SchoolKamehameha Schools Kapälama is an independent college preparatory day and boarding school with a Protestant Christian program. Its kindergarten through grade 12 enrollment is 3,200. The high school includes grades 9-12 and enrolls 1,800 students. About 360 grade 9-12 boarding students, primarily from the neighbor islands, reside on campus. The majority of KS graduates are first generation college bound students. Kamehameha Schools was created under terms of the Will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop and the Schools are now supported by the Estate‘s endowment, which is valued at $11.9 billion as of June 30, 2018.

The school is located on a 600-acre hillside campus in a residential area overlooking central Honolulu, the capital of Hawai‘i. Honolulu, on the island of O‘ahu, is a cosmopolitan multi-ethnic city and home to the University of Hawai‘i at Mänoa and the East-West Center. The population of O‘ahu is approximately 900,000.

There are more than 70 buildings and seven miles of roadway on the campus. Major buildings include: the Midkiff Learning Center which houses print and media materials, a student media production center, and a television studio; a technology center encompassing automotive, electronic, computer-aided designing and drafting, engineering, robotics and other labs; a performing arts complex; and extensive recreational facilities. Building upon the strengths of a wide variety of instructional technology, a one-to-one laptop program was launched in 2009, and expanded in 2010. All students in grades 9-12 are issued school-owned laptops.

AdmissionAdmission to grades K through 12 is competitive. KS‘ admissions policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law. Special consideration is extended to orphans and indigents. At the high school level, the acceptance ratio is 1:6.

The student body is diverse, with a wide range of interests and talents.

Financial AssistanceBecause Kamehameha Schools subsidizes a signifcant portion of the cost of educating all students, tuition and fees total $5,199 each year for day students and $9,228 for boarders. Approximately 66 percent of the student body receives additional aid based on their financial need.

Hawaiian Language ProficiencyAll KS high school students must demonstrate a level of Hawaiian language proficiency in the areas of listening, reading, speaking, and writing through a series of assessments.

Disciplinary Infraction Reporting Policy: When students initiate a request to release information on their performance, conduct, and behavioral history, while enrolled at Kamehameha, counselors will do what is pono and respond to all requests truthfully. Please reference the Parent/Student Handbook, pg. 57-58 at http://kapalama.ksbe.edu/high/home/ for additional information.

Honors ProgramThe Honors Program for students of high ability is comprised of 8 Dual Credit, 28 Honors and 17 Advanced Placement courses in six academic areas. Approximately one fourth of the high school student body is enrolled. In May 2018, 410 Advanced Placement tests were given in Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, English, History, Japanese, Physics and Psychology.

70% of those tested scored a 3 or higher. 107 members of the Class of 2018 received Academic Honors Diplomas by meeting
