Since its founding in 1841, Punahou School has educated students to become the next generation of leaders and innovators. Learn about our rich history, visionary leadership and guiding principles.
This in-person event is designed specifically for our parents and guardians who have a sixth-, seventh-, or eighth- grader who is brand new to Punahou. We look forward to sharing important information with you about your child’s transition into Case Middle School, much of which may already be familiar to our returning families. Light refreshments will be served. Adults only please.
The Wo International Center offers exciting opportunities for student travel – join us to learn more about all we have planned for this year! At this event, you will hear from trip leaders and recent student travelers about the programs available to students in grades 7 – 8 this year:

Please enter campus through upper Mānoa Gate. Parking will be available along Piper‘s Pali. Please ask a security guard for guidance if needed. After you park, we invite you to wait at the Omidyar main entrance/amphitheatre area and chat with others until the entire group walks together upstairs to classrooms a few minutes before our 6 p.m. start time. Your evening will be spent in your child’s classroom with your child’s teachers.
This evening will focus on your child’s transition into the Academy, Academy culture and procedures, parent/guardian communication, and an overview of the four years ahead. We encourage you to arrive early to connect with fellow Class of 2029 families and enjoy refreshments on the Dillingham Lānai beginning at 6:30 p.m. before the program begins promptly at 7 p.m.
