Hawaiʻi School for Girls at La Pietra

Hawaiʻi School for Girls at La Pietra is an independent, all-girls college-preparatory day school serving grades 6–12 on a historic campus in Honolulu. Founded in 1964, the school emphasizes individualized, place-based learning, leadership development, and experiential opportunities that help students discover and pursue their purpose. The school maintains small class sizes (average 8–10 students) and a roughly 7:1 student–teacher ratio, and offers significant financial aid (approximately 55% of students receive need-based assistance). In recent years La Pietra has continued to expand its experiential offerings — including student filmmaking, community partnerships, and public events and fundraisers — while responding to community needs such as providing educational support to students displaced by the 2023 Maui wildfires.
