‘Iolani School is a co-educational, college-preparatory school for grades K-12 founded upon Christian principles.
Its mission is to develop well-rounded individuals, who are well prepared for higher education and for responsible, moral citizenship. We have been teaching the young people of Hawai‘i since 1863. Our students are well-rounded, curious, intelligent and active citizens.
Congratulations to the ‘Iolani School Class of 2026!
Once seniors, now alumni, Raiders forever.
