Kamehameha's Kapalama Campus: A Mini-City

High above the city of Honolulu, the Kapalama Campus of Kamehameha Schools sits on more than 600 beautiful and hilly acres. Several thousand students from preschool to high school come here each weekday.

The campus is like a small town, with over 550 students and 53 families living on campus. Services like garbage pick up, lunch for 3,300 people, and water are provided each day. Kamehameha is the only school in the state of Hawaii that owns and operates its own fleet of buses. Hale Ola, a full-service dispensary, cares for both boarders and day students. All of the construction trades are represented on staff, including welders, electricians, and carpenters. And Kunuiakea, the new athletic field, will soon be open.
