exchange partners

Through the Global Exchange Program at La Pietra – Hawai‘i School for Girls, students will have the opportunity to experience a short-term, immersive stay at our partner schools, subject to availability:

Hakuho Girls’ High School (Yokohama, Japan)
Diocesan Girls' School (Hong Kong, China)
Crofton House School (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)

High school students in Grades 9-12 are encouraged to apply. Applicants must maintain good academic and behavioral standing. Some proficiency in the language of the destination country is highly recommended. Each student and their family must be willing to host a sister-school student. In rare cases, La Pietra may arrange alternative hosting, though a reciprocal one-to-one arrangement is preferred to strengthen the cross-cultural exchange partnership.
