Founded in 1887, Kamehameha Schools is a statewide educational system supported by a $11.0 billion trust, endowed by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. The system includes K-12 campuses on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i, and Maui, and 30+ preschool sites statewide. The combined preschool through grade 12 student enrollment is more than 6,900 and makes Kamehameha the largest independent school system in the United States. Kamehameha Schools gives preference to children of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
