Kamehameha Schools To Go Tuition-Free
The Kamehameha Schools board of trustees announced that, pending Probate Court approval, Kamehameha preschools and K-12 campuses on Hawai'i Island, Oahu, and Maui will no longer require tuition beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. Ke Ali‘i Pauahi’s endowment will cover the full cost of education.
The Board of Trustees stated, “It has become clear that tuition no longer reflects either the reality or the values of a Kamehameha Schools education. Tuition suggests a transactional exchange. Yet, responsibility at Kamehameha has never flowed from payment. It flows from aloha, ancestral connection, and preparation.”
