Meet Kukui, a haumāna in the Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi class of 2034 with a rich passion for art and aloha for his ʻohana. Watch his moʻolelo below or on the KS YouTube channel.

Like Kukui, each student who chooses to join our kula bring their talents, uniqueness, moʻolelo, and a rich moʻokūʻauhau from their ʻohana. In joining our kauhale, they connect to the moʻokūʻauhau of Ke Aliʻi Pauahi, who established our schools to foster opportunities where keiki can thrive and contribute to our larger kaiāulu.

Our kuleana as educators is to recognize that we are intentionally growing ʻōiwi leaders, helping them to find their own unique purpose and kuleana for the purpose of ea.

Our goal at Ke Kula ʻo Kamehameha ma Hawaiʻi is to empower students to find and deepen their passions so they can mobilize all that they bring in service to lāhui, and ultimately achieve the vision of Ke Aliʻi Pauahi.

Applications for the 2026-2027 school year open August 15 through September 30. If you are considering applying your keiki, you can get ready now by taking a look at the steps involved when applying to each grade level and start gathering the required documents. For our Hawaiʻi campus, applications are accepted for grades K, 6, and 9 for the next school year. Find all the information you need on the application process at ksbe.edu/apply.

Kamehameha Schools’ admissions policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
