School Notes Overview:

Hopkins is a traditional, independent, coeducational day school of 675 students in grades 7-12.

We define ourselves as a community of civility and learning, one that educates students from diverse backgrounds to a full measure of their talents and humanity. We seek to develop in our young people the habits of mind of scholars as the foundation for a lifelong love of learning; foster the courage to live and think as distinct individuals who embrace their responsibilities in the larger world; expose every student to the deep satisfaction that derives from service to others; enlarge the educational experience to include the creative joy and aesthetic sensibility of the artist, and the vitality and competitive spirit of the athlete; provide, through the School's advisers, the wisdom and goodwill necessary to guide our young people to confident self-reliance; and nurture the development of character essential to leading a rich and purposeful life....
