HONOLULU (HI Now) - At La Pietra – Hawai’i School for Girls, we believe every young woman deserves access to an exceptional education—one that empowers her to lead a life of purpose, confidence, and impact.
Our Financial Aid Program plays a vital role in making this possible, allowing students to thrive in a small, supportive environment where their voices are heard, their ambitions are nurtured, and their potential is limitless.
Meet Melissa Kim, a proud graduate of La Pietra’s Class of 2009. With the support of financial aid, she attended La Pietra from 6th to 12th grade, finding a community where she flourished and grew into the confident woman she is today. Now a teacher herself, she continues to pay it forward, inspiring and empowering the next generation.
Alexzéa Burke, a new junior at La Pietra, is one of those students. Encouraged by Kim, her former teacher, Burke took a leap and joined the La Pietra sisterhood. Today, she is thriving, embracing new opportunities and making the most of the experiences that make a La Pietra education so unique.
With about 50% of La Pietra students receiving financial aid, community support is essential in keeping an equitable, transformative education within reach. By investing in La Pietra’s Financial Aid Program, you are helping shape the next generation of women leaders, innovators, and change-makers.
