punahou seeks to provide both students and parents with the best information on college choices and admission requirements to aid in the application process. Our intent is to make the student as knowledgeable about post-secondary educational opportunities as possible.
