Hopkins School is one of the leading first tier prep schools in the country. Hopkins has a beautiful campus located on a quaint hillside in
Connecticut. Hopkins is a very
well respected school, however, less
well known than some of its peers (i.e. Choate, Deerfield, Exeter, and Hotchkiss) because Hopkins does not board. Hopkins was founded in 1660, and is the seventh oldest educational institute in
America. It was originally founded as an all boys school, but merged with the Day Prospect Hill School in 1972, and is now
co-ed.
Hopkins has educated some of the most brilliant minds in
history; these include Senators, Governors Supreme Court Justices, Congressman, Businessman, Postmaster Generals, Inventors, Diplomats, Artists, Military Generals, Composers, Engineers, Authors, Editors, Doctors, Architects and Lawyers. Some of these being, John Malone,
Edward Bouchet, Walter Camp, James Hillhouse, Paul MacCready, and Charles Ives.
With its dedicated teachers, committed students and extensive resources, Hopkins continues to maintain its excellent reputation in academics, prestige and athletics.
