Kamehameha Schools, founded by Bernice Pauahi Bishop in 1887, is an institution grounded in Hawaiian and Christian values, and over the years has strategically placed itself in the forefront of generations of Native Hawaiian learners who live, work, think, create, and lead effectively as Hawaiians in their communities, as well as engage in global issues. The foundation upon which Kamehameha Schools’ legacy is based can be found in the following documents and resources that set the groundwork for much of Kamehameha Schools Preschools' mission. We invite you to peruse these documents and become familiar with their background information.
