Welcome to La Pietra - Hawaii School For Girls

Located on the slopes of Diamond Head, La Pietra is an outstanding college preparatory school, offering girls in grades six through twelve unique opportunities for educational growth and personal development in a campus setting of historical elegance.

A student-teacher ratio of eleven to one ensures both personal support and academic challenge. In accordance with the school's philosophy that education is a "pleasurable struggle," a partnership between home and school reinforces shared values of respect, manners, responsibility, perseverance, cooperation, independence, and teamwork.

At La Pietra, girls ARE the leaders, and co-curricular opportunities in student government, Peer Leadership training, athletics, the fine arts, and community service invite our students to be global citizens who make a difference.

La Pietra returns to Bella Italia 2011

We are taking an informal poll to find out how much interest there might be in sending our Upper School students on a Fine Arts tour of Italy next March (2011) during Spring Break. It will have been 5 years since our last tour, which was packed with unforgettable moments and memories. We'd need at least 20 students. At the moment, the cost is estimated at approx. $4,000 for an 11 night/9 day tour that includes Florence, Villa La Pietra, Pisa, Siena, Verona, and Venice.

If you are interested, please click here for more information or email Mrs. Lynn at sharil@lapietra.edu
