At Kamehameha Schools, faith flows from the living water of Jesus and is expressed through Christ-centered love that keeps us connected to Ke Akua and one another. Guided by the principles of E Ola!, we strive to be kūpono and serve communities with aloha so that all can thrive spiritually, academically and culturally.
