Saint Louis School Hawaii in eList Hawaii Directory

Since 1846, Saint Louis School has been preparing and motivating young men in Hawaii to achieve academic excellence and personal growth. Saint Louis is an independent Catholic Marianist School that gives students a strong college preparatory education emphasizing academics, service, faith and moral values. Saint Louis School is the successor of the College of Ahuimanu in Windward Oahu begun in 1846 by the Catholic Missions under the direction of the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. In 1881 the school moved to its second location on Beretania Street adjoining Washington Place, the Governor’s present residence. The name College of St. Louis was given to the institution in honor of Bishop Louis Maigrit’s patron saint. In the years following, it became evident that the elementary and high school departments were in need of still larger quarters. Encouraged by the parents and alumni, the Marianists laid plans for a greater Saint Louis College. In the 1920s, land was purchased and plans were developed for moving to the present location. In 1949 Saint Louis began phasing the lower grade levels out one at a time, until only the high school remained. In 1979, the schools Board of Trustees voted to re-incorporate intermediate grades seven and eight into the schools operation to begin in the fall semester, 1980. Sixth grade was added and the intermediate grades were converted to a middle school beginning with the fall semester of 1990. Special programs have been developed for the middle school to provide for a balanced and sequential approach to Christian education in the Catholic tradition for all Saint Louis students. Our Mission Statement: The Mission of Saint Louis School is to educate and challenge students of various religious, ethnic and economic backgrounds that they may achieve a quality education and become gentlemen in character, reaching individual potential through the Catholic Marianist tradition of spiritual, academic, physical and emotional maturity.
