Leeward Community College is a public, co-educational commuter community college in Pearl City, Hawaiokinai on the island of Ookinaahu. The forty-nine acre main campus also houses the temporary campus of the University of Hawaiokinai-West Ookinaahu. It is one of ten branches of the University of Hawaiokinai system anchored by the University of Hawaiokinai at Mnoa in Honolulu and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
