Our community is blessed to be a center of Hawaiian education, which means you have many choices. We are humbled and grateful every time an ʻohana chooses Kamehameha Hawaiʻi for their keiki’s educational journey. Our students distinguish themselves through a very rigorous process and the collection of these many talents and moʻokūʻauhau enriches our school significantly. At Kamehameha Hawaiʻi, haumāna co-create a vision for their future. Our graduates go on to top tier universities both here locally in Hawai’i and across the continent. We are here to support each student’s pathway in finding their unique purpose and kuleana in service to our lāhui.
Shaped by Hawai‘i’s place, people and legacy, KS Hawai‘i carries the educational vision of founder Bernice Pauahi Bishop with a unique overlay of cultural grounding, adaptive thinking and building visionary leaders for the next generation, leaders who have an ‘Ōiwi Edge – a strong ancestral foundation that shapes the agency, adaptability, and well-being of haumāna, giving them a competitive advantage to fulfill their unique purpose and kuleana. KSH prepares students through issues-based learning in today's global world, alongside the innovative thinking and design for tomorrow.
Imbued with the mana of this special place, of Ke Aliʻi Pauahi’s lineage to this ʻāina, of the many generations of heroes and innovators who shaped our Hawaiʻi Island communities, and of our own kupuna. ʻŌiwi Edge empowers us with a worldview and mindsets to actively shape a rapidly changing world with vision, courage, and aloha. ʻŌiwi Edge embodies our shared kuleana to grow ʻōiwi Hawaiʻi learners and leaders who pursue excellence, engage generationally and globally, and ignite their unique passions and talents to serve and uplift their ‘ohana, lāhui and world.
