Iolani School, one of the nation’s largest independent schools, is a private, co- educational college preparatory school that serves over 1,800 students. Founded in 1863, the school has been serving some of the state’s best and brightest students for
more than a century. Just across the Ala Wai Canal from prime Waikiki real estate, the campus is divided into two parts: an upper school for grades seven through twelve and a lower school for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. A highly selection
admissions process sees that only one in every seven applicants is actually offered a space at Iolani School.
One of Iolani’s major selling points is its academic excellence. The middle 50% of SAT scores ranges from 1730 to 2100. In 2008, the school had almost half of all of the state’s National Merit Semifinalists. About one in every seven students was honored
with the distinction. Iolani School is also well known for its athletics programs. In 2009, the school won the boys’ soccer, boys’ golf, and boys’ swimming state championship titles along with a host of league titles. Historically, Sun Yat-sen, a Chinese
revolutionary and the first president of the Republic of China, attended Iolani years ago.
