Hopkins School

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.
