About I-LION HAWAII SCHOOL

I-Lion Hawaii School is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 27-2114785) that runs language instruction and cultural-exchange programs for international students. The organization operates short- and medium-term study programs in Honolulu, including classroom English training and host-family placements, and is positioned as a U.S. hub for educational exchange activities.

The school is affiliated with Sendai Ikuei Gakuen (Japan) and was established to strengthen U.S.–Japan educational ties; public organizational records and nonprofit directories confirm the EIN and tax-exempt status. In recent years I-Lion has remained active as a donor-facing educational nonprofit, filing Form 990-EZ returns for multiple fiscal years through FY2024 and reporting program-related revenues and modest assets consistent with a small educational nonprofit.
