Our daughter has been at La Pietra for 5 years, each year has been exceptional. With engaging and responsive teachers, La Pietra delivers a academically challanging, yet creative curriculum. The school goes above and beyond to foster the highest development for each student. The leadership opportunities and inclusion in sports is an experience not found at other schools. In high school they have a hands on approach to assisting graduates to get accepted to top universities and obtain scholarships. Lapietra is what all private schools should be, I call it "worry free" school!

La Pietra is an amazing school. My high school daughter thrives there -- academically and socially. It is a safe and beautiful campus, academically challenging, and fosters girls' creative and artistic side as well. If you want your girl to turn into a well-rounded, vibrant and smart young woman, then definitely check this school out. My daughter wants to get there early and stay late...all this from a teenager!

They celebrate each individual girl's artistic and academic strengths. They also make sure the school feels like a family.

They provide an education that emphasis development in intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual areas. The girls are encouraged to develop their own talents and personal interest.

i am a student at LP and i can honestly say I LOVE IT HERE! the atmosphere is great, quite and peaceful. the teachers are warm and the classes are small, so we can get more time to talk with the teachers if we dont understand something. at my previous school i wasnt doign good in math, but in my first year at LP my math grade was an A. i HIGHLY suggest this school... it is PERFECT!! (there is some drama between people, but not everyone gets tied into it and if you know the people you hang out with, you wont get tied in.) because it is an all girls school, there IS drama over guys (primarily from St. Louis because the middle school has a dance with them.. but thats ok). OVERALL... THIS IS A GREAT SCHOOL! i love it -Class of 2014 student

I love La Pietra School for girls because my daughter is getting a very good education. She loves to go to school and takes respocibility for her own homework. She enjoys school and her classmates. The Hawaii campus is so quaint and pleasant. The teachers are warm, qualified, and professional. I love the activities and extra curricular that bring my daughter and I together. I enjoy the open house meeting the parents and teachers. Yes I think La Pietra is the best school for girl s 6th to 12th grade to attendant and the school should win 20,000 for being the best!

We have found La Pietra to be excellent, beyond our expectations. Though our daughter was accepted to multiple top private schools, she chose La Pietra because of her experience on the school visit. Now, it is clear that this was an excellent choice. High academic standards, challenging and creative education, and a multitude of opportunities to build leadership qualities. We highly recommend this school.

After one year at La Pietra, my daughter loves it. The faculty create mentoring relationships with the girls, while at the same time giving them the independance to encourage the development of their confidence and their critical thinking abilities. The school offers a wide range of academic and sports programs and has a full and creative arts department. The girls are encouraged to participate and the entire school community is very supportive to each indivual student. What more can I say. It is a fabulous school; intimate, supportive, creative, exciting and dynamic. I recommend it for any girl.

La Pietra, Hawaii School for Girls; is an extremely exceptional school for girls ranging from grades 6-12. By far the best college prep school in the state of Hawaii. I attended La Pietra from 6th grade through 12th, and am proud to say that I am in my first year of Law School at UCLA. Without the strong educational foundation that La Pierta set for me I would have never made it this far. La Pietra challenged me intellectually while at the same time stimulated me socially. La Pietra offers a wide range of extra-curricular activits as well as core classes. This school did not only prepare me for higher level education at the University level, but also taught me the skills that I needed to be able to interact socially among my peers. On a scale of 1 - 10 I rate La Pietra an 11! Aloha!
