    Parent to Kala ’36

    “We chose Punahou because of their holistic approach to developing the whole child. Our son has grown so much in the last year and half he’s been here. He’s completely come out of his shell and we know it’s because of the safe space that Punahou provides and the environment that they foster every day.”
