Beginning summer 2026, all international students must submit a video statement and report card to demonstrate English proficiency. In addition, families must also submit the Authorization for Medical Treatment and Tuberculosis (TB) by the noted deadlines.
2. Authorization for Medical Treatment Form
Parents or guardians of a visiting student(s) will be required to download, sign and upload the completed Authorization for Medical Treatment form annually. Signing this form will give permission to our Health Center staff to provide medical treatment to your child in case of any illness or injury. Please upload the form to our Health Center via the secure link below by April 25, 2026.
3. Tuberculosis (TB) Form
Students who have a TB form on file with Punahou School that was submitted on or after Summer 2022 do not need to submit a new form.
All applicants must have a U.S. licensed practitioner (MD, DO, APRN, PA) complete and sign the Tuberculosis form to confirm that the student is free from TB. The Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) Form will also be accepted.
Medical/Travel Insurance
We highly recommend that International and Continental U.S. students have medical and/or travel insurance for the safety of their children and to ensure proper medical care.
1. English Language Requirement
International students must be proficient in English and able to demonstrate their ability to understand and communicate (i.e.; read, write, speak) in English at their appropriate grade level. This will ensure the safety of each student and enable your child to have a positive summer experience. We are unable to provide accommodations for English language learners, and the school reserves the right to modify schedules or remove students from courses if it deemed appropriate.
