Oahu’s first school, Chief’s Children’s School, was founded in 1839 during the reign of King Kamehameha III and is still up and running to this day. On June 28, 1839, the cornerstone of the original school was laid. Today, that’s where the Iolani barracks stand.
Missionaries Mr. and Mrs. Amos Cooke, from New England, were told to teach the 16 Royal Children. Famous alumni of Royal School are Kamehameha V, ruler of Hawaiian Islands from 1864-1872, Queen Emma, King David Kalakaua, Queen Lili’uokalani, William Lunalilo, and Bernice Pauahi, who married Charles Reed Bishop and left quite a legacy for future generations of Hawaiians in education.
The name was officially changed to Royal School in 1846, and students were restricted to descendants of the Royal line and heirs of the Chiefs. A second school was built on the site of the present School in 1850, and opened to the general public in 1851. A two-story building was later constructed in 1904, and in 1967 the present school was built. In 2000 a new administration / library was formed.
