At age six ({{circa|1857}}), Likelike returned permanently to Honolulu. She was initially educated at the Sacred Hearts Convent and School by the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu|Roman Catholic]] sisters of the [[Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary]]. The sisters arrived in Hawaii in 1859, and established day and boarding schools for Hawaiian girls next to the [[Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace]] in Honolulu. The schools were the predecessor of the [[Sacred Hearts Academy]] in [[Kaimuki, Hawaii|Kaimuki]]. Likelike was later educated by American [[Congregational church|Congregationalist]] missionary teacher Maria Ogden at the Makiki Family School, established in Honolulu in 1860 with the support of King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma.{{sfn|Kuykendall|1953|pages=105, 113–114}}{{sfn|Apple|Apple|1970}} Her last school was the [[Mid-Pacific Institute|Kawaiahaʻo Seminary for Girls]]; Likelike's teacher was Lydia Bingham, daughter of [[Hiram Bingham I]] (leader of the first group of American Protestant missionaries to introduce Christianity to the Hawaiian Islands).{{sfn|Apple|Apple|1970}}{{sfn|Peterson|1984|page=42}} Her classmates at Kawaiahaʻo included Annie Palekaluhi Kaikioʻewa (sister of [[Edward Kamakau Lilikalani]]) and Lily Auld, also members of the Hawaiian nobility.{{sfn|The Honolulu Advertiser|1909}}{{sfn|Kanahele|1979|page=12}}

Likelike was particularly close to her elder sister, Liliʻuokalani, who was warm towards (and protective of) her younger sister. In a September 7, 1865, letter, Liliʻuokalani (who had married [[John Owen Dominis]]) advised Likelike about her education:{{sfn|Kuykendall|1967|pages=479–480}}{{sfn|Sebree|1994|pages=119–120}}

{{quote|How lonely I feel without you. I miss you wherever I am — in the house — out of doors—in my rides — in my walks. I miss you very much — but I hope that when you have learnt all that is to be learnt at school&nbsp;... I may be able to have you with me again&nbsp;... therefore ''apply yourself'' my dear Sister to your studies. ''Try very hard''&nbsp;... This is another thing. Study to control your feelings — strive to be humble to your Superiors — obedient and humble to the Sisters, kind and affectionate to your schoolmates, if any harsh word begins to rise to your lips suppress it — do not let it escape — and when you succeed in doing so you will afterwards be happy to think that you had controled [sic] yourself.{{sfn|Kuykendall|1967|pages=479–480}}}}
