'Iolani School

1. The Sullivan Center for Innovation and Leadership The Sullivan Center is a 40,000-square-foot, four-story facility entirely dedicated to forward-thinking, experiential learning. Unlike traditional science labs, this space focuses on design thinking, robotics, coding, entrepreneurship, and sustainable agriculture (including a rooftop greenhouse). It serves as a collaborative hub where students don't just learn theory, but actively develop solutions for real-world problems. 2. A Rich Historical Legacy with a Culturally Grounded Global Community Founded in 1863, 'Iolani has a deep historical legacy, famously counting Dr. Sun Yat-sen (the father of modern China) among its alumni. Today, that global connection is paired with a distinct sense of Hawaiian ʻohana (family). Its residential life program uniquely integrates a diverse group of international and domestic boarding students directly into a thriving local day-school campus, creating a rare blend of global perspective and deep-rooted local community.
