EXPLORE. QUESTION. WONDER. LEARN.

Hopkins is a gender-inclusive private college prep school for Grades 7 to 12, located in New Haven, Connecticut. As America’s third-oldest independent school, we’re known for our long history of academic excellence - but take a peek inside our walls and you’ll see there’s something fresh and exciting happening here every day. Here, we encourage students to get curious about everything – asking questions, solving problems, and uncovering their passions – because we know that curiosity is a superpower that can, and will, take them anywhere.

WHY HOPKINS SCHOOL?

IGNITE YOUR CURIOSITY

Hopkins School is home to a diverse community of students who are eager to explore, passionate about learning, and supportive of each other. 


The students who thrive here love to think and learn. They are intellectually curious and want to be challenged by faculty and inspired by other students who share their passions. They are collaborative. They embrace technology. They are brave. They are creative. They are open minded, critical thinkers. They are going to change the world in unique and exciting ways – and we are so glad to be an important step in their journey to post-secondary and far beyond.
