{{okina}}Iolani School is a private coeducational K-12 college preparatory school in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. It serves over 2,200 students with a boarding program for grades 9 - 12 as well as a summer boarding program for middle school grades.{{cite web |url=https://www.iolani.org/uploaded/PDF/College_Counseling_Profile.pdf |date=2019-10-16 |title='Iolani School Report to Colleges Class of 2020 |website=iolani.org |location=Honolulu, HI |publisher=‘Iolani Schoo |access-date=2020-01-04}} Founded in 1863 by Father William R. Scott, it was the principal school of the former Anglican Church of Hawaiʻi. It was patronized by Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma who gave the school its name in 1870. ʻIolani in the Hawaiian language means "heavenly hawk". Today, ʻIolani School is affiliated with the Episcopal Church in the United States. It is administered by a Board of Governors and is one of the largest independent schools in the United States.{{cite book|publisher=National Center for Education Statistics|author=Broughman, Stephen P.|author2=Swaim, Nancy L.|title=Characteristics of Private Schools in the United States: Results from the 2011-12 Private School Universe Survey.

History

=Early years=

On October 11, 1862, Thomas Nettleship Staley arrived in Hawaiʻi by request of Kamehameha IV and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. The following year Kamehameha IV, a member of the Church of England, established the Hawaiian Reformed Catholic Church, also known as the Anglican Church of Hawaiʻi. The school was originally named for Saint Alban.

In 1863, Staley's companion Father Scott purchased land in Lāhaina and established Luaʻehu School, a school for boys. When Father Scott fell ill and returned to Britain, Father George Mason was summoned by Staley to administer the school on Maui. On January 12, 1863, the St. Alban's College was also established in the Pauoa Valley in Honolulu. Mason also seemed to have managed this school as well. Before Staley, too, left the islands for Britain in 1870, Father Mason merged the two schools and relocated it to the St. Alban's campus. Later Bishop Alfred Willis purchased land on Bates Street in Nuʻuanu Valley and moved part of the school there, intending it for students of full or part Hawaiian descent, under the new name of ʻIolani College. The St. Alban's College, intended for white students, separated and continuing operating at Pauoa until 1887.{{cite web|title=History Timeline|year=2013|work={{okina}}Iolani School|url=https://www.iolani.org/about/history-of-iolani/history-timeline|access-date=June 4, 2019}}{{cite journal|author=Soong, Irma Tam|title=Sun Yat-sen's Christian Schooling in Hawaiʻi|journal=The Hawaiian Journal of History|location=Honolulu|publisher=Hawaiian Historical Society|volume=31|year=1997|hdl=10524/527|oclc=60626541|pages=151–178}}{{cite book|last=Restarick|first=Henry Bond|title=Hawaii, 1778–1920, from the Viewpoint of a Bishop: Being the Story of English and American Churchmen in Hawaii with Historical Sidelights|url=https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001414289|year=1924|publisher=Paradise of the Pacific|location=Honolulu|oclc=1337282|pages=116, 127–133, 193–200}}

With the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi and annexation to the United States in 1898, the Anglican Church of Hawaiʻi became part of the Episcopal Church United States (ECUSA). ʻIolani School was moved to Nuʻuanu, transferred back to downtown Honolulu and then moved to Nuʻuanu a second time. It remained in Nuʻuanu from 1927 to 1953, when it was moved to the present Ala Wai site. The elementary school was moved to the Ala Wai site in 1946.

In 1979, the school became co-educational, ending its all-male enrollment policy.

=Development=

ʻIolani School grew and refined its program offerings with a standard college preparatory curriculum as a foundation for every student. Religion, performing and visual arts, music, and athletics became integral parts of the ʻIolani School education. As such, all students in fourth grade must be involved in performing arts.

Returning to its history of being a boarding school, ʻIolani opened its newly constructed residential dormitories for boarding students in February of 2019.

The campus is divided into Upper and Lower School. Buildings include Castle Building, Weinberg Building, the I-Wing, the art building, the Nangaku Building, the Sullivan Center for Innovation and Learning, Boarding Dormitories, the Kaneshiro Science and Innovation Center, and the Sidney and Minnie Kosasa Performance Studios and Courtyard. Other facilities include the Upper Gym and the Lower Gym, the Tsuzuki Library, the Dillingham Pool, the FabLab, and St. Alban's Chapel. ʻIolani School also has a stadium (Kozuki Stadium), a baseball field, an outdoor basketball court (the One Team Field house), and several tennis courts.{{cite web|title=Campus Maps|url= https://www.iolani.org/school/campus-maps|access-date=February 13, 2024}}

The Harold K.L. Castle Building was dedicated in 1980 to the Castle Family which had donated land to 'Iolani School. The Castle Building also contains most classrooms for the 7th and 8th Grade.{{cite web|url=http://staging.iolani.org/locations/castle-building|title= Castle Building | Iolani School|website='Iolani School|access-date=June 4, 2019}} Orchestra and Choir also use this building for their Performing Arts classes for both Upper and Lower School students.

The Sullivan Center for Innovation and Leadership was finished at the end of 2012 for the replacement of the Upper School Library. The Sullivan Center was created to emphasize sustainability and includes classrooms, laboratories, an auditorium, and a garden among other facilities.{{cite web |title=SULLIVAN CENTER |url=https://www.iolani.org/about/sullivan-center |website='Iolani School |access-date=2 July 2021}}

The project is scheduled to be completed in winter 2025.{{cite web |title=Arrillaga Student Center |url=https://www.iolani.org/school/arrillaga-student-center |website=‘Iolani School |access-date=13 February 2024}}
